Sort of. Owned by Restaurant Brands International (RBI), who also have Burger King and Tim Hortons and are a multinational organization.

I would recommend Pals, Farrow, or Banh Mi Day, but since many of the places like Subway are locally-owned franchises, I wouldn't get too in the weeds about "is it Canadian".

I really should try Banh Mi Day sometime soon. I used to pop into Fantasia Noodle House Express about one a month for their Vietnamese sammiches until the owners retired and were replaced by Banh Mi Day.

I used to live near it in Wihkwentowin (Oliver) and every time I would walk past it, I would say the same thing. I finally tried it right before moving out of that place.

Oh the wasted years - they are fantastic sandwiches.

Now this building deserves the "cactus rat" moniker. I am really looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. I suspect that an otherwise blah building might sparkle a bit.
 
Anyone know the situation of this house? (11204 99 Ave NW, apparently called the Armstrong Residence or the Rankine Hume Residence.) It looks to be in quite bad shape.

New owners as of early 2024 and they are currently seeking to designate it as a Municipal Historic Resource. There is an active rezoning application in place as well to allow for a wider range of uses. With that said, I think this building will get some much-needed love soon.
 
Thank goodness! I see this house almost every day and the state it’s in makes me sad. It’s truly a unique to Edmonton kind of building, one that deserves care and attention. I hope it’s use ends up making it accessible to the public in some way.
