        It’s actually only 17%, and even that was “I haven’t changed my habits”, which could be someone that was buying Canadian already.

        The 53% was people who changed habits and are buying more Canadian/ international. The rest includes no change, drinking less, and people who don’t drink.

      That’s what I love about having the state run alcohol stores in Sweden. The fascist-“conservatives” complain about it to no end, but it means no matter what remote bush you live in, you have access to the same range of alcohol as city folks. And if your local store don’t have it in stock, they’ll order it for you at no additional fee. Now that home delivery is more of a thing it’s even easier.

      Let’s just hope the right isn’t able to destroy it in the name of “choice and freedom (freedom to exploit)” before we manage to get social democrats back in power.

        We have the same here in Québec. But in remote village with only one general grocery store, they often have only a small section that carry shit like Smirnoff, Jack Daniel’s, Tanqueray, and Havana Club. And some big commercial brewery beers.
