~~"Designed in Canada.~~ Built ~~for movement"~~ not in Canada.

I never said it was built in Canada, I said its a Canadian company which is better than buying a brompton from a US company?

Brompton is not from the USA. It's British.

So as a clone, it wasn't designed in Canada either. Supporting a Canadian retailer is ok, just very low on the totem pole.

Literally ANY of these would be better.

Maui bikes are built in Quebec by Thibert. This isn't even built in Canada.

Okay? They also don't sell a brompton style folder? Never claimed it was built in Canada, there's tiers to buycanadian and buying from a Canadian company who manufactures overseas is still better than buying from a US company (brompton)
