I sure most of you guys have heard the deal with Tim Hortons and there oil field/ pipe line thing. My question is are you guys going to keep drinking it or switch it up?

I think these companies should take this moment to just think about the real problem, and stop blasting us with obnoxious advertising at every goddamn minute of ever day. I never personally seen this one, but I have seen the menu I was trying to read disappear to show me an ad for the fawkin' food I was just trying to give them my money for.

Tim's does a lot for kids with there camps and supports minor hockey in Canada. I think they made a mistake on this. They probably should just stay out of picking any side to begin with. Don't like McDonalds coffee and not going to support the leaf lickers over at Starbucks so I will just stay at Tim's.

used to be a tims guy. Then the girlfriend got me a keurig. I'd have to say its the best thing since sliced bread, it usually brews up a cup before I have breakfast made

I'm guessing tims is against black gold?

Does Tim Hortons really give away their own money to support these or do they just collect money from their clients and redistribute it and look like the hero. Seems like every other day they ask me to donate.

Imagine how cheap everything would be if not for advertising. Companies pay advertising companies billions every year just so you know where you can get the junk you love.

Wifey is a realtor and drinks mcdonalds coffee. I drink Tims cause im addicted to it, or what ever they put in it.

The other day the power was out in half the city, I went to starbucks cause there was only a few people in front of me, I waited fifteen mins and moved two spaces. I drove over the curb to get out of the line up and went without coffee.

I really don't know? Does it matter? Haven't seen anything on Mcdonald's donating back to Canada lately and Starbucks is fighting to get you out of the backcountry so whats the solution? You tell me?

Ever since timy started freezing their donuts and trucking them half way around the globe,I have stayed away....worst fast food in Canada .

What I find hard to understand is about five years ago they baked donuts and only had 1/3 the staff working at the stores. Now it takes twice as long as it used to. the lineups Are so slow moving!
