If you're looking for an alternative to Baileys which is owned by a company in the US, then check out Forty Creek Cream which is from Ontario. We bought a bottle last week after I saw the suggestion here on Bluesky. It is fantastic in coffee and hot chocolate. Much more creamier. #BuyCanadian

🇨🇦 SUMMER MCINTOSH
The Canadian swimming star wins the 200m butterfly in a time of 2:02.62. That is the fastest time ever in an American pool.
It’s her third fastest time ever. In fact, McIntosh owns the next three fastest times behind the World Record in this event.

Bailey's alternative.
Bailey's is owned by Diageo. This is the company that just shuttered the Ontario Crown Royal bottling plant in order to move production to the USA.
Corby is partly owned by Pernod Ricard, but this is made in Cowansville, Quebec by Ungava Spirits Co. (bought by Corby in 2016.)
