A Canadian woman’s claims against Tim Hortons have got the Internet talking. A viral X post suggests that the woman was allegedly sacked from the multinational coffeehouse and restaurant chain after she raised her voice against its hiring practices, which she claimed favoured Indians. The incident came to light amid ongoing debates about immigration policies in Canada. According to the post by X handle @Klaus_Arminius, the woman called out the management for hiring only Indian immigrants. "This woman noticed Indian managers of Tim Hortons were hiring only other Indian immigrants; when she confronted the discriminatory hiring, she was fired," said the post. The viral post also has a snapshot of the woman sharing details about the incident. “Just got fired from Tim Hortons after 4 years. Just because I called out management for only hiring “Indians”. So now I’m exposing everything they make us hide,” the text on the snapshot said.

A user wrote, “She should definitely make a complaint, there are laws against 1 hiring only from 1 ethnicity and 2 retaliation against employees. She'll probably win big if she sues them.” Another user commented, “Considering most of the greatest programmers and professors I've met were Indian or from that general area of the world I find this one incredibly difficult to believe.” “That’s called racial discrimination, it’s highly illegal and violates equal employment opportunity laws by favoring one race over another. You should get a good lawyer,” a third user wrote. Last month, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced changes to the country’s international work permit system to curb the number of immigrant workers. In a post on X, Trudeau said Canada would grant 35 per cent fewer international student permits this year, with the number going down by another 10 per cent next year.
