You’re assuming that those currently holding the shares will sell. But in all fairness, per Wikipedia, a generous chunk of RBI is held by a Brazilian investment company, and former Tim Hortons shareholders still hold some shares, so somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 American-owned? Which still isn’t great.
Tim Hortons is owned by Restaurant Brands International, which is itself majority owned by American private equity.
What makes it not American owned?
It’s publicly traded, why don’t you pony up and make it 100% Canadian?
I’m unsure why you think a publically-traded company can’t still be American-owned.
And it used to be Canadian-owned. Too bad our governments haven’t taken care of keeping Canadian businesses Canadian.
