That's true. Toronto is a lot like Chicago, where we have the infrastructure and the money to be great, but there just isn't that same drive that SF and NYC have.

One thing to note is that I think the parent company for Tim Horton's is now based in Toronto, albeit majority owned by a Brazilian company.

Just checked. Restaurant Brands International which also owns Popeyes, Burger King. Is majority owned by 3g capital (the brazilian company at ~30%). Famous activist investor Bill Ackmans fund owns a smaller chunk!
