Tim Hortons has long been considered a Canadian icon, originating in Ontario and evolving into a cultural staple. Following its acquisition by Wendy's and later ownership by Restaurant Brands International, primarily backed by 3G Capital from Brazil, its Canadian identity has come under scrutiny. Recent social media discussions reflect a national debate on what it means for a company to be 'Canadian,' questioning whether it relates to ownership, supply chains, or deeper cultural ties. The conversation continues as Canadians grapple with their identity in a globally influenced market.
"Tim Hortons was founded in 1964 by longtime Toronto Maple Leafs player Tim Horton, symbolizing the blend of sport with national identity."
"A recent social media post from the company declares it to be 'proudly Canadian,' but many comments dispute this, citing ownership changes."
