It's Timmy's, and it's where you get your cheap, standard coffee. As an adopted Canadian, I'm proud of something like Tims which brings Canadians of all backgrounds together under one, coffee-loving umbrella.
I'm Canadian, and Tim Hortons is not "mine". The only way I'll rally around it is if I'm in a mob and we're about to light it on fire. Why should I be proud of cheap coffee and disgusting food?
