As workers filed out of Diageo's Amherstburg, Ont., Crown Royal bottling facility for the last time on Wednesday, some expressed anger — not just at the company that put them out of work, but at the provincial government for not following through on a promise to pull Crown Royal off shelves if the plant closed.

"You told me man to man that the day I walked out of here, being the last person, you were going to pull it off the shelf," said Doug Benekritis, the Diageo chair for Unifor Local 200, addressing Premier Doug Ford directly.

"As far as I'm concerned, I held up my end of the bargain and you didn't." Benekritis said the region helped propel Ford into government with its election of several Progressive Conservative MPPs but says he'll "never vote Conservative again."

Should be able to get Québec owned/made whiskey in a few years. There's currently a lot of distillery making good gin, they should pivot to whiskey soon.
