Yeah, even in 2010s there were more brands locally doing things. I find myself spending on boutique products (wolftooth, cane creek etc.) manufactured in the US or UK, and I can't help but wonder why those parts aren't made here. Where I can, I'm happy to pay a premium for Canadian made (Chromag stem, various chain rings...). Id pay a few bucks more for a made in Canada one-up guide. It would be nice to have more middle grounds, where you don't need to buy titanium to buy local.
