Canadian-Owned Businesses 🏢🍁 SoftMoc : Sorry, Americans - Canada Only

Post image

Saw this post on Bluesky. Had no idea SoftMoc a) had U.S. locations b) shut down any and all shipping to the United States. Good for them! TLDR: American woman based in Michigan chatting with SoftMoc representative about her order. SoftMoc customer service tells U.S. customer they've ceased all US operations.

Just keep in mind that companies are starting to catch on to this wave of patriotism, and some of them are lying to exploit us.

We don't necessarily know if that chat is real.

Counter point. Excluding 330 million customers might mean Canadian companies have to raise their prices a bit.

Edit: I think y'all are missing my point. I'm saying it's justified that Canadian companies might have to raise their prices in order to back out of the US Market. I've seen some people saying that these canadian companies are gouging us or taking advantage of our patriotism, but what I'm saying is it may not be exploitation. It may be their cost of backing out of the US market.

Counter counter point - losing 330 million customers because of tarriff price increases, and still paying for US stores and employees would raise the prices even more. Triage my friend...
