A couple thoughts...and this from a Canadian Soldier (yes, that's me)
I am sure Timmy's cares little, as they have a damn monopoly on Coffee in Canada these days. They have a Tims on every damn corner in most cities, and the amount of coffee they sell in the mornings alone can justify that.
If you look at most Tim Hortons Drive-Thru's in the mornings, you'll see how packed they are. That is how the Timmy's drive-thru looks ALL DAY on the Timmy's that are located on military bases here in Canada. The get so much damn business from the military it's not even funny. We support the hell out of them, and frankly I think it would be nice for them to support us in return.
The soliders aren't asking for a damn handout...they all have cash over there, and nowhere else to spend it. I am sure they would do just fine if they set-up shop over there. Especially since they could send in all their crap via military transport if they wanted.
As for when the Canadians pull out??? Then what?? Well, they aren't. Canada will be there for the long haul...believe me.
Thanks Nieuwy-89...nice to see someone pulling for the soldiers to get a little taste of home. While it seems rather minor and trivial...small things like that can keep the troops going over there.
