It looks like they've been quite the global football.

By 1995, the company was owned by Norwegian conglomerate Orkla. That year, Orkla sold a 50% stake in Helly Hansen to Resource Group International, which merged with Aker in 1996.

In 1997, Investcorp bought Aker's stake and most of Orkla's stake, resulting in its 70% ownership of Helly Hansen, which was valued at $160 million at the time.

In October 2006, Investcorp sold its shares in Helly Hansen to Altor Equity Partners, a private equity firm.

In 2012, Altor sold a 75% stake in Helly Hansen to the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.

In 2015, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan increased its position, acquiring Altor's remaining stock in the business. In May 2018, Ontario Teachers sold the company to Canadian Tire for CA$985 million.

Ultimately, they're probably better off avoiding poking the bear, and simply working to freeze the US out of the international scene moving forward.

or is it just like regulation about what can be transported across provincial lines?

It's not a hill I'd be willing to die on, but I would prefer it to accurately reflect the work that was done at the time.

...because they saved Prodigy?

I would be astonished if anyone's talking about this by the time the next election rolls around.

The instance sidebar has a fairly concise description of each community hosted here.

The fact that it was originally written for a theatrical film probably helps.

It's the hot new trend - Warner and Disney have each done the same thing.
