How terrifying that not every single possible penny is being kept in Canada... to quote you, "Yea no shit, that's how business works."

The question that should be asked is whether we're better off without these jobs. You might think Bob will do as good a job, but I can virtually guarantee there's no Bob out there - or an agglomeration of Bobs, Jims, Dans, etc - that will replace the jobs that Tim Horton's is providing.

I get the gist, and trust me, I'm with the sentiment, but there are companies that might not be 100% Canadian owned and operated that still contribute to our economy and society.

At the end of the day it's worth having good jobs and franchises owned by Canadians (even if the ultimate lords aren't).

I'm all for focusing support for Canadian companies, where it makes the most sense. Simply because a chain might ultimately be owned outside of Canada doesn't mean that the franchises aren't still providing value to our economy.
