I thought Tim Hortons was some sort of restaurant. Do they run apartment buildings too?

I'm not a leaf, but one on Poal could confirm.

I think what the article is saying is that the owner of a Tim hortons francise is evicting tennants from a current rental unit he owns. So he can move in temporary foreign workers (who work at his tim hortons), seems common that they rent to these TFWs. That way they really have them by the balls. Basically indentured servitude.

I found .

If the law in PEI is clear on this the article does not say so. It seems like the landlord is trying to convince the province that they are converting the property to a new use, so all current leases are invalid. In reality they will still be using it for residences.

I know in other provinces a landlord cannot do what they are trying to do, but it seems like the law in PEI is not clear on this. Maybe they only need their high paid lawyer to convince the province to give them what they want.
