Canadian Businesses See Opportunity in U.S.A.

At a time when U.S. based businesses are struggling, some Canadian based competitors are seeing opportunity.  The Canadian businesses are able to use the still strong Canadian economy and the Canadian side of their business to fund expansion into the U.S. at a time when their U.S. competitors are struggling. One example is in Washington state.  Washington based Western Recreational Vehicles has closed it's doors.  At the same time Abbotsford, B.C. based Adventurer Manufacturing LP is expanding into Yakima, Washington.  Canadian businesses are able to get a foot-hold in the U.S. market and their hope is to weather the storm in the U.S. while subsidizing the U.S. operations with their Canadian side.  They will then be in a good position in the U.S. market when that economy recovers.
