Should I issue a correction?
By Steven | December 18, 2025
So now I’ve heard from Virginia Nicholl of the NZ Alcohol and Beverages Council. She says that the 2-drink guideline is not official Canadian government policy, and refers me to this link and Eric Crampton’s analysis here.
This getting further into the weeds than I expected when I blogged about the overlap between the Media Council and the Broadcasting Standards Authority. And to be clear: this is not my field. But if this is right, it means that my speculation below is not (though the general issue about what the Media Council might do with late-coming information that shows a decision is wrong remains interesting).
So I don’t know what to think. But if this is something that’s keeping you awake at night, stay tuned. I’ll run it down.
