You think boycotting Tim Hortons is going to benefit the economy?
boycotting Tims will benifit the small independent business and this is a good thing

once people change patronage,it is always hard to have them return to your business.
Here in Alberta we are sick of Enbridge,rumour has it they sponsored Jim Prentice,people are sick and tired of Enbridge and their ways.

I like Timmies. I get coffee a few times a week from there.

I don't mind their coffee although now most schools have Keurigs so I just take a few pods with me

I like the occasional donut too...and if I am truly in a pinch I will order their chilli but the sodium in most of their food is revolting...it's usually months and months between donuts or chilli

I go for the big container of ground Tim Hortons coffee and use a refillable Keurig.

Otherwise, I just get it personally delivered to me by Harper.


It's the best way to enjoy your Timmies!

looks and bank accounts

never judge a book by it's cover

he is also a scholar, never judge a mind by how someone looks

I was hoping Tim Hortons would have kicked butt when the Canadian Government was using their good name for the FWP examples,but they didn't,they allowed their good name to stand next to bad policy.I wish Tim Hortons would grow some back bone,and quit associating with creeps.

No, you don't know what your talking about.

Here in Alberta we are very proud of Enbridge, they employ a lot of good hard working Albertans who pay tax, they volunteer a lot of their time for fund raising events and carry out many other community activities and much more, etc etc.

Enbridge is also a good dividend paying company that a lot of seniors rely on to subliment their incomes.

Enbridge is a great AB company.

Again, you don't know what your talking about.

The Conservative policies have all been very good for Canada.

Maybe you should go back to Ontario !!

Good time to buy.. :)

From WildRose Alberta Party: Brian Jean

"Thanks Rick Bell for the chat. I was very disappointed in Tim Hortons' decision. Our energy companies fuel our economy, provide jobs, and adhere to strict environmental standards. I think Tims should stick to their coffee making and not take shots at Alberta’s job creators."

Good for Brian, very classy statement.

Tim Hortons and the Enbridge ads: Way to lodge your corporate head where the sun
Haven't heard any response from the Notley government, it's pretty obvious she does not support AB oil taxpayers and voters.
