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).

That's not true.

They don't own Scotties.

Oh ok, found this other article that had more details but it suggests Scotties is a different brand?

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

Scotties is owned by Kruger Paper in Canada, not Kimberly-Clark.
