Canada has Canada West, Viberg and a few others.
US has RedWing and Danner.
As for electronics, that’s a pretty broad category, but for example in the Audio/Stereo fields, we have NAD, Bryston, Paradigm/Anthem, PSB, Totem, Verity etc… speakers, amplifiers, AVR processors etc…
I am familiar with Canada West. They’re made in my city.
But what I was referring more to was mass market footwear, and the majority of those (regardless of where the HQ is) are made overseas, as is most clothing in general.
As for those electronics manufacturers, with very few exceptions, the components they assemble into their finished product are sourced outside of North America.
Let’s make Canada West mass market baby! Finest boots I’ve ever bought and worth every penny. Shame they aren’t easy to find retailers, but I’ll always go out of my way to find them.
As for making our own capacitors, resistors, transistors etc… It makes no sense to build everything within your country. It is important to have a diversity globally so supply chains can be resilient, especially in light of a growing deglobalization trend.
This. Canada first but let’s also support the EU and Mexico and Brazil and all the other places Trump is targeting.
Turns out there’s a whole world of products - we just need to alter our trade alliances and tastes.
Neither of those things are made in the USA either.
Confidently incorrect.

The US list is even bigger.

Replacing usa with china or any other country isn’t great either
Replacing USA with multiple countries is the safer option.
