quote [ Canadian coffee chain giant Tim Hortons seems to be much more comfortable serving double-doubles than navigating the tricky world of pipeline politics.
Facing pressure from some anti-pipeline customers, Tim Hortons has announced it will no longer be running advertisements for Enbridge. The move by Tim Hortons is not going over well in oil-friendly Alberta. Customers are pledging their own boycott. Politicians, including Defence Minister Jason Kenney, took to Twitter to voice their support for Enbridge. ]

I'm a little confused here, having never visited a 'Tim Hortons'. Is it kind of like a low-rent Canadian Starbucks? So if you go in there and get a cup of coffee, you're subjected to advertising on screens showing 'Tim TV'? I find this concept alone more obnoxious and offensive than whatever actual ads they might show.

It's a place you can come out of the snow and get something hot and watch hockey or some snow related things. They have cheap coffee/donuts/sandwiches.
Think of Albertians as Snow Texans. |

Ya pretty much. They loose alot of their purpose when the snow, and the hockey goes away though.

It's a redneck coffee/doughnut shop named for and founded by a professional drunk driver who got killed playing hockey. It's a bit of a nationalist thing for Ontarians and other neer-do-wells.

Tim Horton was a hockey played who was killed driving his sportscar back from a game in Buffalo. This fact is behind my never ending wonder that they would name a product "Timbits".

As an Albertian who frequently associates with Ontarians I would like to comment on everything you both have said. You fucking nailed it on all counts. That is all. |
