So canada doesn't own or operate a significant portion of their own mines. Canada's own nickel capital, Sudbury, is basically owned by Vale, a Brazilian mining company.

How the hell does it make sense for canada to mine foriegn nickel in guatemala yet let brazil take a huge chunk of the profits from nickel within our own country? Capitialism and labour exploitation, along with some not to smart sales to foriegn companies I guess.

Tim Horton's is owned by a Brazilian investment firm, if not mistaken.

Partly correct, it's owned by the Canadian-American RBI alongside Burger King and Popeye's, which is 30% owned by 3G Capital, a Brazilian investment firm.
