True North: 90/100

Sail achieves a high True North score due to its status as a Canadian-owned and operated entity with its strategic core in Quebec. Most economic value remains in Canada through domestic ownership and payroll, though the score is slightly offset by the global supply chains common in the outdoor retail sector.
