Is Kicking Horse Coffee Canadian?

Founded in BC and still roasted there, but Italian coffee group Lavazza acquired a majority stake in 2017. Canadian-made, foreign-controlled.

What this verdict means

The product is manufactured in Canada by Canadian workers, but the company that owns the brand is foreign. Your money supports Canadian plants and Canadian supply chains; the profit leaves the country. Whether that counts depends on what you are trying to support.
