00:28This, traditionally, is probably the lowest part of our season.
00:33Everybody's hibernating. Dark days of winter.
00:36You don't think of flying a flag on a pole outside.
00:40Excepting, there's a few obvious things that are really impacting that seasonal trend this year.
00:46Would be politics.
00:50Our friend south of the border.
00:53People are going to get mad at me for saying friend.
00:55But obviously the Trump tactics and threat to our sovereignty is spiking flag sales in what traditionally would be a week period.
01:06Our volumes are double what they would normally be at this time of year.
01:12And we think that this is going to be a huge year for flag sales in Canada.
01:24You guys are done?

01:50Year over year, we know because we ship early to our large mass merchandise clients.
01:57Their orders are up significantly.
02:01We'll know more about the year in the next month or so.

02:17Probably more.
02:19This is the first time I've ever really concerned about actually running out of product.
02:25As a management team, we're talking about extra shifts, extra supplies to try to keep on top of demand that we anticipate coming.
02:39...
03:03We're not the enemy. It's hard to understand why we're being attacked.
03:08The auto industry that I work in, it's all integrated. Canada, Mexico, U.S.
03:13So it's kind of hard to understand, but we've got to stand up for Canada.
