Meant to type hah, not harsh. Clumsy fingers + tablet.
When I use the term cult (not the first one in this thread to do that btw), I don't actually insinuate that people chop their balls off and literally join a cult. Tim Hortons is an extremely popular place in Canada, and it's been called a cult in jest many times over. It's the same type of cult as people have over Starbucks. Considering the lineups everyday, the amount of popularity it has in Canada, and how passionately people on this board defending it, you don't consider that kind of cultish?
But anyway, I'm not sure why you're so angry about what I said. The discussion was about Tim Horton's and how it relates to Canadian pride. Some people think people only go there because of the convenience and price, and I think there is more to it than that. I didn't say that people should go to McDonalds for everything.. just that in the budget coffee category, I think it's a step up from TH, just as convenient, and cheaper too. Frankly I think both offer pretty terrible food (must be that wagon owner bias), and don't think going to either as part of a regular breakfast is a good dietary choice. But hey, go nuts if you like it.
Your second paragraph, I'm not really sure what to say to that as there's clearly some sort of personal hate in there or something, so I'll just leave it as is.
