Another ABC issue is the Harper government supporting the lies of the corporate buyouts by telling the Canadian public more lies. Way back in December of 2014, "The conditions around the Burger King takeover of Tim Hortons were driven by public expectations and not necessarily by government, according to Industry Minister James Moore." And here comes the big lie - "On Thursday the federal government approved Burger King's takeover of Tim Hortons, but with conditions intended... to protect jobs and the coffee chain's brand." http://www.cbc.ca/…/tim-hortons-takeover-conditions-demande…
Today January of 2015, the lie is reveal - "Tim Hortons appears to be on the verge of slashing a “significant” number of office employees this week, according to a published report." http://globalnews.ca/…/tim-hortons-nears-layoff-notices-fo…/
"3G comes with a reputation for dramatically slashing budgets and head count at companies it gains control of. About 450 middle managers and higher-ups were fired from Burger King when it was acquired by 3G in 2010. More recently, Heinz has dumped 3,400 positions across the food processing company since being acquired by the New York and Rio-based investment fund in February 2013. A cold rationality at 3G driven by a thirst for bigger profits fed into another controversial decision to close Heinz’s century-old Leamington, Ont. ketchup factory last June."
In August of 2014, i-Politics concluded - "As for the net benefit test, the head office part of the deal is a good fit with the Conservatives’ political narrative of creating a competitive advantage for Canada by being competent stewards of the economy." http://www.ipolitics.ca/…/the-timsbk-deal-all-donut-no-hole/
