Paraphrased from Wikipedia: Sam Bronfman was one of eight children of Mindel and Ekiel Bronfmam (born in Soroki, Bessarabia). His parents immigrated to Wapella, Saskatchewan in 1889, but soon moved to Brandon, Manitoba. In 1903, the family bought a small hotel business, and Samuel, noting that much of the profit was in alcoholic beverages. As a result, he established the Distillers Corporation in 1924 in Montreal.

So good call. They apparenty were from Saskathewan and Manitoba. At least, that's where the kids (including Sam) grew up.

Good for him of course. But not for those poor souls to whom he sold this poison.
