By the way, these expansions don't always go well. In Brazil, for instance, one of the world's foremost coffee countries, Starbucks has shutdown most of their stores and just like McD or Burger King. The Brazilian culture couldn't accept them taking their local coffee spots away. It works both ways.

I can understand that, I think it's sometimes a bit overboard seeing as these are big corporations owned and operated by people from all over the world, but I get the idea. The Tim's doesn't matter much to me, but the fact that poutine has become popular in NYC has made me incredibly happy.
