About
This week, Ontario premier Doug Ford responded angrily to reports that the spirits company would be closing the Amherstburg Crown Royal bottling plant, killing 180 jobs in the process.
Ford recently declared that he had a message “to [the company’s] CEO in France: You hurt my people, I’m going to hurt you” adding that Diageo leaders were “dumb as a bag of hammers.”
