Tim Hortons is so awful.  No one has even mentioned that yet.

The first time I went to one I was by the time I left I was

Simply merging with TH, if that's all BK was doing, would not be about taxes. But that's not all BK is reportedly going to do. BK is not relocating it's corporate HQ to Canada for the weather. If you actually believe that taxes did not play a role in BK moving to Canada, well, I can't help you.

They have a 33 year old CEO?

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Even neo-soc and mezzanine financier Warren Buffet has admitted the primary purpose for the corporate restructure is taxes. Why are idiots denying this?

If that piece of crap wasn't gorging all the benefits of the restructure and likely diluting shareholders (the common man he supposedly fights to protect, lol what an bad person) in the process, I'd probably buy stock in this venture.
