Fuck these non Canadian (Brazilian)companies who lobbied for slave labour, got it, now pretend to care about Canadians. Never giving them another dollar for as long as I live.

They’re only trying to save their own asses now after Dunkin has come threatening

My local small town Tim Hortons has a sign on the window that reads something like “This franchise is locally owned to serve the people of this community”
And what really stuck out to me was that Tim’s Corporate chose to make one design that they could use for every location instead of actually using the name of the town.
Read between the lines, right?

How will Tim Horton’s franchisees stay in business if they can’t collect $35,000 for LMIA jobs and pay these people $2/hour?

Refurbished espresso machine, $40 drip coffee maker, beans/baked goods at Costco or other grocery store. Easy peasy.
Never understood people lining up for coffee. Timmies is where you beg the DD to stop so you can do a drunk piss at 2am

And all it took was the threat of competition from Dunkin Donuts. Now let’s see how Bell, Telus and Rogers suddenly start caring about Canadians once we let in US competition in the telecom industry.

We should really be advocating for our local coffee shops. The money we spend there supports our local communities and not these shoddy business practices!

They don’t have to be serfs, they can just be high school students and semi-retired old ladies like it was 20 years ago and everything would be fine. The biggest problem is that Tim’s franchisees have been acting unchecked as human trafficking operations for the last 5 years.

Like I said on another Reddit. Every summer students look for hubs to help pay the bills.Fast food places usually were the answer. TWFs flooded the jobs. And ones that did have jobs had their hours cut. Now the non-TFWs will be able to work again

But only 10k ? For a huge conglomerate

I love the argument of “well there aren’t going to be any workers who will be left to serve you coffee”….yet somehow all of the local roasters have no problem staffing their small cafes 🙄

Dunkin comes in and they suddenly want to rebrand from Singh Hortons.
Next up they might even improve the quality of their food lmao
Its crazy that it seemingly took an american competitor to come into the Canadian market to make it so Tim Hortons would hire citizen youth and/or white people again. – Its either that, or because the govt put the brakes on the low wage lmia stream and now the best thing to do is to announce termination of the abuse of that program.
You have people getting their kids rejected from a job being told they’re not hiring then you look online and its a low wage approved LMIA.
Sorry, I think even in a trade war I will entertain Dunkin, because Tim Hortons has been anti-canadian for so long, and I think the only reason this was done was because it became impossible to plausibly deny or take advantage of.

I thought the Beaverton was supposed to be satire?

I’m truly baffled and amazed with how consistently busy Tim Hortons are in downtown Ottawa, especially with all the grumbling about return-to-office and all the jokes/memes about supporting Subway and other places amongst public servants…
