I just think you're putting more thought into it than people do when they go there.
I guess we have no definitive way of looking into it other than anecdotal evidence, but in my experience people don't put very much thought into grabbing coffee and breakfeast other than "Where do I stop for coffee and a bagel?"
I just never see/hear any canadiana reasons for going there. I do hear plenty of reasons, though, and they're always to do with either "they're everywhere" (see: familiarity). Want to grab a breakfeast bagel (they're not the best, but they're cheap and kinda tasty in a fast food kind of way). I'm grabbing coffee for the guys (I'll to Tim's, again, familiarity and they have those handy boxes for large coffee orders if you have a crew!)
I just really think you're confusing a fast food chain that has found a perfect niche in Canada for a number of reasons (4X4 accurately described many of them) and has more locations across Canada than any other chain, for people going there en masse because of national pride, due to their commercials suggesting that.
