Burger King Wants to Buy Tim Hortons and Become Canadian Tax Cheaters

[Nickdfresh]

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...

Asscrackasmr will never have any understanding of political ideologies other than what his corporate talk show masters tell him. Oh, and his lame-ass Google searches.

kristy, do you understand show your tits? really how truly retarded are you? just show us your tits....................

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?

Hopefully not Panda Express. That shit is awful

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.)

[So this is love]

I actually prefer McD's coffee over Tim's...

The donuts WERE good, when they made them fresh in store.

McD`s coffees are the best hot or iced...Tim`s coffees don`t come close and I don`t get why people are lining up for them.

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.

I'm not disagreeing - I'm just saying it's legal - who can fault them. I hope to one day have to hide my wealth..

It hurts me to say this. You're right. They should raise taxes on the rich and make anybody who makes over a certain amount do community service once in a while to keep them from being such assholes.

If there's only going to be one restaurant I'd pick something with a little more variety. Free Hometown Buffet Island.

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.
