I'm aware that they are the same parent company. However, in the US they split the brand east to west so I could see them doing the same thing in Canada. As well, considering Harvey's successfully filed an injunction to stop them from using the name Hardee's in Canada I can imagine that they'd want to raise a symbolic middle finger to them.

Due to a trademark dispute with Canada's Harvey's burger chain, the Hardee's name cannot be used in that country. Instead, CKE Restaurants has opened stores there under the Carl's Jr. name.
