It would be wise for every business to have “Made in Canada” stickers, sections, and signs on everything they can.
As a consumer, I want to be involved in supporting my country and will choose Canadian products if that’s an option, so making it easier is a win/win for us and local businesses.
Here’s a great distillery to start with. The butter tart moonshine is fantastic.

No, but Canadian whisky isn’t the easiest to recommend, sadly. Maybe try the odd small distillery. Bridgeland comes to mind.
Well now not all Crown is equal. The Northern Harvest rye is actually pretty good.
Quite like Dillon’s, do some really fantastic gin too and they use a lot of local stuff, some interesting specialty stuff too if you’re into that.
Liked Glen Breton too, but has been some years since I’ve had that.
Actually the Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye, specifically, is absolutely fantastic. Won awards all over the world too. It’s an incredible bang for your buck whisky that makes a superb base for cocktails.
Not really no. There is good Canadian stuff out there depending what you’re looking for and where in Canada you are. Lot no. 40 makes good rye that’s available pretty much everywhere, the Single Copper Pot Still and the Dark Oak are both good. Tons of smaller distilliries doing good stuff as well, but a lot of those might be hard to get depenging where you are.
Considered by experts, I don’t know. What I can tell you is that I love the Crown Royal Black. The Salted Caramel is not bad either. The original Crown Royal I don’t like.
My dad buys the salted caramel by the case!
It’s too sweet for me, but he loves it and probably singlehandedly keeps his LCBO restocking it.
Other than maybe some small, craft distilleries, every Canadian whisky company makes boring stuff that tastes good with coke. However, most also make some higher end whiskies that are actually good. Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye, mentioned elsewhere in this thread, is a good example of this.
These better stay up even though Trump “paused” his tariff threats. Until he fully backs down and cancels them, Canada shouldn’t be selling US booze.
Don’t worry, you can still make American beer at home by buying Canadian beer, then cutting it with water.
EU needs something like “Certified Not USA” or something. Go go go Canada!
I hope we keep the clearly-marked signs up regardless of the 30-day reprieve announced today.
We cannot just go back to the way things were.
