I dont mind the 'faux-Canadiana' thing. While it may suck to be represented by mediocre coffee, dont kid yourselves it isnt bottom-of-the-barrel swill, its just not 'gourmet.' And again, mediocre food.

You get what you pay for. You're not going to get a large Kopi Luwak and filet mignon for $6, get over it.

Ultimately though, as an organization they're not terrible. They sell a mediocre product at a very low price. But they're also decent corporate citizens, they donate a lot of money to minor hockey and soccer and various other charities and organizations.

We could be 'represented' by worse.
