Control: Foreign (decisions)

LocknLock maintains a minimal economic footprint in Canada, functioning primarily as an importer. The True North score reflects that ownership, strategic control, and manufacturing operations are entirely foreign-based. Economic retention is limited to downstream retail and logistics employment rather than industrial or capital retention.
