> Burger King restaurants are independent franchisees but the brand is owned by Restaurant Brands International, based in Ontario, Canada.

While it's true that the headquarters is in Ontario, RBI is majority owned by 3G Capital out of Brazil. They moved the RBI HQ to Ontario ostensibly for tax reasons when they acquired Tim Horton's. Burger King's HQ still appears to be in Miami. So I'm not sure if it's wholly honest to make this seem like a Canadian company doing this, they're just the middle parent of a U.S. HQ > Canada HQ > Brazil HQ ownership chain.
