The Canadians I know call the blended Canadian whiskey "rye", whether it has rye in it or not.  I don't think Wisers or Crown Royal are distilled from any rye grain, but they sure call it that.  Maybe it is a regional thing, as I'm talking about Manitoba.  I'm talking about the smooth blended Canadian whiskeys.  They also seem to like scotch from Scotland, which I think is horrible stuff, but I guess that's a fault of my own.

It's also good to know that an American case of 24 beers is often called a "two-four" in Canada, and a 12 pack is called a "case" (cans).
