When I got to work this morning, there was a single timbit on a plate on my desk. I just about howled.
I woulda been outraged! Only one??
One.
It really looked, errrrrrrr, priceless.
TIM HORTON'S IS OWNED BY AN AMERICAN!?!?!?!
Isn't the Tim Hortons advertising campaign all about how Canadian they are? Tim Hortons is supposed to be as Canadian as apple pie is american
Quote:In 1995, the TDL group merged with the American fast-food giant, Wendy's International Inc.
Merger is a sort of polite way to say take-over.
geez, I hate it when companies do things like this to me. I'm a teen, i am very impressionable. Timmies got me all worked up about how Canadian i would be if I ate there, like its my patriotic duty or something.
I liked the St. Lawrence Market site...
Cheezits, I need to get my scanner going...
St. Lawrence market is great.
Has anyone ever been to that history of toronto area upstairs? I could just have been a limited engagment thing, but last time i went they had an area above part of the market where they displayed pictures of toronto from back in the day... Whatever day that was anyway...
K e v i n - those are the City of Toronto photo archives above the South Market. There have been changing displays up there for about 20 years. I've seen some really wonderful exhibits there. Definitely worth checking out.
ossoB - you'd love Toronto. There's the St. Lawrence Market, and Kensington Market, and Chinatowns 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, Little Italy, Little Vietnam, Greektown, The Fashion District, the new gallery district, the Bata Shoe Museum ... it's a fabulous place.
Apparently, Detroit can't decide whether it wants to be Chicago or Toronto.
Ya, i've been in the gallery, i just didn't know it was called the city of toronto photo archives.
Why don't we just start calling Detroit Torago?
Thats kind of catchy, sounds like a spanish food
Sounds more like a bull-monster, or a pokemon.
and that ^^^ sounded like someone's sofa-toting dad talking.

Hence it's American. Being as you are a young 'un and all, here is a piece of advice for ya. If it waves a flag, tells ya that it's Canadian to do it and it ain't about beer, then it's almost (but not definitely) an American ad campaign.
Lil Vietnam? Oh, I miss Vietnamese food.... unavailable in my new neck of the woods.
Isn't Wendy's International owned by Pepsi?
