Agree on this. I don't have a problem with something like Tim Hortons being popular and defined as a very Canadian thing... I have a problem with such a piece of crap product representing Canada. If we're going to be proud of something being Canadian, let's make sure that product is a leader on the international stage, not some milky dishwater that they scooped out of the Ganges.
We can be proud of our hockey, because we are one of the best. We can be proud of our Rocky Mountains, as they are world-class tourist destinations. We can be proud of our aerospace industry, our comedians, our high quality of life.
But being proud of 3rd rate coffee that would get you publicly shamed in most parts of the word? That's insulting to Canada.
