I see, from my perspective I've watched my industry shrink in number of
players without new companies coming on line. There are really only 5
big boy players each commanding a different market segment. I had three
offers on my business when we put it on the market. Two were domestic
and one from Canada that wanted my flat wire technology and market REAL
bad. The Canadian company needed to grow and open a new market.
Canadians are weird people I found out and have a strange way of doing
things. I had a lot of frustration getting them to do things in a
timely manner and they wouldn't listen to me about how to do things and
how to relate to US customers. I thought it was just me until I spoke
with others in the industry and found out that that's just how Canadians
roll.


Since many years ago, I have a policy to never sell anything to any
Canadians. The reasons are exactly as above.
