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.
