Tim Hortons is a fully owned subsidiary of Restaurant Brands International. Restaurant Brands International is a public company traded on the NYSE and TSE with its headquarters in Toronto. A Brazilian investment company 3G Capital owns 32% of Restaurant Brands International via “3G Restaurant Brands Holdings LP”.
Does that make it a Canadian company? Who the hell knows. It sure doesn’t feel like it, even if it does technically have a Canadian HQ. I guess theoretically it means they pay their corporate tax in Canada. But, realistically, they probably are using various tax dodges to avoid paying much of anything.
IMHO they stopped being Canadian when they switched to hiring the cheapest TFW’s they could, while championing how Canadian they are in all their advertising. Being Canadian is more than having your HQ in Toronto and sticking a maple leaf on everything.
In 2014, Burger King bought Tim Hortons in a merger that formed Restaurant Brands International; a primarily American company, though headquartered in Toronto alongside Tim Hortons (for tax purposes). Both then and now, RBIs primary assets/interests are in America.

Can we please not call Tim Hortons Canadian?

Exactly. Restaurant Brands which owns Burger King, Tim Hortons and Popeyes is a US company. Tim Hortons is garbage anyway.
Their name is ‘restaurant brands’? that’s so blandly corporate evil
It’s actually Brazilian.
Is that why they’re so smooth?
Well if there’s one place you don’t want hair, it’s in your coffee. Hang in there up there we’re rooting for you just south of the border.
According to Wikipedia they’re headquartered in Toronto
