    Tim Hortons is not American owned.

    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”.

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

      What makes it not American owned?

          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.

          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.

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