Much truth much laugh

 

My list goes like this.
1. Ecc
2. Tim hortons

 

Burger King is already in Canada. lol.

 

Moved: General Discussion -> Off Topic.

 

Nothing will change.. except it's now owned by another company..

 

It will still be called Tim Hortons.. I don't see what your point is.

 

he's trying to say that it just won't feel the same because you know that it is not a genuine tim hortons.

 

but it is still the genuine Tim Hortons managed by the same guys doing the same thing and having the same employees. literally nothing is different. this isnt a thing about patriotism or anything. this is just people finding a reason to complain about a problem that doesnt exist. (or a problem you create in your head..)

the only differences is that the company is owned by burger king. but thats not something that matters. youre creating a problem out of thin air..

no. im german. does that matter? no.

 

Because Burger King bought the whole company for 12,000,000,000+ USD, to not change anything about it?

 

im stating what i think based on what has been showed me in THIS THREAD.
The article that was linked stated specifically that NOTHING WOULD CHANGE. So excuse me for forming conclusions based on what YOU linked me.

i think patriotism is a silly thing regardless of where you live or how you feel culturally. that statement was not an insult towards you or canadians nor was it intended as one. it was a general statement made around MY OPINION.

i state my opinion on the situation based around the facts that you gave me and then you get angry because my opinion happens to be the opposite of yours. its ridiculous.

youre the one who linked it and that was yesterday. so sorry for thinking that was up-to-date information. :|

 

So I've never been to Tim Hortons or Canada. Is it any better than Krispy Kreme?

 

This thread went from a link to a website to an argument that consists of essay length replies.

 

EH?
I don't even like Tim's that much, but I do respect it so this was a WOW moment for me when I heard the news. I'm utterly disappointed in Tim's.

 

I love Tim Horton's, even as American. Burger King has good stuff, but otherwise it's barely above average. (Not my preferred taste of food.)

However, Tim Horton's probably will not change much at all. Just like when anything else major gets bought by someone else who is major, medias EXPLODE with opinions phrased as facts. Unless Burger King, in your Canadian media, has explicitly stated they are making [major] changes, there probably will not be any.

Some people I follow on social media (Canadians and Americans; even Europeans) were making good statements about taxes being involved. Buying [the] Tim Horton's [name] apparently allows them some way to move their HQ (if they want to), spread Burger King itself, reduce taxes, etc. I don't know all the politics and economics behind it, but many other companies have apparently been doing that for many years. /shrugs

 

Many many US companies moved their headquarters to Canada or other countries after a tax hike. Simply in order to avoid paying the high tax rate of 40%. In result, strengthening the economy of countries other than the US. Many Congress members refer to those companies as "Benedict Arnold Corporations". Benedict Arnold was a member of the Continental Army during the American Revolution, he was a bold and courageous hero but decided to betray his country after not being satisfied with compensation for his acts of valor.

Warren Buffet calls those companies "Corporate Deserters".

Paul Ryan wants to reduce taxes so that American companies will get bigger profits. In result, keeping America at the top. But Warren Buffet opposes that idea of tax reform and wants high taxes. I can't seem to understand why. But I bet he has a great reason.

I just wanted to add some more detail. :)
