3G Capital bought Heinz in 2013 and promptly closed the Heinz ketchup factory in Leamington, Ontario that had operated over 100 years (since 1909). 740 employees and at least 250 local farmers were suddenly out of work.
Now 3G Capital (Warren Buffet/Jorge Lemann) - after the acquisition of Tim Hortons...wants to re-locate their Burger King headquarters in Canada to gain tax breaks.
3G Capital - such a nice Canadian-friendly corporation.
I wonder how many people in Leamington, Ont. will be eating at Burger King anytime soon.
Probably not many.
