I still don't see how it matters. What does the success of a Canadian donut shop have to do with Canada? I could see if it was a company like Nokia in Finland, providing a ton of jobs etc., but really what does it matter to Canadians whether or not some franchises in NYC are successful and make some guy in NYC another couple million? I can't understand where the logic is on that one.
