      I’m unsure why you think a publically-traded company can’t still be American-owned.

      And it used to be Canadian-owned. Too bad our governments haven’t taken care of keeping Canadian businesses Canadian.

      You’re assuming that those currently holding the shares will sell. But in all fairness, per Wikipedia, a generous chunk of RBI is held by a Brazilian investment company, and former Tim Hortons shareholders still hold some shares, so somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 American-owned? Which still isn’t great.
