Help Madison Stand Up to Tim Hortons!

Madison is a 22-year-old disabled Canadian from Havelock, Ontario. For nearly a year, she says she endured humiliating, abusive, and unacceptable treatment while working at a local Tim Hortons.

According to Madison, supervisors and managers yelled at her in front of customers and co-workers, denied her bathroom access even when she urgently needed it, refused to let her go home after she leaked through her clothing while menstruating, and even physically assaulted her by punching her in the arm multiple times "out of rage."

Madison had disclosed her disability. She says she cannot easily multitask and needed basic understanding and accommodation. Instead, she says she was mocked, pressured, and treated as disposable.

When Madison began telling the truth about what she says happened, she feared losing her job. After speaking out, she says management questioned her and told her not to speak to the press because they did not want to deal with the attention.

No young woman should be punched, humiliated, denied bathroom access, or silenced for speaking honestly about workplace abuse.

This campaign exists to help Madison directly. Funds raised will help Madison replace any income she may lose after coming forward, cover urgent living expenses, and provide support as she looks for safe employment where she will be treated with dignity and respect. If the situation escalates, we also want Madison to have access to legal support at no cost to her.

Madison came forward not only for herself, but because she hopes her story will help others speak up too.

"I'm hoping to help others speak up," Madison said. "Maybe with me speaking, maybe then they'll be like, 'This happened to me too,' and maybe it will help other people get out of the bad situation they are in."

Here is how Rebel News is helping — and how you can too:

1. Help Madison — Give what you can directly to Madison through GiveSendGo. Your support will show her that she is not alone, that whistleblowers deserve protection, and that vulnerable workers deserve dignity.

They told the government they can’t find workers — but Canadian kids can’t find jobs!

In a lobbying letter to Immigration Minister Marc Miller, Tim Hortons admitted its business would “struggle immensely” without international workers, while pushing to raise foreign worker caps, expand international student work hours, and create a permanent pipeline of labour — all for the very entry-level jobs that once helped young Canadians build skills, earn their first paycheque, and start their futures.

At a time when youth unemployment is rising and opportunities are shrinking, Tim Hortons is replacing local workers and lowering their standards.

If a company won’t hire Canadians and instead lobbies to replace them, Canadians can and must respond.

SIGN THE PLEDGE:

"I pledge to boycott Tim Hortons — no coffee, no breakfast — until Tim Hortons commits to hiring Canadians and investing in our next generation."

Will you sign?

If you are an employer in the Havelock area who can offer Madison a safe, respectful job opportunity, please reach out to [email protected].

Thank you for standing with Madison.

    THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR COUNTRY IMPORTS MASS MIGRANTS FROM NON-CHRISTIAN/WESTERN COUNTRIES! I can assume “Stefan” & the supervisor are from non-Christian culture nations. Christianity teaches respect, the Golden Rule – do unto others as you would wish to be done to you; also you reap what you sow; masters, treat your workers with respect; all humans are made in God’s imagine, treat with respect; etc. etc.
    That is NOT the case in the countries & cultures of origins with all Canada’s imported peoples of the past 20 years.
    Then, Tim Hortons are hiring foreign import workers over white Canadians, also they can be abusive, or subject to abuse, as in home countries, & afraid to do anything. BAD PRACTICES ALL AROUND!
    Christianity is being PURGED from western nations, because of the spiritual war between God & the satanic realm. Those who follow the true God & His ways are being persecuted, just as Jesus told us would happen! Our political leaders, whether in Canada, Europe, or the left in the USA are in league with the forces of evil, and hate Christians & Jews.
