Control: Foreign (decisions)

Kingsdown maintains a significant industrial presence in Canada through localized manufacturing facilities. However, the True North score is impacted by its status as a foreign-owned subsidiary, meaning capital and strategic control flow outside of Canada. Economic retention is primarily driven by domestic labor and production infrastructure rather than ownership.

True North: 90/100

The Brick maintains a high True North score due to its status as a subsidiary of a Canadian-owned and operated public parent company.
