tuques are a type of knitted hat usually, not specific to winter.<p>them generalizing a section including tuques as hats is correct, i dont think i have seen a &quot;tuques&quot; section in any canadian store, they would be in the hat section.<p>toques are hardly a canadian thing, and alot of canadians refer to them as beanies.<p>target did not fail cause they werent canadian enough(is anything really canadian?), they failed due to locations, business model, inventory, and technical issues on their backend.<p>if anything they failed because they werent &quot;american&quot; enough, as canadians were expecting a similar experience to USA target shopping
