Is It Canadian

Is Crown Royal Canadian?

Verdict Made here, foreign owned

Distilled and aged in Manitoba, but owned by British spirits group Diageo since 1997.

What this verdict means

The product is manufactured in Canada by Canadian workers, but the company that owns the brand is foreign. Your money supports Canadian plants and Canadian supply chains; the profit leaves the country. Whether that counts depends on what you are trying to support.
