Tim Horton's is also American Owned.
Boycotting American dominance and takeover and Trumps invasion promise, will SHOCK Canadians at how much of their country has been given away nearly free.
Boycott Home Depot. Big time. Owners have funded Trump, Trumpism and the far far right for decades
Home Depot is PART of the INVASION.
Research to deepen the boycotts.

@kevinrns @avidamoeba the Home Hardware World Domination Headquarters is just two blocks from my house, so let me encourage you to switch from the capitalist Home Depot to the Canadian Home Hardware.
Home Hardware has mostly left my area. Thankfully, there’s Rona and a local Tim-Br-Mart that is mostly locally owned and operated, so that’s where I get most stuff.
Timmies is international now, and their HQ is in Canada.

While RBI is headquartered in Toronto, Canada, and pays corporate taxes there, it's often mistakenly perceived as a Canadian company, largely due to the presence of Tim Hortons
But it's not headquartered in Canada. The Tim Horton's office is ... but BK, Popeyes and Firehouse Subs are headquartered in the US.
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?
It’s publicly traded, why don’t you pony up and make it 100% Canadian?
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.
Home Depot is an American company.
Agreed, but don’t use false claims to try and discredit it further. It just makes you look weak.
