Sorry - Beer is our "Beverage of Choice"? Pretty sure we drink more tea than beer and more coffee than tea... and more than either that sweet sweet water.
I don't even particularly associate Canadian culture with beer, we make some darn fine ones but Cider tends to dominate our alcohol culture (or maybe Fireball).
What a weird call for empathy.
I assume they meant alcoholic beverage of choice.
Also, while beer has been losing market share since around 2008, it remains the most popular alcoholic beverage nationwide, as well as being the most popular for every province except BC and Québec (who both prefer wine).
"Ciders, coolers, and other refreshment beverages" account for only around 10% of the market share, behind beer, wine, and spirits, so I'm not sure where you get the idea that cider is the most popular alcoholic drink.
That's fair, that might be BC bias - a lot of ciders come out of the Okanagan.
Not lately. Shit was on fire, yo (almost including the vineyard I laboured in the summers at picking grapes).
