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.

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 weeks ago

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.

Another objectionable company to avoid along the lines of fascist funding is Uline. Uline comes from Uihlein.

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?

[-] Auli@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 weeks ago

Home Depot is an American company.

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca -3 points 4 weeks ago

Agreed, but don’t use false claims to try and discredit it further. It just makes you look weak.

Oh so it's not a new phenomenon. I'm not regular and I hadn't noticed it.

Since the mid-eighties

All good.

It isn’t new for them, but fuck every cent crossing the border anyway.

The leaf has been on McDonald's Canada for as long as I can remember... but I haven't eaten at a Canadian McDonalds this year at all.

[-] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 weeks ago

I really hope McyD’s runs away from Canada and new Canadian fast food joints take over. I do not want McDicks to do what A&W did and create a new company that is some other company separate from the US A&W.

Stopped buying McD’s about 6-7yrs ago. I would eat their breakfast all the time. Then I had to make mine at home for reasons for a bit. Noticed I was hungry about a half hour after I ate McD’s but not when I made brekky at home.
