Ontario Premier Dumps Diageo Whiskey on Ground to Protest Plant Closure

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has taken a strong stance against Diageo Plc's decision to shut down its whisky bottling plant in the province. Ford publicly dumped bottles of the Canadian-made Crown Royal whisky on the ground, protesting the company's move to cease operations. The Premier criticized Diageo's decision, arguing that it will result in job losses and negatively impact the local economy. He expressed disappointment that the company is choosing to produce the Canadian-branded whisky elsewhere, rather than maintaining the production facility in Ontario. Ford's public display is aimed at drawing attention to the issue and pressuring Diageo to reconsider its decision. The closure of the bottling plant is seen as a blow to the province's manufacturing sector and the Premier is determined to fight for local jobs and the production of a Canadian-made product.
