Kelowna Tim Hortons posts Rebel News ban on its front door — here's what customers said
Tim Hortons has spent weeks trying to silence Rebel News with trespass orders and legal threats, but each failed attempt has only revealed more about the so-called "Canadian" coffee chain's foreign hiring policies.
A tipster recently reached out to let me know that a particularly thin-skinned Tim Hortons location in West Kelowna has taken things to a whole new level, posting a trespass notice aimed at Rebel News right on its front door for every customer to see.
Apparently, management thought that publicly announcing Rebel News was unwelcome would somehow stop us from reporting on the chain's continued reliance on Temporary Foreign Workers at a time when many Canadians are struggling to find work.
So I made my way to that location to ask passersby the important question Tim Hortons despises: Is it time for Tim Hortons to abandon its foreign-worker-first agenda and start putting Canadians first?
The responses were revealing.
I spoke with an 18-year-old who told me he'd been looking for work, including at Tim Hortons, for three months without success.
I also heard from residents who had already noticed the anti-Rebel News sign for themselves and disapproved.
In contrast, one passerby defended the current system, arguing that "us Punjabis" deserve the jobs and adding that "the natives were here first."
I tried to tell him that Canada's foreign worker program doesn’t incentivize hiring Indigenous Canadians either, but he drove off in a hurry.
Despite Tim Hortons' efforts to shut down scrutiny, Canadians are still willing to talk about the issue. And Rebel News will continue asking the question the coffee giant seems determined to avoid.
REPORT by @DreaHumphrey:
Both CARNEY and President Trump held a press conference today at the conclusion of the G7
One was 19 minutes in a grassy patch 😅 the other was over an hour in a filled & engaged room
Are they purposely trying to make Canada look weak and small. This is embarrassing
Unelected First Nation Chiefs who demand co-governance with governments in Canada should face full disclosure audits of how they spend taxpayer money.
Why would anyone be against this?
Thursday!
Why stay in Ottawa when you just jetted there from France-Ireland-Geneva-France-Geneva-Ottawa??
Recession King Carnage will jet to Vancouver!
To make an announcement and to watch a soccer game!
One Hell of a scam he's got going!
🔥 LMAO! President Trump: "We have Space Force cameras on every single door [in Iran]..."
"If somebody walks in and he's got a badge with his name on it, like 'Mohammed Something'—which is about a 50/50 guess—Mohammed Something." 🤣
"They can tell the name! They can give you a serial number. We can see things you wouldn't believe with the quality of the stuff we have."
BREAKING: All five floor crossers, Chris d'Entremont, Michael Ma, Matt Jeneroux, Lori Idlout, and Marilyn Gladu, voted AGAINST killing Bill C-9 and voted to approve the Senate amendments, sending the bill to Royal Assent.
A shameful disgrace.
BREAKING
The Liberal Chair of the health committee, Sukh Dhaliwal, just cancelled our last scheduled health committee meeting before summer.
In all my years as an MP, I have never seen committee powers abused like this for months to block accountability.
Yesterday, he suspended the meeting while the cameras were turned off, blocking emergency committee meetings from being held in public over the summer.
Now, he has cancelled the next meeting entirely to silence the opposition.
The Chair is supposed to be impartial.
He is not supposed to use his power to shut down committee work, silence MPs, and protect the Health Minister from accountability.
Canadians deserve to know why $300 MILLION was spent on the failed PrescribeIT program and where the money went.
Conservatives were committed to working through the summer to get answers, but the Liberals are shutting the committee down.
Call them and ask why they are abusing their power to block an investigation into PrescribeIT.

This is a terrible day for democracy.
🦅👮🌹🗳️ : Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tars and feathers First Nation Chiefs for undemocratically demanding an investigation into possible treason, by Danielle Smith.
🗳️ The accusation is, Danielle Smith allowing a non binding referendum, on the possibility of a future referendum on Alberta separation, constitutes an act of treason.
⚜️ I wonder why no one ever accuses the Bloc Quebecois of treason? They actually call for Quebec to leave Canada, all the time.

🌹👎🦅🚨 : A visibly upset Alberta Premier, Danielle Smith, makes it abundantly clear, the relationship between her government and First Nations will sour, if they continue to accuse her of treason.
🇺🇸 U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Mullin told Canada’s Safety Minister to his face:
🚨 “We’ve arrested 78 different nationalities crossing your border.”
🚨 “We arrest a terrorist almost every week.”
🚨 “Enough drugs to kill 17 million Americans.”
This wasn’t a diplomatic cable.
This wasn’t a classified briefing.
This was face to face. On record.
Canada’s border is not a sovereignty issue.
It’s a security catastrophe.
And our Safety Minister needed an American to tell him. 🇨🇦

🚨TRUMP TORCHES KEIR STARMER AGAIN: “I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT!” 😳
In yet another brutal public dressing-down at the G7, President Donald Trump has ripped into UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for abandoning Britain during the Iran War.
A clearly disappointed Trump revealed exactly what he told the PM: “It would be nice if you send ships.”
Starmer’s reply? “They’ll be there as soon as the war is over.”
Trump’s stunned response: “I said, ‘Did he just say that?’ I couldn’t believe it actually.”
Starmer is being humiliated on a daily basis. Trump publicly tearing into him at the G7 is yet another embarrassing humiliation for our woefully weak leader.
