I worked at one.
A&W Canada is a completely separate entity from A&W USA with no legal ties whatsoever.
They do source their ingredients from Canada. Much less processed than McDonalds or Arbys (I've also worked there).
They make the onion rings by hand. They slice the tomato's/lettuce every morning.
Many have 24 hour drive thrus and open late lobbies.
The immigrants working there aren't TFWs (which Canadian taxes pay for), they're good people who sincerely want to be Canadian.
They have frosted mugs instead of ice. Every single ice machine is contaminated with fecal bacteria.
In the hellscape that is late stage capitalism... they're on my shortlist like Costco
Hey coward, I see you mass down voting me.
Sir this is an A&W
Look in the mirror buddy. Just block me if you can't handle reality instead of* having a tantrum.
Uhhh wrong guy?
???
A&W does hire TFW.
Labour Market Impact Assessments:

133/~20,000 employees according to your link and wikipedia.
Compared to Tim Hortons who has >10x the TFW use with about 5x the employees.
...
For me the thing is that A&W has maintained it's quality. While Tim Hortons has gotten worse in every aspect.
I'm not talking to a nasty piece of work like you any further dipshit. You'll stalk me, weirdo.
???
I initially respond in good faith.
You silently decide to harass me in response.
When I call you out, you don't acknowledge it and then try to turn educator as if you're entitled to a good faith back and forth after the fact? If you had a good point I'd never listen to it coming from you now you fucking fool.
Sorry did you want me to block you? Or not? I've moved on.
I changed my mind because it's more fun poking a coward who would surely like to move on now.
