Sorry - a bit of a tax rant.
tl;dr - BK is likely making this move solely for tax purposes becuase the US corporate rate is massive.

I am wondering the net benefit in this type of scenario. I understand more government revenue from the company paying tax here, but I don't think many jobs get created. In fact some maybe lost, as really only the Canadian address is being used by a skeleton office crew. They may ship those Canadian jobs to the US where productivity is higher and wages lower.
So even if the rate is lower, is this a true benefit to Canada over all? Maybe to the government, but I wonder as a office worker if this really helps you.
