I never ate at Hardees before they became Carl's Jr with a different name. I think Carl's is a few rungs up the ladder from BK. After one of the meat scares years ago all the BKs out here started cooking their meat longer and it was always too charred around the outside for my liking. I still like their chicken sandwich even though I don't think they're worth what they charge for them. I'm a tight ass when it comes to fast food anyway. I'll buy something on sale or something I have a coupon instead of a more expensive item I'd rather eat.

There's not many around here anymore outside of the few in combo restaraunts. There's one on Van Nuys Blvd a couple miles away but it's real nasty and dirty looking. They always have a "B" or "C" rating from the health dept. There's one in Burbank that's alright but that's probably ten miles away. Where I used to live there's still a Foster's Freeze. They're about the same as DQ. They used to have a few Tastee Freeze's around here too but the only one I know about now is probably 30 miles south of here in Norwalk.
When I say there's a Tim's here on virtually every major corner, I shit you not. You literally cannot go in a 5 mile radius without running into one. The greater township I live in has at least 5 stores to handle a population of 57,000 or so. That doesn't count the ones just beyond the borders, and there is at least one in every municipality here, if not more. I can't think of more than 5 Duncan Donuts locations for the entire area...
They almost partnered with Wendy's to open a mega store in an abandoned K-mart, but that went tits' up. There are no duel store Tim Hortons here I think...

dodge, allow me to over simplify for the many, many simps.
"The oppression of finance capital keeps growing. Giant monopolies controlling the bulk of social production dominate the life of the nation. A handful of millionaires and multi-millionaires wield arbitrary power over the entire wealth of the capitalist world and make the life of entire nations mere small change in their selfish deals. The financial oligarchy is getting fabulously rich."
now we all know where ows and so many simps here stand. so what private company mandates my purchases of Chinese food?
p f changs?

I was wrong, there's at least 8 if you count the ones inside other stores. They do share space with "Cold Stone Creamery" ice cream stores here as well...

That partnership was probably a pre-emptive strike against Dunkin Donuts teaming up with Baskin Robbins, believing that they would co-locate themselves. Of course that's before that combined company was bought up by a joint partnership of Bain Capital & the Carlyle Group.
Oddly enough, the new Baskin Robbins signs don't spell out the full name, they just use the initials "BR". Maybe they changed the name to "Bush Romney" ice cream to reflect the new ownership, and just went with the initials. I still say Poppy only did this deal so he could import his product from Colombia disguised as powdered sugar.
There is a Coldstone on the east side of town locally, but they don't sell any Tim Horton's stuff there. Still have to drive north of the border to see a Tim Horton's around here. As far as Burger King goes, I think there are still two open here in town. As opposed to 5 or so a few years ago. The one that's closer to my house never seems to have any business. I haven't eaten there in years myself (pretty much gave up on fast food with the exception of Subway and Chipotle, the somewhat "healthier" options.)

Baskin Robbins has the best peanut butter and chocolate ice cream on the planet. The peanut butter isn't this smooth creamy shit like you get in ice cream at the Walmart. Nah, it's hard chunks of peanut butter. There may very well be CIA smuggled cocaine in it because it's addictive.
I am not a particular fan of Tim's coffee, but I wouldn't trust anyone's judgement claiming McDonald's was the coffee of choice
The appeal of Timmy's is that you can go there and spend a reasonable amount of cash and get quality pretty healthy options...
There isn't a focus on supersizing or having a 2 gallon coke with every meal or the ever popular : 'Ya'll want cheese on that?" which is more of a rhetorical question in the US lol.
This news has me worried except for the fact these guys directing the move want to continue making money. If the supply chain from Burger King infects Tim's it will all turn into garbage.

I'm late to the party here, but who can blame them? If I had a legal way of keeping more of my cash I would too.. I'm sure we all would. What's the big deal? They're not the first to do it.

If the CEO and every everybody else that gets a piece of the profit of BK wants to move to Canada no problem but the money made here off something made here hopefully by legally employed workers should be taxed here. Why not buy an Island that's not within anybody's territorial waters and name it Burger King Island, build one Burger King and claim that's home? Then they wouldn't have to pay anybody taxes.
I totally get what you're saying but that still doesn't make it right. That's alot of US dollars out of Uncle Sam's pocket.

The big deal is that this country is literally falling apart. Every road. Every bridge. Every power plant and the entire power grid. And why isn't it being replaced, or at least repaired?
Because corporations and the rich are not paying their fucking taxes, and haven't paid them in 33 years. And while they are dodging their own taxes, they are outsourcing all the (formerly) middle class jobs to third world cheap labor shitholes. So the rapidly shrinking middle class isn't large enough to carry the tax burden of the rich & corporate tax dodgers.
And the people working at Burger King. Or Wal Mart. Or Walgreens (since they recently tried to pull a similar scam) don't make enough money to carry the tax burden of the greedy rich fucks.
So should they be allowed to openly commit economic treason? FUCK NO.

Exactly. There shouldn't be any such thing as a "multinational corporation". If a corporation wants to sell their products in another country, they can form a separate corporation in that country and do business there. If Burger King wants to sell burgers in Canada, OK. As long as they have a separate Canadian corporation to do it. If Tim Horton's wants to peddle coffee and donuts in the US, same thing. I'd love to see them put Dunkin Donuts out of business. But enough already with the consolidation, the tax-dodging, and the global predatory capitalist bullshit.
How 'bout you stop complaining and just refrain from eating their garbage ??

How do Canadian personal income tax rates compare to US rates for high income taxpayers? Higher, Lower?
I believe our rates are higher, but I'm not certain. I wonder if our corporate rates will increase once we have a new government? The possibility certainly exists under the liberals or new dem's.
Of course, once you factor in our "free" health care, the higher tax rates may be less than your taxes and insurance premiums combined...

If there's a way, couchfucker will find it.
Is that a brand of beer, or are you asking if I have purchased any newly legal herbal products?
The answer to both is no.... so far, there's only one legal weed shop in town and it's way the Hell on the east end of town, and I don't get out there all that often. Not to mention that it's not actually open very often, due to the short supply. Goddamn, they fucked this rollout up, compared to Colorado.
C'mon dude, get with the times...
Legal!!!
Too bad...
Maybe you should fall for the bullshit and quit...
