Tim Hortons has lost my business and I agree... they have turned their backs on the country that made them. I also say "Tim Hortons beware about going south of the border... we Americans support our troops." If Canadians send Timmy a message each Friday and buy their coffee and donuts elsewhere then Fridays would become a real red day for Tim Hortons.

The evils of a business that is popular...we must put an end to it. The only businesses that should be allowed to survive are those that are not popular or successful. We must do our duty and put an end to anything that the general public likes, because we know better.
As soon as this site becomes more popular, we must turn against it and have it banned, as well.

its about being a responsible bussiness I once thought Timmys with its camp and what not was a wonderful Canadain institution but the problems the bussiness is creating and not taking responsibility for is unacceptable ,the red friday thing should have been already dissussed in thier boardrooms ,and if it was and the decision was not to hurt our customers ,that shows money talks ,until they realized it was costing them profits they did not budge ! but once sales dropped ,the tunes changed --Too late

The point is, it wasn't automatice, they had to be coerced into allowing it. That is the issue. If Tim Horton was alive, what do you think he would have done?

What an endearingly Liberal tone in that comment.

Personally, I agree. I don't give two flying f**k's whether or not you believe the war is right or wrong, those men and women deserve nothing less.
I can't stand Timmy's coffee, but I do purchase it from time to time as need be. But from here on out, I think not.
Quoting BitWhys
During WW I and WWII (LWF), the sentiment that all the men and women, serving our Nation overseas, were considered the sons and daughters of our Nation, was common place. Therefore, if you turn your back on our sons and daughters, you turn your back on our Nation.
Since when did "our troops overseas" constitute the whole of Canada?

I don't get the big fuss. I don't understand why the one group that we need to be outraged about all the time is "the troops". If they didn't allow their employees to wear pink or red ribbons no one would care. Why should I stop buying good hot chocolate because Tim's didn't automatically jump on the "we love the troops" bandwagon?

True enough. I remember when I used to work at a public library, we had a no-soliciting policy for donations. None of those change jars, etc. The only group to make a stink about it was the legion around poppy time for Remembrance Day, accusing the head librarian of being against veterans. Never mind the fact her father was a veteran (he actually served with my grandpa in Europe during WW2). I just don't see why their cause (admitedly a good one) deserved special treatment over other good causes.
