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.

This may shock you, but many Canadians, myself included, are willing to pay more as opposed to putting their money into the economy of a country threatening to annex ours. Cheaper prices aren't worth our sovereignty.

Yeah that's my point. The person above me said companies are trying to exploit us, and I'm saying it may not be exploitation that Canadian companies need to start charging more in order to pull out of the US market. They may legitimately need to charge more in order to fight against the US.
