Control: Foreign (decisions)

Milliard maintains a foreign-led economic profile with its True North score primarily impacted by international ownership and centralized US control. While the brand actively services Canadian consumers through distribution networks, the core manufacturing and capital retention remain outside the domestic economy. Strategic decisions and material sourcing do not demonstrate a significant Canadian footprint.
