The likes of Donald H and the other Creepy Ones have hurt us dearly and we have little innovation or ability to maintain our best citizens due to them leaving for the U.S. Now more Canadian companies move to the U.S.
I wonder if this is related to Ontario blocking some U.S alcohol? If true, it now it ends up costing us more jobs as they move to the U.S to avoid such boycotts in the marketplace.
The facility is one of the Canadian plants that bottles Crown Royal whisky.
The company said the whisky will continue to be mashed, distilled and aged in Canada, but the move was an effort to shift "some bottling volume to be closer to its many U.S. Crown Royal consumers."
"Diageo will maintain its significant footprint across Canada, including at our Canadian headquarters and warehouse operations in the Greater Toronto Area and other bottling and distillation facilities in Gimli, Manitoba and Valleyfield, Quebec," the statement read.
Unifor Local 200 president John D'Agnolo called the move "shocking and devastating."
