Lets go like this;
The company has to have atleast one product made in canada (ie RM makes the Element in canada still)

then a lot of companies are potentially off the list. Norco even, which is the definition of Canadian bikes. I can't think of anything they make here...

Yeah, my buddy just picked up his banshee amp, a company that used to pride itself with a made in Canada sticker, now shamefully stuck with a made in Taiwan.

Norco went with the "designed in Canada" sticker. its quite shameful imo

While i do see your point as valid I fail to see how it makes any sense.

theres no pride in having bikes made in Taiwan
however, there's a lot of pride in making your bikes right here in Canada.

i understand both points of view, but i dont think saying "we build our bikes in Taiwan!" is anything to be proud about

That's what i said in the first place, banshee used to pride itself on being able to say they make their bikes in Canada, now they're shamefully made in Taiwan.........
