#Tim Hortons Ontario Canada

[babylove007]

Someone needs to go over my Tim Hortons transactions from the last year in Kingston,

Compare it with the stores inventory stock,

And reimburse me all the extra cents and money for the downgrades. I'm sorry your staff lied to me in the process at times.

My name is LightlyToastedBagel

Usually my ice capps or iced coffee with extras.

JosuYasu Week Day 4: Traveling Abroad (in Canada~)

[secrethideoutwhispers]

Tim Hortons reported a revenue of around $3.3 billion in 2024, with a gross profit margin of 47.2%. Despite these robust financials, the company pays its full-time employees only $33,000 to $61,000 per year, which translates to an hourly wage barely above minimum wage in many regions.

Given its financial success, Tim Hortons should commit to paying all employees a living wage. This means adjusting wages to reflect the real cost of living, which varies by region but generally should start at least around $22 per hour in urban areas of Canada. This would not only improve the quality of life for workers but also boost employee satisfaction and retention, ultimately benefiting the company’s long-term success.

In addition, Tim Hortons could set an example in the fast-food industry by investing in comprehensive benefits, professional development, and opportunities for wage progression. By doing so, they can ensure that their employees are not just surviving but thriving in a challenging economic environment.

National Coffee Day

Whether getting one to go or lingering over a second cup, on September 29 be sure to observe National Coffee Day!

Ah, the perfect cup of java.  According to an expert cupper (a professional coffee taster), there are four components of a perfect cup: aroma, body, acidity, and flavor.

From the moment the average coffee lover opens a fresh bag of coffee beans, the aroma beckons, percolating the senses. Even those who don’t drink coffee tend to enjoy the fragrance a roasted bean casts.

When determining the body of a coffee, the bean, the roast, and the brew are all factors. The bean affects the texture of the coffee, whether its silky, creamy, thick or thin on the tongue and throat. However, the darker the roast and how it is brewed will alter the feel of a coffee’s body, too. Grandpa’s motor oil blend versus the coffee shop around the corner’s silky smooth, well-practiced grind have entirely different bodies.

The region a coffee is grown determines its acidity. The higher the elevation the coffee grows, the higher the quality and the acidity. These coffees are considered brighter, dryer, even sparkling by cuppers.

When it comes down to it, coffee lovers cherish the flavor as well as the caffeinated boost this roasted bean gives morning or night, black or with cream and sugar. Hot or cold it provides enjoyment even when decaffeinated!

There are many legendary accounts of how coffee first came to be, but the earliest credible evidence of either coffee drinking or the knowledge of the coffee tree appears in the middle of the 15th century in the Sufi monasteries around Mokha in Yemen.  It was here coffee seeds were first roasted and brewed, much like they are prepared today. Yemeni traders brought coffee back to their homeland from Ethiopia and began to cultivate the seed.

In 1670, coffee seeds were smuggled out of the Middle East by Baba Budan, as he strapped seven coffee seeds onto his chest.  The first plants grown from these smuggled seeds were planted in Mysore.  It was then that coffee spread to Italy, to the rest of Europe, to Indonesia and the Americas.

Brazil produces more coffee in the world than any other country followed by Colombia.  More than 50 countries around the world grow coffee, providing a delicious variety for the indulgence of steamy cups of the black drink for connoisseurs to consume.

today is canada day, so here are some canadian things that i think the bau members would enjoy

hotch would love tim hortons. he wishes they had it in the states. he'd love going on a timmies run through the drive thru on the way to work. he'd love the ubiquity of tim hortons. not quite on every street corner, but pretty darn close. he would enjoy cheap, decently good coffee, and it would be so practical. his turn to bring snacks for jack's soccer tournament? box of timbits for the kids and one of those portable coffee things for the grown-ups. he doesn't know what to get someone as a gift for christmas/birthday/promotion at work? tims gift card

rossi would love canadian wines. obviously, he loves italian wine first and foremost, but he'd enjoy a good niagara region or okanagan valley wine. he'd love to go on a getaway to niagara-on-the-lake and spend the days doing winery tours, playing golf, and not answering his phone. i think he would also love roots. he'd never wear it outside the house, but he would love some good quality roots sweatpants, sweater, and wool socks

jj would love canadian snacks that aren't sold in the states. she always forgets to eat real meals when she's working, so she keeps one of the drawers of her desk stuffed with snacks. if she went to canada, she'd buy so many snacks to stock her desk with. ketchup chips, all dressed chips, coffee crisp, smarties (the canadian kind, not the american kind - we call those rockets), butter tarts, nanaimo bars. she'd find ketchup-flavoured cheetos at the store and buy so many bags of them. she'd totally get stopped at the border for accidentally trying to smuggle kinder surprise eggs into the us

emily would love québecois and northern ontario french. she learned french in france with parisian teachers, which is completely different from the way french is spoken in québec and northern ontario (which are also different from each other), both in terms of accent and vocabulary. i think she'd love trying to understand their accents and picking up new words (mostly things like tabarnak, câlice, etc)

in my mind, reid has a total sweet tooth, so i think he'd love all things maple. maple cookies, maple fudge, maple candies, maple lollipops. i forget what it's called in english, but his favourite thing would be tire d'érable. maple taffy? the thing where you pour hot maple syrup on snow and then put it on a popsicle stick and eat it. he'd have maple candies living in his pockets and at the bottom of his messenger bag for ages

derek would love small-town ontario craft breweries. obviously craft beer exists outside of canada, but literally every small town in ontario has a craft brewery or two. it's like a big thing. my dad's a beer guy and he takes detours driving places to stop at his favourite craft breweries or to go to a new one. i feel like derek's the kind of guy who enjoys cracking open a cold one after a long day of flipping houses, so he'd enjoy getting a two-four of different kinds of craft beer from a local brewery and stocking his fridge

i tried so hard to think of one thing penelope would love, but honestly i think she would love everything. she'd come back from a trip to canada with so many souvenirs. a roots toque, a bottle of real canadian maple syrup, several snacks that aren't sold in the states, handmade moccasins, a mug with indigenous artwork, and a little bobblehead moose dressed as a mountie for her desk

Yet as exasperatingly counterproductive as Schumer’s remarks were, they could not hold a candle to the performance by Rep. Jerrold Nadler on Tuesday. Nadler was announcing that he would attend Bibi’s speech while also making clear he that he—as-a-Jew—despises the Israeli government that is currently embroiled in a multi-front war against enemies seeking to eliminate the Jewish people from the surface of the earth. Nadler collapsed under the pressure and tweeted what can only be described as a cry for help:

“Benjamin Netanyahu is the worst leader in Jewish history since the Maccabean king who invited the Romans into Jerusalem over 2100 years ago. The Prime Minister is putting the security of Israel, the lives of the hostages, the stability of the region, and longstanding Israeli democratic norms in perilous jeopardy, simply to maintain the stability of his far-right coalition and absolve him of his own legal troubles. Tomorrow’s address is the next step in a long line of manipulative bad-faith efforts by Republicans to further politicize the U.S.-Israel relationship for partisan gain and is a cynical stunt by Netanyahu aimed at aiding his own desperate political standing at home. There is no question in my mind it should not be happening.”

And yet, he said, “I have not given up on the dream of an Israel that can live in peace with its neighbors.” Therefore, he is attending the speech.

There are three things happening here, all of them deeply destructive. The first has nothing to do with the Jewish angle of this debacle. That is the diplomatic malpractice. America has a serious amount of power and lately an unserious way of wielding it.

Set aside the hysterical tone of Nadler’s post. Does anyone in Congress talk about any other ally this way? We have had a series of incompetent prime ministers in Britain over the past few years, one of whose term was outlived by a head of lettuce. We did not have members of Congress ranting about how Liz Truss was her country’s worst leader since Britain was Roman. That’s because they would look completely insane even publicly contemplating the question. If Nadler wants to retire to become a blogger at The Nation, he is more than welcome to. It’s a low bar, but more is expected of members of the United States Congress, especially those in senior positions.

Or we can turn to Canada, where the remedial-class prime minister likes to play dress-up more than think about politics, like some kind of ancient child-king. Is Schumer out on the floor ranting about how he loves Tim Hortons but the coffee will taste bitter to him until Justin Trudeau resigns to join the Ontario community theater?

Canada has gotten so blatantly racist these past few years. Like yeah, we always have been, but people at least used to hide it more. Now every day there’s a Facebook post like “driver went through stop sign” and there’ll be ten comments like “this is what happens when you give people a licence without making them take an Ontario test and they can’t speak English” or “Tim Hortons got my order wrong” and ten comments like “well they don’t hire Canadians anymore” when there’s zero proof it wasn’t just an idiot white person. And it’s like. Karen, just say you hate Indian people and get it over with. Everyone knows what you mean when you say “can’t speak English”.

Flat Phryne Canada Road Trip

Flat Phryne's adventures on the way to Miss Fisher Con in St. Paul continue. Her Canadian road trip begins in...LONDON !

No, not that one, the other one. The forest city in Southern Ontario, or also known as 'Half Way Between Detroit and Toronto'. And it also sits on the Thames River. (How Original!)

The City of London acknowledges that it is situated on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak and Attawandaron. Or in English, The Chippewas of the Thames First Nation; Oneida Nation of the Thames; and the Munsee-Delaware Nation, who all continue to live as sovereign Nations with individual and unique languages, cultures and customs.

No road trip can begin in Canada without a Timmies, a coffee or tea from the Tim Horton's coffee shop. Will Flat Phryne order a Medium Double Double (Two Cream Two Sugars) or have a steeped Earl Grey?

Flat Phryne then made her way to Toronto, the largest city in Canada. Behind her is the CN Tower, the most prominent structure on the waterfront, once the tallest free-standing structure in the world.

 While in Toronto, she checked in at Noonan's Irish Pub for a special event called ChickJam, an evening of music by an all female ensemble. 

It's a fundraiser for Garner Theatre Productions, who supports theatrical and musical productions, especially by women. Phryne had a grand time hooting and dancing and was even persuaded to take the mike for a song.

Phryne ends her road trip on the shores of one of the jewels in Canada, the Great Lakes. The scenery leaves her breathless.

Where will Flat Phryne visit next ? Stay tuned ! https://www.missfishercon.com/

Second month recap: July

Driving away from Sleeping Giant on 1st August means I've already completed two full months in the road!! Wow!! 🤩 And most amazingly, I still feel fantastic and am not ready yet to start going home by a long shot... 😁 in fact, I'm starting to get a bit concerned about everything that I still want to do in the remaining time, but I'm sure I'll figure it out!

I forgot to check the odometer but it was probably at around 67500 so that means I drove another 6,000 kilometers in the second month and slightly under 13,000 km in total. I still stick mostly with camping two nights in a row in a park (where I drive the absolute minimum), followed by a series of motels/inns/hotels when I drive larger distances, typically 3-4 hours a day interspersed with several breaks at viewpoints, small hikes, towns etc to get a feel of the area. I generally aim to arrive at my sleeping place by 6-7pm latest so that I have enough time to settle in before it gets dark (long summer hours help!) but once in a while I get there earlier around 3-4pm to get a lazy afternoon. And sometimes I only start at 10-11am taking it easy in the morning, especially when it's crappy weather 😅. The joy of absolute freedom to choose how I spend my days!! 🥰❤

I can hardly believe where I was at the end of the first month as that feels such a long time ago... in Matane in the Gaspesie, Québec. So last month, I did the entire Labrador loop which included a large section of unpaved road and more boreal trees than I ever imagined 😝. Got delayed on the cargo boat back to Québec so that resulted in some last minute changes to hotels and tours, then the ever-impressive sea along the Cote Nord all the way west to Québec City, several pretty national parks in central Quebec that were unfortunately impacted by flooding, a stay-over in Montreal and then along the Ottawa Valley via North Bay - Sudbury - Sault Ste Marie to the spectacular scenery of Lake Superior! 🎉 The diversity in the natural environment from maritime to boreal, from sea cliffs to inland canyons & massive lakes is so incredibly huge, and I'm only half way, as the Prairies and the Rockies are still ahead of me! 😍😍

What is constant though throughout is the friendliness of the people I meet, whether it's the staff at the visitor centres and in the parks, other campers or restaurant guests, or even if it's only a short "great day isn't it?" when you're passing each other on the trail or on the water. Canadians are rightly proud of their local area as well as their country, and are truly wanting to share that with others.

I've also come to realize I'm not alone in wanting to pursue my dreams as many have done so before me; from the scallops farmer in Québec to the inn owner in Ontario, several have shared with me their life trajectory often having moved away from the busy corporate/urban life to focus on what's important to them. No one has perhaps dared to tell me I'm crazy 😜 and it's surprising how many people can in some way relate to Chile 😅 so that makes me hopeful for the future!

Lastly, I wanted to share my reflection on the role that cross-country retailers like Canadian Tire, Tim Hortons and to some extent grocery stores and gas stations play in comforting travelers like me and unifying Canada as truly one country... as part of my job, I've ofcourse always known that CT has 507 stores across Canada but I've never felt what that means until now. When driving for 100-300kms in the middle of inhospitable forest without cell reception and literally only a handful of sideroads and buildings, it's comforting to know that at the end of it there will always be a place to e.g. buy a cup of tea & a donut or propane & kindling 😅. Typically, both CT and Tim Hortons will have signs 5-10km upon approach of a town (though mostly run down and overgrown 😉) and there's a real sense of relief & joy that I've been feeling seeing those signs; a combo of gladness that my car didn't break down or was hit by a moose/bear, and of happiness to be back in the familiar human realm (something like that, not sure how to explain). Secondly, it's also unifying to see the same brands in so many different places, as that creates a bond between all Canadians (in contrast, if you would drive equal distance in Europe you would likely have crossed a border with each country having its own brands/language etc). Having the same stores with the same products everywhere you go in Canada creates a commonality that clearly says: I am in Canada 🇨🇦 (actually, because CT stores are built on a standard proto design, I bought firestarters in exactly the same aisle in Pembroke as in Dryden 🤣)... I don't think this comforting & unifying aspect is apparent when you live in an urban area or only travel locally, but this roadtrip has increased my appreciation of both these Canadian brands (and I'm really not a big Tim Hortons fan although the branch in Marathon was phenomenal) .

I've rambled long enough now and need to light the fire 😃, so here's my top ten-ish of best experiences for the second month in chronological order. Scroll to my previous blogs for pictures!

1. Driving the Labrador loop including the expansive boreal forest and the Manic-5 hydro dam, QC/NL

2. Staying at Battle Harbour Island, NL

3. Seeing icebergs on the trails at Red Bay and L'Anse au Clair, NL

4 Taking the cargo boat from Blanc-Sablon to Kegashka, QC

5. Touring the Mingan archipelago (both west and east islands), QC

6. Whale watching at Cap de Bon-Désir & the Marine Discovery Centre, QC

7. Hiking the Mont du Lac-des-Cygnes at Grands-Jardins, QC

8. Meeting Nabil and spending the day in Vieux-Montreal, QC

9. SUPping at Barron Canyon & Restoule, ON

10. Hiking the pictographs trail at Lake Superior & the coastal trail at Pukaskwa parks, ON

11. Paddling on Lake Superior, ON

12. Guided PoW camp hike at Neys provincial park, ON

There's a few that I omitted such as the Manitou waterfall in eastern Québec, park La Mauricie and the Ouimet Canyon that are must-do's if you're in the area but I can't simply name everything that I did! 😉

I'll need to create better Gmaps next time I have internet on my laptop!

Tim Hortons Needs to Invest in Canadian Workers – Or Risk Losing Its Place in the Market

For decades, Tim Hortons has been an iconic brand in Canada, known for its coffee, donuts, and sense of national identity. However, while the brand has built its empire on the backs of hardworking Canadians, it's failing to support those same workers in a meaningful way. If Tim Hortons doesn’t start investing in its employees, it risks losing both its workforce and its customer base – and ultimately, its place as a Canadian staple.

Workers Are the Backbone of Any Business

The minimum wage, part-time hours, and lack of benefits that Tim Hortons offers many of its employees are unsustainable. With the cost of living skyrocketing across Canada, workers simply cannot make ends meet. According to a recent study, more than 40% of minimum-wage workers in Canada are struggling with food insecurity. How can we expect employees to provide great service when they can’t even provide for themselves? Companies like Tim Hortons, which generate billions in revenue, need to lead by example and offer their employees living wages, full-time positions, and benefits like health care and paid leave.

Corporate Greed Over Canadian Values

Many Canadians were disappointed when Tim Hortons was bought by Restaurant Brands International (RBI) in 2014, a global corporation focused on maximizing profits. Since then, Tim Hortons has seen a shift from community values to corporate greed, squeezing workers and raising prices while cutting corners. The recent wage cuts and benefit reductions following Ontario’s minimum wage increase were seen as a slap in the face to Canadians, reinforcing that RBI cares more about profits than people.

Change Is Not Only Ethical – It’s Necessary

If Tim Hortons fails to improve working conditions, it risks more than just bad PR. The rise of independent coffee shops, which treat employees more fairly, is drawing customers away. In fact, studies show that consumers are increasingly choosing brands that align with their values, and ethical treatment of workers is at the top of the list. If Tim Hortons doesn't adapt, customers will continue to turn their backs, and the company will lose the loyalty that has kept it alive for decades.

Tim Hortons has the power to remain a Canadian icon, but only if it recognizes the value of its workers. It’s time for this company to act in the best interests of Canadians by paying living wages, offering full-time positions, and prioritizing employee well-being. Without these changes, Tim Hortons risks not only losing its workforce but also its reputation.

Have you really been to Canada if you haven’t gotten a coffee from Tim Hortons?

The business was founded by Tim Horton, who played in the National Hockey League, from 1949 until his death in an auto crash in 1974. The first Tim Horton restaurant was located in North Bay, Ontario and sold hamburgers. The chain's first doughnut store opened on May 17, 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario under the name Tim Horton Donuts. The name was later abbreviated to "Tim Horton's" and then changed to "Tim Hortons" without the possessive apostrophe. It is Canada's largest quick-service restaurant chain, with 5,352 restaurants in 15 countries, as of June 30, 2022.

[agent-bash]

Would it be fair to say Canadians are similar to the British? E.g vocabulary used, personalities and demeanour. You used ‘crummy’ in a post I saw and I felt like it was very Brit like. And there’s a Canadian stylist I follow on Instagram who calls her mother ‘Mummy’. I was in Ontario a couple weeks back and the people behind the tills at the convenience stores have better customer service than they people behind the Tim Horton’s in Buffalo, NY

Nonny, I dare you to say this in Quebec! Please! And maybe New Brunswick too… and all the Territories.

In all seriousness are there similarities? Sure, a lot of Canadians are descended from Brits, just like a lot of Americans. Outside of that I think it’s just personal idiosyncrasies, like my use crummy (which I mean is also just a word, I’ve heard Americans use it too) some of us are going to be more heavily influenced by British culture because we grew up with it as a larger presence in our lives. My mum is from Scotland. She and her family didn’t move to Canada until she was almost in university. So yeah, that’s a larger influence in my life, so that influences my lexicon, as other aspects of my life and personality.

So yeah British similarities, but not British alone. I think Canada and Canadians are just uniquely themselves. And to be fair to the US, your poor service at a Tim’s in Buffalo (side note never go to a Tim’s in the states) compared to a convenience store in Ontario has absolutely nothing to do with the fact you were in the US and just everything to do with the fact you were in Buffalo!
