Ugh seriously? So like where can I go fast food wise that IS Canadian owned? Harvey’s and AnW and Swiss chalet?
I don’t eat a lot of fast food but when I do Tim Hortons has been my go to. I’m not supporting American owned so I guess there goes that.
As for fast food, Harveys is Canadian by my understanding. So is Mary browns (my favourite) which isn't even available in America last time I checked
Tim Hortons isn't American owned, but technically brazillian of you go by the major shareholderof the toronto headquartered company.
Still though, it's heavily degraded over the years and isn't in actuality Canadian owned.
Mary Brown's has good chicken. Big Mary Monday deal used to be good, don't have any around here now.
A&W is awesome. Canadian ones are locally owned by franchisees and it shows in the quality. Antibiotic free run Canadian chicken last I checked. Free run Canadian eggs. Good quality Canadian beef. Canadian vege for the most part I think... All for the same price as the slop served at other fast food joints these days. The coffee isn't my favourite but I know lots of people that like going there for breakfast and don't seem to mind. Usually has a decent sit down atmosphere for breakfast. Lots of them host car meets still in the summer.
I WISH Robin's Donuts was still around. Unfortunately Timmies all but put them out of business before enshittifying. I randomly found one up around Lake Superior a couple years ago in some small town if I remember right. They must have bought out the location and kept it going. They were still baking fresh donuts in house, had the same mugs, same coffee. It was like stepping into a time capsule and made me loathe what capitalism has done to Timmies.
For coffee you are usually best finding whatever local non-chain café you like best and stick with that. If I'm visiting somewhere I'm not familiar with I just search for a non-chain café and get to try some new coffee.
If you really like the chain coffee shop vibe I believe Blenz and Second Cup are both decent Canadian founded and owned still, maybe someone else can confirm, I can't find the details rn
Edit: to add emphasis
Was there a bunch of Winnie the Pooh stuff around? I fell off the (caffeine) wagon at that very location.
You can't just write a line like that and not tell the story. What did Pooh do to you?
White River is a small town on the north shore of Superior. It has a bunch of Pooh kitch as his birthplace (not Winnipeg as one might assume), and a Robin's on the Transcanada.
Hey! I wonder if Robin's is named after Christopher!!
