What to know why so many places in Canada are using Temporary Foreign Workers? It has to do with the changes the Trudeau Government did over the years to the International Mobility Program IMP. This is why places like Tim Hortons, Walmart, and many other companies are no longer... show more

Tim Hortons loves to wrap itself in the Canadian flag, but why won't they hire Canadians?🍁 Rebel News visits a Tim Hortons location and the company's corporate headquarters in Toronto in an effort to get answers to why this supposedly proud Canadian company is hiring temporary foreign workers instead of Canadians. Canadian companies hiring temporary foreign workers is out of control. The summer job is merely a memory, part-time jobs for students are vanishing. And meanwhile, the unemployment rate is a shocking 7.1%. So why are so many companies — profitable companies with revenues in the billions of dollars — hiring temporary foreign workers? Well, it’s strictly business, baby. Companies can pay temporary foreign workers less money. And these people are far more “compliant” than “domestics” given the prospect of losing one’s job likely means a trip back home. Meanwhile, temporary foreign workers see this opportunity as a means to become permanent residents and eventually full-fledged citizens. It might be win-win for corporations and temporary foreign workers. But it is a losing proposition for taxpaying Canadian citizens who want to work. People are not amused. A recent Abacus Data poll indicates that 44% of Canadians want to see the temporary foreign worker program scrapped given the high unemployment rate — especially among young people. And even though Canada’s biggest foodservice company is Tim Hortons — a company that loves to wrap itself in the Canadian flag — Timmy’s (which is now owned by multinational corporation Restaurant Brands International) is actively seeking temporary foreign workers rather than Canadians. Every penny counts, it would seem. Shameful. We recently visited a Tim Hortons at the corner of Lawrence Avenue and Yonge Street in north Toronto. According to the federal government’s job bank, this franchise is taking advantage of the temporary foreign workers program. One ad posted in July of this year indicated it was seeking to hire someone at a rate of $36/hour. Apparently, this store could not find a Canadian willing to work for $36/hour and therefore needed a temporary foreign worker for the position. Does anyone believe that? If you do, then we have some beachfront property for sale in Saskatchewan… The manager at this store was very evasive when we asked questions. We left our contact information hoping to speak to the franchise owner, but at time of writing, never heard back. It also appeared that the lion’s share of the staff at this Tim Hortons restaurant was from the Philippines. Our next stop was the palatial head office of Tim Hortons in downtown Toronto. Even though this company has an entire media relations team, nobody would receive us. Cowards. Are you disgusted with major companies gaming the system is such a fashion? Then kindly sign our petition at Tim Hortons may be making money hand over fist (RBI’s revenue jumped 5.4% in 2024 compared to the previous year). But it clearly has a public relations problem given its strategy of shunning Canadians. After all, when a growing number of Canadians now refer to this chain as “Singh Hortons” rather than “Tim Hortons”, that’s a problem. Meanwhile, the NHL legend the chain is named for must be rolling in his grave…

Tim Hortons wants you to believe that they are cutting back on hiring foreign workers. That's false. Right now, there are at least 82 LMIA-requested jobs for temporary foreign workers at Tim Hortons locations across the country listed on the Government of Canada website. We have the proof.

93 Tim Hortons locations are still hiring foreign workers right now! Tim Hortons lied to you. A couple of days ago, every regime media outlet in the country ran the same cheerful story: Tim Hortons, long notorious for importing cheap foreign labour, was turning over a new leaf. They were going to hire 10,000 “locals.” What a turnaround. What a company. Pass the double-double! I didn't buy it. So I went to the government's own temporary foreign worker website and did a quick search. I was shocked to find 93 Tim Hortons locations are actively advertising for temporary foreign workers. Literally at the same time their spin doctors are claiming they’re hiring Canadians. So I printed out the job postings, fired up our billboard truck, and headed to one of the foreign-staffed Tim Hortons to ask for the manager. The Tim Hortons I went to was offering $36 an hour for a restaurant manager. Their government of Canada job listing claimed that no Canadian would do the job. The Tim Hortons executive in the store told me he'd “never seen” the foreign worker ads before. Really? They're on the government TFW website. Anyone can look them up. I showed it to him live, on camera. He should tell that to the father I met outside, whose 21-year-old son can't find work. I spent nearly an hour out front talking to passersby. Not one person — not a single one — said Tim Hortons should keep hiring foreign workers over Canadians. And many of the people I spoke with were immigrants themselves. It's only Tim Hortons that disagrees. (Tim Hortons, by the way, is not even a Canadian company anymore. It's owned by a Brazilian hedge fund called 3G Capital.) Tim Hortons is lying about quitting cheap foreign labour. So we're going to drive that truck to the other locations still hiring foreign workers. It’s bad enough that they’re hiring foreigners instead of locals. It’s worse that they’re lying about it! I've been doing this long enough to know that corporations only change behaviour when they feel it in the till. REPORT by Ezra Levant 🍁🚛:

BREAKING: nearly 96% of all MAiD recipients are white. This is extremely concerning, especially considering the fact that white people do not represent 96% of the Canadian population. So the question is: why? Why are so many white people choosing MAiD? Why is this major racial disparity not being studied further by the government? Why is the use of MAiD SIGNIFICANTLY over represented by caucasians? If it were any other race, say First Nations, it would be international headlines. Tens of billions would be spent addressing this. This is the problem with concepts like DEI. It changes the conversation to "only minorities matter and take priority". This is insane.

When asked about hiring Temporary Foreign Workers for jobs that are highly sought after, the CBC CEO said "I don't exactly see the issue that you have with this process, but maybe I'm not familiar enough" Amid rising unemployment in Canada, the CBC was caught hiring temporary foreign workers to fill jobs. We asked the CEO why: -She didn't know what we were talking about. -She didn't see the issue with it. -She wouldn't commit to ending the practice. Canadians deserve better.

Tim Hortons says it's putting Canadians first — but is it really? With Tim Hortons saying it vows to hire more “local” staff, Rebel News investigated a Montreal location that was listed on a government job portal for businesses seeking to hire temporary foreign workers. Tim Hortons recently announced plans to hire up to 10,000 local employees and reduce its reliance on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. However, a closer look at publicly available government data raises questions about whether that shift is already taking place. Several Tim Hortons locations continue to appear on the federal government's temporary foreign worker job portal, actively advertising positions for foreign workers. This comes at a time when Canada's unemployment rate has climbed to 6.9%, while youth unemployment is hovering around 14%. The issue raises broader questions about priorities in the Canadian labour market. With more Canadians struggling to find work and economic uncertainty looming, some are asking whether available jobs should be offered to Canadian workers first. During a visit to a Tim Hortons location in downtown Montreal, multiple job openings were found being advertised, including positions offering wages of up to $39 per hour. Another detail that stood out was that some of the postings appeared to be open to applicants who speak only English, rather than requiring French or bilingualism. That has sparked questions about language requirements in Quebec, where French is the official language. The situation comes as Tim Hortons faces growing scrutiny over its use of temporary foreign workers and its role in providing entry-level employment opportunities. For many Canadians, particularly young people, jobs at restaurants and coffee shops often serve as a first step into the workforce, providing valuable experience and skills. As debates continue over immigration levels, Canadians are left to decide whether Tim Hortons is living up to its promise of putting local workers first. Rebel News

Tim Hortons claims to prioritize hiring Canadians but job postings tell a different story Tim Hortons has positioned itself as a Canadian icon, wrapping itself in the flag while simultaneously lobbying the government to expand and entrench the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program. Lately, it seems Tim Hortons has been feeling the fall out of their deteriorating brand. As Dunkin’ Donuts announces its expansion into Canada, the once Canadian staple now claims it will commit to hiring local — whatever that means. However, their active job listings on the government of Canada’s Job Bank tell a difference story. Tim Hortons currently has roughly 800 active postings recruiting temporary foreign workers across the country, including management roles paying up to $36 per hour. One such posting for the rural, southeastern Ontario Havelock location was removed only recently. As Rebel News continues to expose Tim Hortons’ heavy reliance on the TFW program — which is nothing against the workers themselves who are simply navigating a system ripe for exploitation — this has triggered tough questions about corporate priorities while Canadian youth struggle with a growing jobs crisis. One in five young Canadians report being unable to find an entry-level job, and positions such as a counter worker at Tim Hortons used to give those entry-level opportunities to youth. Instead, many locations now appear dominated by temporary, foreign staff. Street interviews at the Tim Hortons location in Havelock revealed strong public sentiment toward hiring Canadians first. “I think it’s terrible,” said one patron, on the influx of foreign labour. “We’ve got to stay true to our core as well. When we lose the balance, we fail as a humanity.” Another local resident observed: “I just know that these are the type of positions that kids can start off working… I go to my local Tim Hortons, I don’t see that population being represented.” Several interviewees admitted they now avoid the chain when possible, citing a feeling that it has become “foreign” to them and lamenting the lack of alternatives in rural areas with drive-thrus. One current employee confirmed the skewed staffing reality, noting scheduling practices that place more English-speaking staff during the busy morning rush, with TFWs often assigned to later shifts. Tim Hortons has responded to this scrutiny not with greater transparency, but by trespassing Rebel News journalists, including Ezra Levant and David Menzies, across multiple locations. During this Havelock report, Ontario Provincial Police were dispatched after store owners complained that two female journalists were speaking to customers. This is another perfect example of how Tim Hortons locations are abusing resources, especially in a small community without it’s own police force. Canadians already pour hundreds of millions of dollars into the TFW program every year, and now they’re forced to foot the bill for police to handle fallout from critical media coverage too. As Canada enters a ‘technical’ recession and youth unemployment is rising, the core issue remains pretty straightforward: entry-level service jobs that once built work experience for Canadian teens and young adults are now being sidelined by a federal program meant for genuine labour shortages. “Put Canadians first,” was the repeated message from the sidewalk. “Hire Canadians before foreign workers. I don’t have anything against people coming to our country… but it also shouldn’t be on the backs of Canadians. And especially Canadian youth.” Tim Hortons’ actions continue to test whether a national brand still believes its future lies with the communities it serves or with cheaper, temporary labour that undercuts them. The public is watching. REPORT by Tamara Ugolini 🇨🇦:
