The ginger ale doesn't taste the same in Ireland (even if it is Schweppes), but I love a good rye & ginger. I'm sure you could order a Canadian Club & ginger ale in a pub, but I have no idea what it would set me back or even where I could get one. I don't think ginger ale is a common mixer, and I doubt many pubs stock CC (although I haven't really made a dedicated search).

Alas, although both Labatt and Molson still brew their beer in Canada, they are part of the Anheuser-Busch and Coors empire's respectively so it is even more doubtful if they can be considered Canadian, any longer. I really enjoyed the Molson "I am Canadian" rant but I don't think I'll hear the likes of that again. Too bad I don't like Caesars. I'll have to find some other way to express my pride in being Canadian. I can remember drinking India Pale Ale at my father’s knee….
