Tim Horntons is what may be called a  Canadian Lite company . It may be headquatered in Canada but owned by Burger King who is not Canadian and they are controlled or owned by a Brazilian Investment firm 3G Capital. So going to the States has nothing to do with Canada anymore. The quality of food is non palatable now. Since the take over I have not gone often. Food and coffee is embarrassing

"On August 26, 2014, Burger King agreed to purchase Tim Hortons for US$11.4 billion; the chain became a subsidiary of the Oakville-based holding company Restaurant Brands International on December 15, 2014, which is majority-owned by Brazilian investment firm 3G Capital."
