Hurray for the brewing companies and advertisers. Is there a Labatts or Molsons museum anywhere where these ads could be featured? Great article. Hurray for the brewing companies and advertisers.

Not only that, but Labatt also play the nationalist card in Québec. During the Québec National Holiday they run ads with the slogan "Fiers d'êtres bleus" ("Proud to be blue", a reference to the Québec flag). “[...] as for Labatt—…it’s missing the shiny little maple leaf that peeks out from behind the brand name in the rest of the country.”
