If they were able to hire that many staff locally, why did the government grant the number of TFW permits they did…?
They’re scared of Dunkin coming back to Canada. They know Dunkin will purposefully only hire locals. They will make Timmys wear the TFW program like a badge of shame.
What they’re saying is they could have done this all along. I’m probably not going to go to Dunkin Donuts either, but I’m glad Tim Hortons is getting nervous.
This should have happened a long time ago. if the guys underwater on their oversized vanity pickup trucks with fuck JT flags had joined the boycott instead of spreading racism against all brown people, we could have gotten this change done a long time ago
Most TFW are hired by non Canadian companies. They are only after the profit. Don’t care about the Canadians. I try my best to avoid companies with mostly TFW.
So:
Tim Hortons PETITIONS the government for more TFW / exemptions, articulating they CAN’T hire locally.
Dunkin’ D’s rolls in?
Suddenly they can hire locally again.
Man. They aren’t even trying to hide it.

I’m so done with that business.
Good riddance.
I worked at Timmies when I was younger and it sucked. We were always busy and made hardly anything. Plus we had to buy our uniforms. It was ok for my 3rd job at the time but was my first choice to quit.
They were literally just lobbying for and defending it late last year.
Though I realize that this is probably to try to make themselves look better as Dunkin looks to roll in. Its amazing what even the threat of competition can do for both employees and consumers.
I always think back to the boom years in Alberta. Tims was paying 2x min wage at the time because anyone with a pulse could get a job for one of the big oil companies making 100K to drive a truck or do labour.
Then covid comes around and we get another “labour shortage” and the government just let’s Tims use a program they previously criticized that he UN compared to slavery.
Doesn’t change anything for me, Tims has this gumption of doing things that literally no one’s asking for. Sometimes their breakfast sandwiches smell putrid, the guy at work get one when we get out trucks, I can smell it through walls sometimes.
Focus on what made Tim’s great.
