  • Meh, it’s debatable but I IMO if it’s majority foreign owned, it’s not canadian. Looking more into it as I hadn’t read about it in a while:

    The company’s headquarters are in Toronto, but 3G Capital [Brazilian company] remains the biggest player with a 32% stake, meaning major decisions are influenced from beyond Canada’s borders. Src

    Either way I just don’t care for nationalism, so I should have clarified: I don’t want shitty coffee just because it claims to be Canadian. I’m annoyed that they use nationalism as a part of their branding and it’s pretty much the only thing that has held them up as their quality has gotten worse and worse in the last 20 or 30 years.

    My mom worked at Tim’s when I was a kid, they made everything in house and fresh. I worked at Tim’s as a teenager, we made some stuff in house but mostly it came frozen and we reheated it in essentially giant microwaves. As I was leaving, even the muffins (which were the last of the ‘fresh’ items) were being switched to frozen garbage.

    Then there was the whole thing with them losing their coffee contracts to McD’s - so McDonald’s actually had the better tasting Tim’s coffee and Tim Horton’s coffee got truly shit.

    Idk sorry about the rant, I just truly do not see the value in that company.


  • Well, bad food and shitty coffee lol. But actually, they were bought out by an American company years ago (taco bell I think?) and keep portraying themselves as this great Canadian company. It’s just gross and I try not to purchase from shitty companies.

    Also, as a general rule because I am lucky enough to live in a town full of great coffee shops, I just prefer local.

    Jesus I was just thinking the opposite. I would be OK with poly if it meant saving on rent but 1500 is fucking ridiculous (and I’m thinking Canadian). Even coming from the most expensive rent in Canada, that’s way too fucking much to also be dealing with weird “breeders”.
