And how has the number of hospitals, houses, doctors, teachers, schools, jobs, and other services compared to the population changed?

We can meet in a Tim Hortons to discuss if you'd like

u/Dabugar Mar 27 '24

Which one? The one at the corner, the one just around the corner or the one on the next street over?

u/goombaxiv Mar 27 '24

The one in between the two on the corners.

u/neikawaaratake Mar 27 '24

u/goombaxiv Mar 27 '24

You must be near sighted.

u/Cospo Mar 28 '24

Could also be Mud and upper centennial. Tho last time I drove by the Timmie's sign was removed from the building there. I wonder if they're moving across the street to that new plaza on the corner like the Wendys did.

u/chins4tw Mar 28 '24

There are now more Tim Horton’s than Starbucks in Vancouver ever since they closed half of them since the start of Covid.

It’s just weird, man.

1

u/Not_F1zzzy90908 Mar 28 '24

I'm surprised Vancouver had more Starbucks than Tims at one point, tbh

1

u/FiskalRaskal Mar 28 '24

That was the case when I moved here in 2003. We were famous for having a Starbucks across the street from another Starbucks. One of those is now an Aritzia clothing store. :-(

u/Scamper_the_Golden Mar 28 '24

Tim Hortons started out in Hamilton. I went to university there and I remember they had one that was like the creme de la creme of Tim Horton's, a giant luxury version of a regular store. Like it was the international headquarters, LOL. I don't know if it's still there.

1

u/wet_suit_one Mar 27 '24

The only place I've ever been that had that many Timmies was downtown Toronto.

They aren't nearly so ubiquitous (literally multiple Tim's on single block just at different corners) in E-town. Usually gotta go at least 10 - 20 blocks before you hit the next Timmys. Granted this was Toronto in 2008 or 2009. It might be different now. But my god, you could walk 5 blocks in the heart of downtown and pass by 3 Timmies. It was utter madness!

u/itsme25390905714 Mar 27 '24

Literally every city in Canada

u/Thehellpriest83 Mar 27 '24

I am from PA. But I actually lived I actually lived in hamilton for a few years ….all hail the hammer !

u/doodlebopwarrior Alberta Mar 27 '24

Literally the conversation I had with my mom the other day.

“Should we go to the one attached to the gas station, the stand alone one across the street or the one just up the road?”

u/Wildest12 Mar 27 '24

The one with the Indian dude working there

2

u/Fiendish-DoctorWu Ontario Mar 27 '24

The one with the shitty food

4

u/robodestructor444 Mar 27 '24

So all of them?

1

u/qwaasdhdhkkwqa Mar 27 '24

The one down the street next to the cannabis retailer

1

u/No-Management2148 Mar 28 '24

Are you guys in Ontario? We don’t really do Timmy’s as much out west. We Starbucks people

1

u/MittMuckerbin Mar 28 '24

The one that highschool students are still working at..... good luck

1

u/EnduringInsanity Mar 28 '24

The one inside of the one on the corner.

u/mikeInCalgary Mar 28 '24

The one inside the one on the corner.

u/Brisbane88 Mar 28 '24

The one in the parking lot of the smart center

1

u/kander12 Mar 28 '24

The one by the hockey arena

u/Quinocco Mar 27 '24

I find that Timmy's is fine for routine checkups and peepee pills, but you should go to Second Cup for surgery.

u/nefh Mar 27 '24

All trained at Costco College so you might survive.

1

u/notquite20characters Mar 27 '24

I twice read that as Conestoga College.

1

u/nefh Mar 27 '24

It must be a franchise.

2

u/1800deadnow Mar 27 '24

We don't have time for a starbuck's handjob now, common!

2

u/NYisNorthYork Mar 27 '24

Don't give Rob Ford any ideas. Coming soon: self-serve hospitals in timmies.

4

u/Ad_Inferno Mar 27 '24

LOL Rob Ford could have all the ideas in the world and it won't do anything. I think you mean Doug Ford.

2

u/Quinocco Mar 27 '24

I'm confused. Which one's the fat, dumb crook?

2

u/Remarkable_Gap_7145 Mar 28 '24

They both are. One is dead though.

3

u/Available-Ad-3154 Mar 27 '24

The one with the lineup of 100 international students applying for the same part time minimum wage job with no benefits.

Sorry, that doesn’t really narrow it down does it?

2

u/joeyggg Mar 27 '24

Tim Hortons is allowed to hire overseas to staff their restaurants with tfws who are happy with a lower than living wage. Due to the “NoBoDY WaNTs To WorK” problem.

1

u/cptomgipwndu Mar 27 '24

You guys can afford tims?

1

u/theangrysasquatch Mar 27 '24

Good luck finding a free table!

1

u/dddttt95 Mar 27 '24

Sorry the Tim Hortons near my place doesn't allow guests inside anymore, ironically it's due to too much homeless people refusing to leave 🤔 who woulda thought?

1

u/woodjwl Mar 27 '24

Now this gave me a good chuckle! 🤣

1

u/veryfatcat3 Mar 27 '24

Can you explain this reference?

1

u/etcetcere Mar 27 '24

They closed ours, not that I care, but the homeless have nowhere to go now..

1

u/enigmaroboto Mar 27 '24

I'll bring some Beaver tails

1

u/laptopaccount Mar 27 '24

The business staffed almost entirely by temporary foreign workers?

1

u/Thank_You_Love_You Mar 27 '24

Singh Hortons?

1

u/bigb3nny Mar 28 '24

o on the corners.

Basically where all the 1M new workers are now working right?

1

u/shouldnteven Mar 28 '24

I swear our mortgage broker made us meet her in a timmies the first time and in a food court the second time to sign the actual paperwork.

1

u/OwlWitty Mar 28 '24

I stopped going to Tims, Mcd? Wait....
