🔍 Investigation Breakdown
Video Script & Investigation
When winter hits and you need serious cold weather boots, it is easy to assume every classic brand is Canadian. But many familiar names actually belong to foreign parent companies: Sorel is US-owned under Columbia, Timberland belongs to VF Corp, and Ugg is owned by Deckers. Looking at real Canadian brands: Kamik has been made in Quebec since 1898. Baffin is headquartered in Stoney Creek, Ontario. La Canadienne operates out of Montreal, Quebec. And Pajar was founded in 1963 in Montreal. Canadian-owned. Canadian rooted. This is Canadian made.
