NF Designs - Abandoning Canada (self.buycanadian)

submitted 3 days ago by potate to c/buycanadian

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Heads up to cyclists - NF Designs - makers of super nice riding wear is moving production to the US. Their stuff was made in Vancouver until recently - but they just announced that they are moving production. It isn't super clear from their website so I emailed asking if it was EVERYTHING or just select products that would be made in the US and their response sounds like it's everything.

Looks like I need to find a new brand of riding gear!

Maybe the moderator could pin a new thread to make a list of Canadian companies that are leaving for the US.

Prepac Manufacturing is also leaving. They sell furnitures
It would be great if someone can just buy out their assets here and continue the business. Maybe the Canadian government can help with the initial financing.
It's much easier to get a business going if the people the skill sets are still together, plus it adds competition and make companies leaving for the US consider having another competitor is worth the move

I understand why they want to move to the US, as I am sure there are groups of people down there boycotting Canadian things and the US is a bigger market than Canada. They are however not realizing that other countries around the world are also starting to do the boycott, and that more countries are selling their bonds from the US, it is going to hit the pooper soon.

Also, Canada has nice perks such as:

✅ Rule of law

✅ The most educated workforce in the world

✅ Not having foreign and trade policy go in a completely different direction every 4 years

✅ Giving a shit about diversity, equity, and inclusion to get the best workforce possible

✅ Easier to attract foreign talent, no chance of them getting abducted by ICE for having political views the government of the day doesn't like.
