Friendly reminder: Tim Hortons hasn’t been Canadian-owned since 1995
And also Tim Horton died because he was driving dangerously on top of being drunk and high at the time.
This isn’t fair to Canadians who may need those jobs. This isn’t fair to the foreign workers who are often being exploited and may be trapped in that job for life. The only people who benefit are the ones at the top that pay for the wages and benefit from the subsidies.
How are these corporations seriously able to claim they couldn’t find someone local qualified to pour coffee?? It is clear the system is being abused.
Let’s re-write that in truthful language: Tim Hortons franchisees, who are multimillionaires, don’t want to pay people a market wage and is looking to the government the bring in cheap labour to help them get richer.
Amazing to assume that a franchise out in cottage country makes anywhere near the same revenue as one in down town toronto. What would you say is market wage? $20 per hour $25 per hour $35 per hour?
They would if they paid more.
If you aren’t finding employees, offer more money, don’t look abroad for people.
If you need to increase your prices to afford it, then increase your prices
If your restaurant doesn’t survive because people think it’s too expensive, that’s the free market.
You’re spot on. Some businesses need to fail for the system to work properly, but for some reason we don’t seem to want to let that happen.
Shit coffee and an even more shit company. Sells “Canadianess” using cheap foreign labour and takes the profits out of country.
Hmmmmm…
Fuck TIm Hortons.
