This is probably just internet nonsense but apparently some people are 'angry' about this takeover:

Something about the company moving its headquarters to Canada to save on taxes.
Yeah I know blame Canada right?

I just heard about this new bbq southwestern ranch donut or some crap.

**CaptainJivePants** · 08-28-2014, 10:11 AM

If it means more Tim Horton's in the U.S., then please let Burger King buy them. Tim Horton's > Dunkin' Donuts, IMO.

**Dudebro** · 08-28-2014, 10:33 AM

I don't know how regional they are but Honeydew Donuts beats Dunkins.

**Kugyince** · 08-28-2014, 12:16 PM

Dunkin' was always a great place for a bagel and coffee.

Not a fan of doughnuts though so maybe their doughnuts are nastier than normal doughnuts.

A major concern of mine is that they will get rid of the women who take pride in what they do, and replace them with a bunch of kids that must have at least some mild retardation. Getting a coffee that you did not order, is one of the most frustrating things in existence, and you normally don't find out till your half way to your next destination.

Canada talking smack

**Dudebro** · 08-29-2014, 08:04 AM

The most aggressive Canadian action since 1812.

Sounds like:

'Part - time position available: customer service/ cashier position at major coffee store chain, no experience necessary.
Only applicants with at least some mild retardation need apply.'

Haha, 4chanada. Love it.

That's pretty crazy about Rob Ford, he's replaced Beiber as our pride and joy y'know.

Serious question for you canadians - how do you about being ruled by the queen of england?

**samejamesbond** · 09-12-2014, 06:43 PM

From what I know a majority still love the queen but a growing number want to break away from it.
Most of the Commonwealth countries are that way.

If I'm not mistaken, more developed countries like Australia want to lose their connection with the queen and gain stronger ties with America while less developed countries like Nauru are staying close for financial aid.

**Dudebro** · 09-12-2014, 06:47 PM

I can understand the smaller countries wanting the protection and benefits of being a protectorate of a world power. I don't get why countries like Canada and Australia would want it, doesn't seem like they'd need it. Besides all that I can't imagine being ok with being ruled by a figurehead monarchy that is centered in a country smaller than most(all?) of their own provinces.

**samejamesbond** · 09-12-2014, 07:08 PM

Canada didn't completely break from the UK until the 1982 constitution.
Quebec hasn't even signed it yet (but they're French, it's expected).

It doesn't surprise they have a majority supporting the queen.
Just give em time and they'll break away.

**Slime Slayer** · 09-12-2014, 07:55 PM

To be honest, I didn't even know we were ruled by the Queen.

**Dudebro** · 09-12-2014, 08:10 PM

Well that's because she's a figurehead. From what I understand she just oks stuff that her representitives bring before her, ceremonial. But she's still considered the monarch of Canada.

**Slime Slayer** · 09-12-2014, 08:48 PM

Okay, well I can't speak for everyone of course, but it's not something that you ever really see mentioned. So I would guess for most Cans it's probably completely off their radar.

What? Really? The majority of Americans hate our leaders and they are elected citizens with power. Maybe that's the difference. If we take away their power we'd probably love them. Now a queen doesn't sound so bad.

The Queen's role in Canada
Looks like a lot of effort spent to do nothing.
