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

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.

Exactly. This is news to me, so thanks for sharing. I'd rather support Canadian farmers and entrepreneurs in addition to those blending + packaging it. Some might make a different choice. I'll probably go to the distiller down the road now to keep more money in my community, instead of the LDB
