Burger Kings' parent company says 800 restaurants in Russia remain open because they're independently owned franchise businesses. But the explanation still doesn't sit well with Canadians.

 

Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar.Ihr Kommentar wird nach Prüfung veröffentlicht.

Canadians should Boycott all Berger King Restaurant’s in Canada. Support our Ukrainian Friends.

Those businesses closed will never reopen as Putin will cease their assets

Burger King isn't virtue signaling, I'm gonna virtue signal my outrage by not eating at Burger King!

I didn’t know Canada owned Burger King.

Cut their supplies off,they will close quick enough.

Burger King is gross! Haven’t had Burger King for at least 20 years!

Individuals have no say in war decisions, plus no such clauses in agreement exist to take to courts for damages!

I'm fine with it. The hypocrisy or ignorance of people punishing Russian citizens for their governments actions need to look in the mirror. If you want to help Ukrainians go to your government and demand PEACE.

Burger King is American, anyway. How does that have anything to do with Canadians anymore then any other American company making a choice like that? In fact, Burger King bought TimHortons long ago! How many Canadians still don't realize that? Lol Tim Hortons is American! Haha!

Simple , no matter where in the world you are boycott Burger King, the only thing that will affect them is empty tills

Does not matter. People will stop going to Burger King all over the world

doesn't sit well with 'some' Canadians. this is getting ridiculous...

Boycott Burger King!

No more burger King for me.

Where does their product come from?

Canadians don't care that burgers are being sold in Russia.

This does not bother me in anyway shape or form and I am a Canadian I think it’s disgusting what the rest of the world is doing to Russia as a country

So independ franchise should be supplying their own take of burger King then and not supply them anything fries burger paddies etc... or simple cancel the franchise they can no longer use the name...

THANK YOU BURGER KING FOR MAKING THAT DECISION .........I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT IN YOUR RESTAURANTS EVER AGAIN.

But, burger King is still supplying them!! Guess no more burger King in this house, they had a choice to do the right thing.

Who cares if it doesn’t sits well with Canadians. The world doesn’t revolve around us.

Maybe they can’t force them to close, but they sure can cut off their supply of ingredients to them. They do control that.

Didn’t think Burger King was still in business…

Just remember these guys own Tim's. McDonalds makes a better coffee anyway!

WESTERN HYPOCRISY AT LARGE thanks to Lord Putin that he exposed all Western HYPOCRITE leaders and Media

The stupidity of these comments is irritating! Why should they shut down? The people there are suffering their governments actions, they can’t control Putins insanity. Who cares if it’s Burger King or any other business, why should innocent business owners suffer for their govt

Stop supplying them then see if they can run a business

Boycott

Civilians not allowed to eat

I feel badly for the Russian people. Putin is lying his face off to them. And then probably people they know who have relatives is Ukraine have told them what's really happening. Everything is closing on them. Sad😢

Should call them Burger Czar

The world needs a leader…The difference between leadership and management, on 8 minutes! Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Alex Jadad, physician, epidemiologist

BoycottBurgerKing burgerking

Let them hail the King. They live under a despot.

People work in these places, families to support... I still don't understand punishing average citizens to death cas of dictator leaders..

Well those canadians shouldn't be so arrogant to speak on other people business

Well it’s an American company so basically mind your own business.

Boycott these fools

Burger king in my city has sexual predators working, staff who have sexually assaulted fellow staff and the company keeps them on. Nothing surprises me with them.

So was McDonald’s

Garbage food anyways. Good riddance.

Boycotting

Another way the West punishes Russia, leaving Burger King open.

Canadians don't give a f*ck about this tbh. Inflation is a bigger problem rn.

Aren't McDonald's, Starbucks etc the same, that they are franchise owned?

Money is money

Fuckin stop its not the russsian people

McDonald’s are franchise owned as well. So,….

Doesn’t sit well with some Canadians… don’t count me in … Some Canadians think they are to good for the rest of humanity.

Their food is crap not hard to boycott them lol 💩

Pull their franchise

They better not be providing support to the businesses such as providing supplies and food to those franchises in Russia. Including software, marketing, etc. Companies need to squeeze the Russian population so they set their sights on Putin.

Bullshit excuse from a bullshit company

Yeah let’s keep punishing the Russian people for the actions of their crazy dictator leader. Perhaps Canadians should re-think their morals rather than just putting “we stand with Ukrainian” in their windows but actually doing nothing to stand with Ukraine.

Burger King owns Timmies don't they? Shame lol

Totally unacceptable reason for not finding a way to shut down in Russia!! Accept the consequences!!

Who gives a damn what some Canadians want. BK has the right to do business wherever and with whoever they want. We are falling head over heels, outdoing each other with ineffective sanctions. Stop pretending that we are righteous.

STEPHEN HARPER WAS PRIME MINISTER WHEN THE BRAZILIAN COMPANY TAKE OVER CANADA TIM HORTONS. SINCE THEN STEPHEN HARPER TRYING TO DESTROY THE SAID COMPANY WHO OWN THESE ENTITIES.

STOP going to Burger King

Would they prefer fast food workers to be jobless ? Fuck outta here with this bullshit

Won’t be going back to Burger King any time soon. Hello McDonalds

Just had some Burger King, it's food people not an arms dealer get over it, I also love me some Middle Eastern food does that mean I'm supporting ISIS? For f*cks sake people Pho soups dont equal Vietcong Taco's don't support the Mexican cartels use your common sense. Canada

I will not eat at Burger King again as long as they operate in Russia!!!

Could they instead take 100% of the profits from those stores and donate it to Ukraine? Is that a thing they could do?

Like at all!

Who gives a s….f what they said really….!

BK’s parent company could cancel their franchise licenses. Also the parent company dictates the supply chain for everything from the burger Pattie’s to the hand soap in the bathrooms. boycottBurgerKing

No more Burger King for our families . They can stick the franchise in their

BoycottBurgerKing

I will NEVER eat at that place again. I can’t even say the name.

Hmmmm…have not been to Burger King in decades! TimHortons however I do go to regularly……but now I will NOT UNTIL their parent co pulls the plug on Burger King in Russia. Did the same to Coke until they reversed course.

who cares?

Not that I ever do, but boycotting, big time....

I don’t give a fuck. Russians are allowed to eat! Jesus.

Journalist speaking ai Yale

boycott!

CBC is a much worse source of propaganda than RT. Non stop bombarding with any sort of minuscule and ridiculous comment to bash Russia and the Russian people. CBC is a joke!!!

Why are we trying to target the well being of actual Russian citizens? I dont think trying to shut down civilian-run businesses (I.e. franchises) is going to get the population to revolt any time soon.

No matter what BurgerKing says, the optics are not good. BoycottBurgerKing SanctionRussiaNow

Boycott Burger King boycottburgerking

All these companies have blood on their hands.

“and we want to keep those franchise fees coming in”

And this is ground breaking news? Who cares?

BurgerKing has abdicated its human responsibility. It is now BurgerSerf.

Makes sense. Let's ban Russians from everything and allow hate speech and death threats towards them, but ignore all the atrocities of the biggest terrorist state in the world. 🤷‍♂️

What a load of BS it’s RBI and they’re Miami office calls all the shots, they are also TimHortons and Popeyes corporate owners and only care about profit.

An independently owned francize is required to buy supplies from the company and pays a fee. So this is BS. They are continuing their business. They are entitled to do whatever they want, but I'm kind of regretting I had a Whopper for lunch today.

Shame

Stop this war! This is barbaric 😢🌻🩸

BurgerKing pull out of Russia or we ain't eating there ever again. They're killing women and children, independent franchise or not. Choice is yours until then I'm done.

Was a regular customer.... no longer will I ever show my face in this cowardice establishment... BK... you should be ashamed of yourself.

Boycott Burger King

How do you say whopper in Russian...

It’s Burger King…not Burger President… the King can do as he pleases..

Stop supplying them. Simple really.

Well, apparently the Russian Burger King is actually a former KGB agent.

Shameful!

I assume they don't make their own hamburgers and cut their own fries...? Cut them off!
