    Burger King (mods if you consider this politics please delete it, not me :)

    Apparently 3G Capital, which owns 51% of the new firm is the big winner here. They opted for partnership units instead of common shares, which defers U.S. capital gains taxes and avoids Canadian capital gains taxes on share appreciation. If they control the company via a holding company in a...

    Suppressors Flames out the end of my TBAC 30BA???
