Fleecy is a brand under the ownership of a major American multinational, which results in a low True North score due to foreign capital and strategic control. While the entity maintains a functional presence in Canada for distribution and sales, the primary economic benefits and high-level decisions flow to the United States. Economic retention is mainly concentrated in the downstream logistics and retail sectors within Canada.
Measures: Canadian symbolism intensity vs economic reality (True North)
