Seems perfectly reasonable to me. If it's manufactured in Canada and giving Canadians jobs then its OK for the shelves. Empress is a BC brand that's always been distilled their employing Canadians. If a Canadian isn't stepping up to buy it back it's asinine to suggest Empress comes of BC shelves. 1

We're losing jobs and a 100+ year old Canadian brand in hopes a Canadian investor steps up? I have confidence in Canadian capital if there's not significant incentive. How did Empress end up Texas owned in the first place? Do we pull Molson until they break up with Coors? 2

It’s not distilled in BC. They buy industrial corn alcohol from wherever they can get it including overseas. I’m not suggesting it should be pulled off the shelf. I think people should know that it’s a Texas company since 2022.
