Canadians are always curious about new things that we've heard about on TV for years and now have an opportunity to check out. In most cases, that means a surge at the beginning and then people fall back to their regular patterns. Think Target or Krispy Kreme.
As for Chik-Fil-A, while I haven't checked it out myself yet, it's my understanding that they changed their philanthropic model in 2020 and no longer donate to any groups that take an anti-LGBTQ stance. On the one hand, why support a restaurant that has a history of donating to anti-LGBTQ organizations when there are other food options that don't have that association? On the other hand, if we actively campaign against and punish an organization for past behaviour, even when they have ceased that behaviour, it removes the principle incentive for change.
I'll probably end up trying their sandwich eventually out of curiousity, hopefully when the line ups have ended.
