It's just flat out weird that Burger King now owns Tim Hortons. Burger King/Timmy Hos combo restaurants better not pop up in #Detroit!Eric Lacy
Some U.S. residents say they will boycott Burger King because it's trying to avoid higher corporate tax rates at home.
Time to no longer eat at Burger King... Especially as the King is running to Canada to avoid US taxes.
