Tim Hortons

Tim Hortons, Canada's iconic coffee and doughnut chain, is reportedly losing customers at home, and retailers and competitors are watching closely. The decline is being linked to complaints over quality, prices and corporate decisions that have eroded the brand's loyal following. Analysts say the shift could reshape the Canadian fast-food market as rivals move in on abandoned customers.

A Tim Hortons franchisee in Eastern Ontario has drawn criticism after it was reported that more than half of its employees were hired through Temporary Foreign Worker programs. Critics argue the case illustrates a broader problem with late stage capitalism: businesses paying workers below a living wage while using bankruptcy courts to erase their debts, rather than offering fair remuneration.
