Damn, gonna have to give up my iced capp addiction 😔
(Besides, Tims hasn’t been Canadian for a while anyway)
Been avoiding them for more than a decade. Can’t avoid them harder. :| Sadly individual action is rarely effective against large corpos and they persevere. Still we do what we can.

Unless thousands of people happen to take that individual action.
Yes, that’s the best case scenario. In that case large firms tend to adapt with as little cost as possible to “comply.” Collective action in their workforce as well as organized campaign to curb their TFW access is what they’re really afraid of. Cause that tends to hit their bottom line hard.
Again, not saying we shouldn’t take individual action when possible, just that it’s not enough to enact the structural changes needed to put large firms in their place.
Tim Hortons is un-Canadian.
They’re not Canadian-owned. All they’ve done is become the most common drive-thru coffee chain, while wrapping up the Canadian identity and trying to sell it back to Canadians.
It’s sad that people still see it as Canadian. Today, it’s not much more Canadian than McDonalds.
JK Rowling is the architect of the deaths of trans kids, she is not welcome in Canada. First Nations would be furious if she was allowed to enter.
I would boycott, except I haven’t bought anything there in years on account of it not being good.
Never a big Tim’s fan but there is one close to the office I’d hit on occassion for an iced Capp or a tea. Stopped last week when the Harry Potter shit dropped and won’t be going back.
Choose love, not hate.
That’s the spirit!
Chad energy! Anarchists gotta fight bigots!
McDonald’s may have its own ethical issues, but their offerings taste just as good. In fact, salted caramel frap is much better than iced capp. I said what I said.
I just had both back to back, iced capp just hits different but I must admit McD is cooking with the salted caramel frap.
I do like their coffee…
This was so disappointing to see. Haven’t thought Tim Hortons was Canadian for a long time. The decline continues - not going there anymore.
RIP Tim Hortons. This is not the final nail in the coffin because the coffin has already been nailed closed, chained shut, coated in epoxy and encased in concrete and buried for years. I stopped shopping there when they stopped cooking donuts in-store, but every decision they’ve made since then has only made me more committed. If they want to pour a dumptruck load more nails on top of the burial mound they are certainly welcome to do that and I welcome anything they can do to make it even less likely that I will ever accidentally come near a Tim Horton’s again. They’re continuing to do a great job and I thank them for it.
