3. Couldn't have said it better myself!

I especially love the part about:

“Tim Hortons was the first to realize that Canada’s inherent lack of a shared definition of national identity allowed room for a business that is wholly uninterested in anything other than making money"

It sort of reminded me of the "Royal Family"s Visit" to this country. I think it speaks for itself, when Tax Payer Money is spent on promoting the "Royal Circus" in our towns and cities in order to safe our so-called National Identity.

What National Identity?

Really?

The last time I check, I didn't like what I found!

Personally, I don't like Timmy's coffee!

As a matter of fact, I am totally dumbfounded by the long line-ups seen in the drive-through lanes,

Perhaps, the rumours about Timmy's Very Very Hot Chicken Soup are true?

Regardless, I think what made Tim Hortons, such a successful enterprise may have something more to do with the fact that its workforce is made up of dead-end minimum wage jobs.


But, that's just me!!!

Thanks for posting!

I can now celebrate 50 years of disillusion and a serious Caffeine addiction.
