ATTITUDE

Re-verified 2026-09-08; finding unchanged. Corporations Canada's federal registry (automated search confirmed working) returns zero results for "Bio Spectra" and none of the 20 unrelated hits for "Attitude" (a resource centre, a form-manufacturing enterprise, etc.) is the household-cleaning brand, consistent with ATTITUDE's legal entity, Bio Spectra Inc, being incorporated provincially in Quebec rather than federally. The Registraire des entreprises du Québec, which would hold that shareholder register, blocks automated lookups and was not queried per instructions, so no significant-control register was accessible. The vendor's own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy name only the trade name "ATTITUDE" with a Montreal head-office address and disclose no legal entity, parent company, or ownership structure. Independent press (La Tribune, 2019) corroborates Jean-François Bernier as founder and president, matching the vendor's own About page, but states only his title, not an equity or control stake, so it doesn't clear the bar a significant-control filing would. No acquisition, private-equity, or investor coverage of ATTITUDE/Bio Spectra turned up in press or PitchBook searches; PitchBook's own profile page was inaccessible (403). A second co-founder named in an earlier brief, Hans Drouin, is still not credited anywhere on the vendor's site. CA 1.0 remains an inference from the founder-led narrative, not a verified ownership statement.

ATTITUDE's plant-based formulas rely on plant-derived surfactants (typically coconut- or palm-derived), which are largely imported; the vendor's Our Lab and Ingredients pages describe formulation standards but disclose no sourcing countries for raw materials, so the split is an estimate weighted toward imported feedstock rather than a published figure.
