Sorry but you seem knowledgeable. Is crown royal safe? If you don’t know don’t worry I’ll do research later. Thanks in advance

I believe they're owned by Diageo, which is a UK company, and I don't think that Diageo has an American subsidiary like Suntory does, but otherwise pretty much everything I said applies.

This really is a situation where you have to do a little research and make your own value judgement on these things. I'm honestly not too sure where I land on it, I want to support Canada in this but I also want to give as little money to the US government as possible, and they're somewhat at odds so I need to make the call which is more important for me with every item I might buy that has to cross the border.
