Spytechblog

As a business that sells somewhat unusual products, we recognize that any additional information we provide can benefit not only our customers, but casual readers as well.  Since the owners and staff at Spytech have accumulated decades of collective experience in the business, we have decided to share our knowledge through this "Spytechblog".

Tariffs

Hans School

Due to the current U.S. tariff situation, Spytech has been actively renewing and improving our supply chain and product line. We are prioritizing Canadian suppliers, distributors, and manufacturers wherever possible. Of course, in our industry nearly all electronics originate in Asia, and the United States, but we are working to bypass any unnecessary U.S. distribution channels.

Founded in 1991 and 100% Canadian-owned ever since, we certainly understand the challenges faced by Canadian businesses. We have always employed Canadian workers, paid Canadian taxes, and supported the local Canadian economy.  Like all Canadian businesses, we recognize the paradox of a system where our domestic tax revenue indirectly subsidizes our international competitors, but this is just a reflection of longstanding policy imbalances within our own country.

Lately however, the geopolitical climate has introduced a new urgency: many of these same foreign corporations who have benefited from Canadian businesses are now supporting the political movement to undermine Canada’s economic sovereignty. While we value so many past business relationships, and even great friendships we’ve built with American partners over the years, this recent trend is completely unacceptable.

If anything positive comes from the current political chaos it would be the opportunity for Canadian consumers and policymakers to champion our own domestic entrepreneurship! Choosing Canadian-made products not only sustains local employment, and bolsters GDP growth, but also ensures that revenue circulates within our economy rather than diverting towards offshore tax havens.

 Note that we have been listing some of the countries of origin for our products on our website so customers can see who benefits from their purchases - in particular we are trying to highlight companies with Canadian services - while also expanding procurement from European and Asian partners as alternatives to U.S. distributors.  Note that any products which don't have a country identified, just assume they are from China, due to it’s obvious dominance in global electronics production.

To our loyal Canadian customers: Thank you. Your support means everything, you are the only reason any Canadian small business can even survive in the face of competition from corporations with limitless resources, unfair foreign tariffs, and restrictive legislation which would never apply to large international corporations. Since we don’t have the same entitlements as the companies from south of the border, we assure you we will keep working harder, innovating more, and staying competitive to earn your business.  We ask for your patience and continued trust while we establish stronger partnerships within Canada, as well as other nations in a similar trade position as Canada, and strive to cultivate a more resilient and dynamic Canadian economy.

Spytech is proudly Canadian.
