Tim Hortons is on this list but is majority owned by Americans (Burger King, specifically IIRC).
It’s owned by Restaurant Brands International which is headquartered in Toronto, but listed in both Toronto and New York stock exchange. The majority owned is 3G capital, a Brazilian firm.
That info is outdated actually, 3G sold their shares in 2019 apparently, now the biggest shareholders group are american

I’d like to add that Odd Burger, the vegan fast-food chain, is also Canadian!
Today I learned Panago Pizza is British Columbian!
This is cool and informative, but I’ll be using this more like as a tool to avoid chains than anything else lol. Well, except Cora.
If you’re on the hunt for a Pizza chain in Vancouver, Captains Oven is a small chain (4 units?) that I enjoy.
Me n Eds is one of my favs, they have 5 locations in the lml.
Man I miss swiss chalet and Harvey’s. They’ve pulled out of BC
