I'm not sure about Canadians, but I have a bottle of bathtub whiskey that my Grandfather made in the 1960's. Im honestly too afraid to smell it nevermind drink it.

I don't know about the rest of Canada -- alcohol is a provincial jurisdiction -- but here in Quebec, artisans can make wine, mead, fortified wine (up to 46 proof, I think) and cider quite easily, providing they have a license and their products pass some (rather severe) quality requirements. For spirits, it is the same but the license is much much harder to have and the standards much higher -- I know of only ONE legal artisanal apple brandy producer.

My Puerto Rican friends make a moon shine they call pitoko, wrong spelling I'm sure. They make it with fermented fruit in mason jars. Sometimes they use peppers. It knocks you on your ass but man does it taiste good.

I saw on the news the other day that people here in the US can make corn squeezings leagally now. However it must be for use as a fuel and must be made unfit for human consumption. They estimated the cost was around $1.60 a gallon.
I had a neighbor who had a still out in the woods behind his house. I heard it was not to bad, but the local Sheriff heard about it too and busted my neighbor and destroyed his still.
