Gary,
The U D Archive has the Schenley news magazines from the 40's and 50's. They have many articles about the entry into the Canadian Whisky market with articles about their two distilleries - one in Quebec and the other in Alberta. The next time you are in town I will try to get you in the archive to look at the articles if you wish.
The OFC certainly has stood for many things. It seems to me they changed it from Oldest, Finest Canadian to something else when Rosenstiel sold the company and that UD may have changed yet again, but since Canadian was never a main point of research for me while employed at UD, I never really looked into it too deeply. The current statement may be something different still.
