They’re not pulling out, they’re just removing the brand from the Canadian market… which makes sense, because Kleenex lost its trade mark protection in Canada. So they’re using the Scotties trade name instead (same company).

I don’t know who the ultimate parent company of Kimberly Clark is, but iirc, Scott products are manufactured by Koch industries.

Don’t they get all their damn lumber from Canada?
Edit: looks like they stopped doing that in 2011.A Canadian co bought a lumber mill in my area. Heard they pay better too.
