Burger King says it struck a deal to buy Tim Hortons Inc. for about $11 billion, a move that creates the world’s third-largest fast-food company and could accelerate the international expansion of the Canadian coffee and doughnut chain.
The corporate headquarters of the new company will be in Canada. The two brands will continue to be run as stand-alone chains, with Burger King still operating out of Miami.
Some analysts have suggested that Canada’s lower tax rates stand to benefit Burger King over time. But Burger King said that’s the not main motivation for the deal.

Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, is calling for a boycott of Burger King.... Brown called for a creation of a global minimum tax rate.
“We need an immediate fix to forestall a flood of these dangerous inversions and a long term solution that lowers corporate tax rates while instituting a country-by-country global minimum tax,” Brown added.

Too late. I’m already boycotting since they Homo’d the Whopper.
Wonder why Brown hasn't thought of doing something like that to the States? Thinking bigger I guess.
Corporations do not pay tax, they collect tax from their customers and render it unto the government.
Precisely.
Anyone who eats where a U.S. Senator tells him to deserves whatever happens to him.
