Hosers do without Kleenex
Kleenex is pulling out of Canada.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66621028

"Canadians with runny noses and teary eyes will soon have to part with their Kleenex after the company announced it was pulling its famous facial wipes from the country.

Kimberly-Clark, the company behind Kleenex, said the decision was based on "unique complexities".

Other Kimberly Clark products like Huggies and Cottonnelle will remain on Canadian shelves.

"The decision was incredibly difficult for us to make," the statement said....


But this is not the first time a big brand name has abandoned Canada. Beloved American snacks like Bugles, Bagel Bites and Little Debbie products have also said goodbye in recent years.

Economists told the BBC that may be because Canada's market is not all that friendly to foreign business.

According to the World Economic Forum's competitiveness index, CEOs most frequently complain about Canada's inefficient government bureaucracy and high taxes - at least compared to the US.

"The US market is easier than Canada's for a variety of reasons," said Walid Hejazi, an economics professor also at the Rotman School...."

RE: Hosers do without Kleenex
I used to know an American who moved to Canada in 2001 (in protest of the Bush Admin.) and tried to start a small business there. He was a smart guy, and he had some connections there. I thought it would work out for him. About 5-6 years later, I noticed he seemed to be back in Atlanta and I asked a mutual acquaintance what was going on. Long story short, the financial and bureaucratic hurdles for an immigrant to start a business there made New York City seem like a libertarian’s paradise in comparison. I think native-Canadians have it somewhat easier, but “easier” =/= “easy”.

Just use your damn sleeve. And drink your water from the garden hose, it’ll tighten up your immune system.

Oh, and go get a bee sting or two.

Soft. Soooo, soft
