So why would BK, a company with worldwide presence, choose Canada for a tax inversion?



What? BK is saying it's not about dodging taxes.
It was/is "about" increasing BK market cap from about $9.5Bn to $18Bn. THAT is what this was "about". Once the merger is designed, implementation strategies are employed. To make a valid point, you'd have to demonstrate fiduciary rationale for headquartering the new company in the US.

Again, what would that rationale be? Self-flagellation?

I already said THAT is what it's "about" (according to Burger King). You use the italicization and quotation marks as if there is something we disagree about -- if you want to try to create some frivolous argument so that you can feel "right," forget about it. The thought of quibbling with you about this to try to get you to acknowledge my actual position seems like a frickING "miserable" way to spend an evening.

No I don't. You're full of shite.

Overall, it seems like a good move from a financial perspective. I never said otherwise. Now, I'd like to see BK fail through consumers making better choices from a health perspective, but that's a different issue.
