From an outside perspective, America is guns, fat people, and car racing. From an outside perspective, Canada is cold, hockey, and Tims. It's not really a choice, its just the way it is.

If by "ours" you mean the shareholders of Tim Horton's, then yes, it's "ours". If you are referring to Canadians then, no, it is not "ours". It's a corporation designed to make money, it's no more "ours" than Rona or any other Canadian company. It's been marketed as some sort of cultural institution, and apparently they got that hook pretty deep into your gills.
