    Tim Hortons is owned by Restaurant Brands International, which is itself majority owned by American private equity.

    What makes it not American owned?

    It’s publicly traded, why don’t you pony up and make it 100% Canadian?

      Tim Horton's is also American Owned.

      Boycotting American dominance and takeover and Trumps invasion promise, will SHOCK Canadians at how much of their country has been given away nearly free.

      Boycott Home Depot. Big time. Owners have funded Trump, Trumpism and the far far right for decades

      Home Depot is PART of the INVASION.

      Research to deepen the boycotts.

      Home Depot billionaire to fund Trump even if he is convicted

      Republican mega-donor Bernie Marcus said on Tuesday he would likely still give money to Donald Trump's 2024 presidential bid if the former president was convicted of a crime - but the billionaire does not plan to be one of his biggest financial backers.

      @kevinrns @avidamoeba the Home Hardware World Domination Headquarters is just two blocks from my house, so let me encourage you to switch from the capitalist Home Depot to the Canadian Home Hardware.

        I’m unsure why you think a publically-traded company can’t still be American-owned.

        And it used to be Canadian-owned. Too bad our governments haven’t taken care of keeping Canadian businesses Canadian.

            Home Depot is a publicly traded company, it doesn’t have an “owner”. Sounds like you are referring to the CEO, which Home Depot has, well had, two. One was a big Trump supporter, but he passed away last year. The current CEO is a Democrat supporter.

            Sounds like you should do more “research”.

              Home Hardware has mostly left my area. Thankfully, there’s Rona and a local Tim-Br-Mart that is mostly locally owned and operated, so that’s where I get most stuff.

                  I really hope McyD’s runs away from Canada and new Canadian fast food joints take over. I do not want McDicks to do what A&W did and create a new company that is some other company separate from the US A&W.

                    The leaf has been on McDonald’s Canada for as long as I can remember… but I haven’t eaten at a Canadian McDonalds this year at all.

                        RBI’s principal executive offices are in Miami, Florida. In North America, RBI’s brands are headquartered in their home markets where they were founded decades ago: Canada for Tim Hortons and the U.S. for Burger King, Popeyes and Firehouse Subs.

                          You’re assuming that those currently holding the shares will sell. But in all fairness, per Wikipedia, a generous chunk of RBI is held by a Brazilian investment company, and former Tim Hortons shareholders still hold some shares, so somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 American-owned? Which still isn’t great.

                            Agreed, but don’t use false claims to try and discredit it further. It just makes you look weak.

                              Stopped buying McD’s about 6-7yrs ago. I would eat their breakfast all the time. Then I had to make mine at home for reasons for a bit. Noticed I was hungry about a half hour after I ate McD’s but not when I made brekky at home.

                                While RBI is headquartered in Toronto, Canada, and pays corporate taxes there, it’s often mistakenly perceived as a Canadian company, largely due to the presence of Tim Hortons

                                  But it’s not headquartered in Canada. The Tim Horton’s office is … but BK, Popeyes and Firehouse Subs are headquartered in the US.
