Remember when Tim Hortons felt truly Canadian? Fresh donuts baked daily, real coffee, and that neighbourhood aroma. That Tim’s is gone - and many Canadians have had enough.
In this episode of Canada Off Script, Randall Arsenault breaks down the real reasons behind the growing calls to boycott Tim Hortons: the quality drop, the shift to factory-made products, and especially their lobbying for more temporary foreign workers while Canadian youth unemployment sits at 14%.
We talk Grimsby, Ontario, where long-time Canadian staff (some with 10-20 years) faced replacement. We talk ownership (RBI + Brazilian investment), wrong orders on the highway, and the tough conundrum: boycotts can work… but who really gets hurt? The kid at the drive-thru or the executives?
This isn’t blind rage - it’s the uncomfortable kitchen-table conversation about whether Canada still puts Canadians first. Our youth deserve those first jobs. Our communities deserve businesses that invest in us.My take? Targeted pressure + support local. Vote with your wallet, contact your MP about fixing the TFW program, and shift to real Canadian-owned spots.
Remember - Tim Hortons....directly or indirectly...employs a LOT of Canadians.
