A Cup of Christmas Cheer

1. Here’s a fun Christmas game. Let’s count all the things in that photo that are made of plastic.

   1. do you count the glue on the cardboard cup holders? how about the waxy lining of their cups?

2. I think some baby-fetish guy should go to an HR tribunal and demand sippy-cup lids be provided by Tim Hortons.

3. Haven’t been to a Hortons since they kowtowed to “SumsofUs” who shamed them into dropping Enbridge commercials. Yeah, I know, my hate runs deep…I can’t let shit go. Need to work on that.
   How it is that Tim Hortons is still operating in Ft.McMurray will forever be one of life’s enduring mysteries.
   Would that it went the way of Bud Light.

   1. Not to mention they told children of the unjabbed to FO, and wouldn’t let them into their summer camps. Truly slimeballs.

      1. I forgot about that one. I’m slipping.

   2. I have never gone back there for the same reason. We should go for coffee sometime.
      Merry Christmas.

   3. Sometimes it is not good to let things go. We lose when we let things go, it is just one more way of saying we will tolerate “their” sh*t.

4. British Columbia – saving the planet one stir stick at a time.

   1. it imposes no costs on the government, unlike building a sewage treatment plant so they aren’t dumping raw sewage into the ocean

      1. Aye, compete with Montreal on that one…
         Yer vote does matter…somehow

5. Just what everyone wants, a scorching hot coffee being passed to them in the drive thru without a lid.

6. Except for the lids, McDonald’s had them beat years ago, had to ask for straws, napkins, ketchup…

   1. Better coffee at McDonald’s. Or at least, not as bad as Tim’s.

7. Meh, I haven’t patronized a Timmy’s in many years and won’t in the future. As far as I’m concerned, the entire chain can collapse and the world would be a better place for it.

8. Hardly ever buy a Tim coffee anymore, maybe twice a year. Tim’s has already been on the cheap. They never hand out sleeves either, have to always ask for one.
   It changed a long time ago, hence, I’ve stopped going there except on a RARE basis.

9. Tims was the first cost cutting measure in my life after the 2008 crash.. Im sure they dont miss me but I did the math and not including gas, time and treats.. I was handing over 2500 a year for coffee for two.. 4 extra large double doubles a day.. That’s a lot of money slow dripping out of your pocket..

   All in maybe 3500 or so handed over for sugar, flour, beans and water.. and a lid and a straw.. :).. Ahhh the good ole days..

10. Just wait until everything is covered by a government mandate on what you are allowed to have, food, shelter, clothing, gasoline, electricity, heat………

11. The socialists are starting to gett what they voted for. Wait ’til the cascade starts: one concert per year, limits on wine consumption (maybe meat too), no air travel without proof of tree planting, etc. There’s no sympathy from me.

12. Next up for BC: chicory coffee. It can be grown in BC, so no need to pollute the planet by shipping coffee beans around the world.

13. Anyone who would order a disgusting “double-double” almost deserves it in their laps! LOL

    1. Gotta agree with you there!

14. I’ve been buying A&W medium size coffee about 2 yrs now, i can’t stand the taste of tims anymore.
    There medium is about the size of a large at tims and small is the size of tims medium.
    MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

    1. I’d rather lick the inside of a urinal than drink Tim Hortons coffee.

15. Seems for some people it will take boiled genitals by substandard java to appreciate how much their fascist government hates their existence.

16. I don’t understand why the businesses affected by these insane rules do not band together and tell the government and their bureaucrats to go and ‘eFF’ themselves.
    If the businesses were to push back the people would follow. Governments may find that they would have to stay in their lanes.

    1. You lived through Covid and you don’t understand that? Remember the truckers who told them to shove it? Tamara Lich is still in court, and she didn’t even throw red paint on a book store.

       You live in a country where the government will cheerfully shut down the entire Tim Horton’s chain, nation wide, for giving out plastic lids. They’ll just arrest the owners and lock up the stores. For real.

       Welcome to Canada. Merry frickin’ Christmas.

       1. That is why in your face violence is coming their way.

17. You know, if the Normies -ever- finally wake up to the way they’re being herded, it is going to be something like this that does it. The anti-plastic bullying is the most consistently annoying government issue there is, even worse than taxes.

    Every time I go to the store and they won’t give me a bag, because it’s ILLEGAL, I’m reminded how much I hate the government. Cheap plastic bags. Such a simple and welcome convenience, banned because… well no reason, really, just clouds of squid ink with no squid in the middle. Endless fake statistics and bafflegab to cover up the fact that they did it for an election stunt, because it doesn’t COST them anything.

    And it really doesn’t cost them. I’m already not going to vote for them, irritating me further doesn’t make it worse as far as they are concerned. Free virtue signal.

18. Another brain dead stupid idea, brought to you by the NDP. Sadly the majority of the village idiots inhabiting B.C. think crap like this is saving the planet.
    Like Burton, I have not been into a Tim’s since their tom-f*ckery with the Ensbridge commercials.

19. Canada is a silly, unserious country being run by evil fools.

    1. That would be true.

20. Elected sociopaths of all electable parties partake in pseudo-environmental virtue signaling as it makes it appear that there is a reason for their existence. There isn’t!

21. I’m a regular guy, I throw my plastic straw & other garbage in the trash. Nobody explained to me how it’s my fault that this straw goes from a trash can in the prairies to a polluted river in Asia.

    1. Because that’s not the path…

       the path is Used plastic to recycling bin, to recycling depot, to third world country because plastic isn’t usefully recyclable at the post consumer level, to dumped illegally, because the third world country doesn’t know what to do with it either…

22. last Timmys i went to was Madrid Spain , same everything. I asked for a double double just for the hell of it in English. got it . i usually drink black. coffee was a big one compared to the rest of the fare on the calle

23. We were in Europe in September. The entire interior of the Air Transat aircraft was made of plastics: seats, walls, ceilings, luggage compartments, etc. But the cutlery pieces for our meals were ridiculous and useless little blunt pieces of crap made from recycled cardboard or some such shit.

24. I’m reading all this sitting in Venice, Florida. Let me share how life is here: every retail purchase of EVERYTHING comes in FREE plastic bags; every ‘to go’ beverage comes with a plastic lid and cold drinks all come with plastic straws; although I drink Yeungling I saw Molson Canadian and Labatt’s Blue on the supermarket shelf this week at $12.99 a dozen (after travelling 1,500 miles down to Florida). And I haven’t even mentioned the low taxes and great weather.

    1. And my last gasoline fill-up at Chevron cost $2.89 a U.S. gallon = 4 liters. Literally EVERYTHING is cheaper. Oh, and we can (and do) legally carry handguns, which tends to make most people a bit more polite / courteous / sensible. There is zero state income tax and U.S. federal tax rates are significantly lower than Canada. Life is gooooood! Merry Christmas to all.

       1. MERRY CHRISTMAS. I wish I could go there again, 15 years in a row to the same place on the gulf.

25. I don’t drink coffee period. Been into Tim’s twice this year simply to fill up with one of their cardboard lunch things = just pure convenience on my part! Don’t do McD, or DQ, or A&W I’d rather eat at home, and mostly do.
