Several US-based start-ups have been receiving Canadian-themed welcome kits from Plastic Mobile as a means to give them a taste of what the country has to offer.
These Canadiana welcome kits include items like bags of Tim Hotron's coffee, maple syrup, poutine gravy mixes and Drake’s newest album and a framed photograph of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Since the race of this year's upcoming United States presidential election has been particularly controversial, many Americans have been threatening to make the move north to Canada should Donald Trump be elected into power. As such, Plastic Mobile and others like Spotify, Air Canada and Sortable have been quick to play into this idea with unique promotional campaigns.
