God damn it, it would be great if posters would actually read the thread before posting responses.

For example, I believe Rico Fata owns a Tim Hortons in Sault Saint Marie. And Tim Hortons was actually founded by NHLer player Johnny Bower. So there's lots of tradition in there.

Has anyone mentioned that Rico Fata owns a Tim Hortons franchise?

If that was true it’d be called Johnny Bowers.

Last word on this should go to Friedman from his 31 thoughts...

Quote:
I had someone along the way, I can’t remember if it was a teacher or a University professor, but someone who ran a classroom. And he banned the phrase ‘unskilled labour.’ He would say to us “If you think it’s so unskilled, I would like to see you try it.” I loved that philosophy. I was reminded of this when I saw that Donald Brashear story about working in Tim Hortons. Life is a challenge. It’s supposed to be fun, but it’s a grind. All we try to do is make it better for ourselves and our families. Nobody should be made fun of for that.
