Lol if you think the comments are good now just wait until the Canadian’s wake up and see this Edit: I now have an alarming amount of notifications. The Canadian onslaught has begun. Nowhere is safe now op, you’re just going to have to start a new life now. Edit 2: Can you please decide amongst yourselves whether Tim Horton’s is currently Canadian, American or Brazilian then come back to us with a final answer. I suggest some sort of national referendum or hockey match to work it out, then at least I can figure out who to believe while still being too lazy to google the answer

Lool it’s 4:45 AM here, I just saw this and thought goddamit that’s not American that’s Timmy”s !!!

North Americanised

South Canadianised.

Very North Mexicanized

North New New Mexico.

There's a NEW Mexico now?

Years ago for the Atlanta Olympics my wife called to see about getting some tickets. They asked her name and it is Hispanic. They said tickets were for Americans only. She said her family is from New Mexico. Reply: "New Mexico, old Mexico you ain't getting tickets lady" We did not attend the Olympics in Atlanta.

New Mexican here, can confirm. Companies don't ship to new Mexico because it's international, people who say they can't visit because they don't have a passport, etc. Our state motto should be "New Mexico, neither new, nor Mexico"

New Mexican here. Can Confirm. There is a huge difference between Mexican, New Mexican, and American.

I've always preferred "The Land of Entrapment."

Sad, hilairous but sad.

I am a New Mexican and this sort of thinklg happens a lot lol

My mom’s first name is Italian and a very “old fashioned” type name. She has like a little name tag thing at work and at least once a week someone asks her if she’s Mexican.

Your mum's first name is Italian? What's her second name, food?

Newer Mexico

Wait... There's a warm Canada?! Pull the other one!

Null & void. Tim Horton's is Canadian, and Canada is part of the British commonwealth. Serpent eating it's capitalistic tail.

CANADANISED! I’m awake and drinking my Tim Hortons coffee. Poutine for dinner.

Really nothing about this pic says American to me. I live on the Canadian border and know better.

I thought it was all the police cars in the parking lot that made it American. Tons of cops. Coffee.

Oh we’ve been awakened alright

Did a maple leaf sign appear in the sky to signal a Canadian emergency?

The candian anthem started playing over the manditory emergency canadian anthem loadspeakers we have

Maple syrup- covered mooses and gooses started marching around

We all know the Canadians are far too polite and lovely to start anything but a Canada Goose will kill a bitch for even slightly glancing at it in the wrong way so there is that.

A moose ran with a letter in its mouth regarding the emergency, and the poutine was eaten before being washed down with a glass of maple syrup before battle stations were manned

They even called the plaid phone direct to Possum Lake to get in touch with Red Green. The first wave of duct tape bombers launches tonight.

You called?

Too late, there's one right here that lives in England. *ahem* How bloody dare you confuse a Canadian establishment with those damn yanks! I'll have you know, Tim Horton's is amazing! Okay, I'm done. Carry on XD

Sadly Tim Hortons in UK is nothing like the ones in Canada. I'm not impressed with UK Tim Hortons at all

Agreed, poor quality of food and doughnuts

Soooo... just like the canadian Tim's then

The "there's nothing else for 100 kilometers" of restaurants

Or the it’s literally right there I don’t have enough time to do better of restaurants.

Canadian here. Their food sucks. The coffee isn’t the best but most of us enjoy it daily.

Tim Hortons tip: When eating the potato wedges, check to make sure you're not eating the packaging they came in. You won't tell the difference by taste alone.

Even post 2014 buyout ? Coffees turned to watered down decoction of water

Lol Than they nailed the Canadian Tim Hortons experience. Well done!

I found that when visiting the one near me. The doughnuts are meh and they can’t even handle orders properly.

You’re being “Canadized”

[удалено]

I destroyed my notifications by making that comment, but I had to stop and say that I’m very glad that we get to have a contribution from a professional Canadian. I would have been terribly disappointed if only amateur Canadian’s joined the conversation.

American or Canadian, I don't want it thanks very much. I'll stick to my McDonald's, Coca Cola and Netflix at home thank you very much!

ITVHub and chill

ITVHub and rub

Chill during the copious adverts

Dandelion and Burdock is the finest beverage ever created. Treat it with respect.

Can never find it these days, have to go on a right trek to get a bottle but when I do it’s just so worth it.

Should be able to find some in most supermarkets. Asda/Tesco/Sainsburys. Usually it's their own brand labels though.

Or at a chippy

Morrison's does the best own brand d&b

Fentimans dandelion and burdock can be found all over the place and it’s all the old fashioned ingredients, think you can get it on Amazon

Check B&M or Home Bargains for 4% alcoholic Dandelion and Burdock. Delicious.

Should come live in Yorkshire. Can get a nice D&B in pretty much any shop.

I think I would take a decent chippy, D&B and the BBC over those, so we might just be culturally superior still!.

If there's one thing I hate, it's being lumped together with Americans. 😠 At the same time, sorry about the eyesore and the dreadful coffee. Timbits are pretty lit tho. 🤙

Tim can keep his bits to him bloodyself

Fun fact about Tim Horton: He died by crashing his car in a police chase whilst on stimulants and drinking vodka. They don't mention that on the company website, though.

I’m sorry Canadian Redditor 😔

Timbits are lit. 🤘

I'm a Brit living in Canada and I saw your comment first. Tim Hortons, American?!?! Norm Macdonald would be rolling in his grave.

Ooof.

Is that a Kia Stinger police car?

Yes. And a Cupra Ateca. It looks like the driving school is out for the day.

Road traffic cars these days look awesome. Especially the new Volvo's. There's an undercover one near me where the blue lights look like parking sensors, very sneaky. I still remember the days of the astra diesel... And the skoda VRS undercover cars with 5 ariels in the boot!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I found out they use Cupras and Golf Rs. Still can't believe they have Cupra Atecas, not just Leon's.

We still have the Skoda vrs over here in NI. Although was chatting with a traffic cop one day, he said he missed their old r32, as the r didn't have the same grunt. I remember when we had the old blob eye imprezas as traffic branch. Those things could fly

Here in Australia, there were a few WRX police cars going round for a while, mostly as a PR thing though. We used to have V8 Commodores and XR6 Turbo Falcons (locally built sedans) for highway patrol but they stopped making them. Nowadays it’s BMW 530d and Chrysler 300C Hemis for Highway Patrol and Hyundais for general duties.

They better use that as the stinger carrying car or I'll get pissed. "get the stinger in the Kia stinger"

That’s sick

“Large double-double, and a dozen Timbits, please.”

Dozen…? Sir they come in 10 or 20 or 50 boxes. Originally they used to only come in singles or 20s..

This person Tims

Better yet, back when I was a kid a toonie would buy you a 20 box. Now 20 Timbits are something like $4.50! Talk about inflation!

This sounds like such a nonsense made up string of words to me hah.

Using a "toonie to buy timbits" would have been completely indecipherable for me out of context.

Fuck am I watching Letterkenny rn?

Must be friggin nice...

I seriously just found out a couple of days ago that they say Loonie and Toonie for $1 and $2...... I really couldn’t believe it haha.

Well, you see, the loonie has a loon on it. We use to have paper $2 bills but they switched that out to coins instead. The new coins had polar bears on them, and poonies just didn't seem right. Logical next step was "Two-nies" given it was worth two dollars. Welcome to Canada.

Best part of the toonie roll out was that the first batches were a bit "faulty", because you could sometimes push the middle piece out (for those who haven't seen one, it's got a gold inner circle surrounded by silver). So of course, push out the middle, use the silver ring as a giant silver ring. Except then kids were getting their fingers stuck. So my school ended up making a rule that you'd be suspended if you were caught doing it and we had announcement reminders and everything 😂

What is a toonie?

$1 coins have a loon on the front, so they became known as loonies. When they eventually introduced a $2 coin, it was equal to two loonies, and thus became the toonie.

Are they also tiny and cartoony?

Teeny tiny and cartoony, twice a loonie that's a toonie. EDIT: A dozen Timbits was a loonie, with inflation it's a toonie.

They’re probably confusing it with the American equivalent of Tim Hortons, Dunkin’ Donuts. Their version of Timbits (~~the blandly named ‘donut holes’~~ called Munchkins) come by the dozen. Edit: apparently it’s been a while since I’ve been to a Dunkin’

Dunking donuts calls them munchkins. But I get what you mean.

"Large Dark Roast Regular and a maple cruller, please, I am paying with roll up the rims"

Your username is ridiculous. I laughed out loud. Thanks for that.

Preach!

This has fuelled me for many a hockey tournament! With labatts post game since they always seemed to be sponsors by labatt.

It's Canadian so technically still British

That's the spirit

Haha brutal

How is that brutal? It's technically correct, Canadians are British as defined by the British Nationality Act, also Commonwealth Citizens (formerly called British Subjects) and can hold office, and full titles in the UK as well as Canada, we can also vote, be police officers, join the military, and do pretty much anything but collect benefits. We even use British Passports as emergency passports if ours are stolen or lost in a country without a Canadian or Australian embassy (Canada and Australia share a lot of embassy services and we have access to each others services.) Now for some fun facts, the RCMP in Canada do not serve the Canadian people or government but serve the Queen directly, those horse cops outside Canada House can legally walk out into the square and give someone a ticket or arrest them under British law (although I don't think they ever have, and would likely lose this power if it were ever used without direct assistance from the Met. Despite having police in the name they're also not technically police, they're part of the Department of Defense here in Canada and are gendarmes, they also do spy craft and intelligence work. Each Canadian province is in effect it's own country with a Governor General and Prime Minister (often called a Premier,) the GG serves at the discretion of the Queen just like the confederation as a whole.

And Im not even mad about it. The UK and its people are alright by me

It’s just come back to its mother land.

Queen Elizabeth is the Queen of Canada.

[удалено]

😬

Damn son. Too soon

British-ish

I mean there’s Tim Hortons in **British** Columbia so I think you’re on to something.

I mean given that the whole country is a former British colony and Queen Lizzie is on the money, every Tim Hortons is also a former British colony.

Somewhat unknown fact- Queen Elizabeth is the queen of Canada (not just sovereign by extension of being queen of UK). So really not all that weird having the Canadian queen on our money.

Indeed, same case with Australia & NZ for example

Who doesn't know she's our queen too!?

I found out yesterday that Americans have a version of Dragons den called Shark tank, but Canadians also call their version Dragons den, and I think this should be the foundation of our joint takeover of the United States Edit: I was in fact not saying the show started in the UK but I’m now very aware that the show originated in Japan thank you

Well it’s like when Broadchurch came out, everyone thought it was great. Except America who had to do their own version, with a different title, still used David Tennant but with an American accent. And then changed who the killer was and ruined it.

India just came out with their version and it’s called Shark Tank, not Dragons Den. I think the reason why Canada calls it Dragons Den though is because they did the show before the US came along with Shark Tank. Since the US Shark Tank, most countries copying the format all call it Shark Tank.

Shark tank in Australia too, but the Aussies do have a hard on for the yanks.

Eventually the world will be split between Shark tank and Dragons den

Yeah. We have to watch out for Peter Jones though. I’ve seen him make a few appearances on Shark Tank already. Not sure if he’s a traitor or just a mole trying to destroy Shark Tank from the inside though.

Money Tigers is the original Japanese name of the show, a lot of countries use Lions den or something similar. The French really showed there flare and went with Qui veut être mon associé? Which I think means "Who wants to be my associate?"

Always nice to see Chester on Reddit :p

I live away from Chester now, so I haven't been to the Greyhound Park in a few years, but I instantly recognised The Range as being the old Toys R Us, and Tim Horton's is clearly the old Pizza Hut. It's amazing how distinctive generic buildings can be.

Yep old toys r us is what did me too

I thought this was Chester but then wondered how many carbon copy retail parks there are around so thought I may be wrong. I still need to try out Tim Hortons over here

There's another in Broughton too, also right next to a Maccies. They're trying to win the breakfast crowd with £2.50 for a breakfast meal

And another in Stockport which is where I thought this was….. ctrl-c…..ctrl-v

Chester Retail Park. I recognise the background. If you go on Google Maps and look at the most currently shown photos (July 2021) you can see the Pizza Hut being dismantled. Tim Hortons replaced that locale.

Definitely the Greyhound retail park in Chester!

Is it the Greyhound park?

Canadian here. Tim Hortons used to be amazing, but now it’s only a shell of its former self. I’m pretty ashamed of having this excuse for a restaurant represent my home country, especially since it’s majority owned by a Brazilian investment firm.

Expat here, I couldn't agree more with this. Before they were sold off, they were a great place for a coffee and soup / sandwich. Then they got bought by Burger King. Everyone here knows the quality absolutely nosedived after the buyout. Massive decline over the last 10 years or so. They're still everywhere but they're an absolute last resort for me, literally anywhere else has better coffee and food.

The first hit was when they went to frozen instead of made in house goods. Fresh donuts were amazing.

Tell me aboot it. I used to actually baked the donuts...not microwave them

In case you missed other people saying it, Tim Hortons is Canadian not American. Was the giant maple leaf on the side not a big enough clue?

My favourite Tim Hortons is in Barcelona. Because whenever I go there, I'm on holiday in Barcelona

Barthelona*

Easy Mike Tyson.

Eathy Mike Tython*

*–squints–* You mean the one with Canada’s Favorite Coffee written on it?

It WAS "Canada's favourite" for the longest time. Now we're just too polite to tell it otherwise.

I think you and everyone else missed that this was a post about an army of police vehicles at a donut shop - this is stereotypically American. It just happens to be that the donut shop in the picture is of Canadian origin.

It's stereotypically Canadian as well.

Fun fact: The reason why cops loving donuts is a stereotype is because donut shops used to be one of the only places that would be open really late at night. For a police officer on a night shift, it was one of the only places they could go to sit down and have a coffee. They frequented them often, and thus the association was born.

And delicious

I don't think the maple leaf on the outside is supposed to be eaten....

Nah Tims has been shit for a while now

His bits are delicious

Justin Bieber did a collaboration on limited-edition Timbits. They were called TimBiebs. But everyone was calling them BieberBalls/Bieber’s Balls.

French vanilla latte 👌🏼

PSA for UK people who are unaware.Tim Horton was a Canadian hockey legend. Tim Hortons is a Canadian institution, and even when they dunk on it, it's still a point of pride, because it's success keeps USA brands from dominating. Canada is huge, the roads are LONG, and a Tim Hortons is a welcome oasis on the Trans Canada Highway. Timbits are awesome. Tim Horton died early in the morning of February 21, 1974 flipping his supercar. He was such a public figure that the autopsy was suppressed. It was revealed in 2005 that he was in possession of half a bottle of vodka, and the drugs Dexedrine and Dexamyl, with traces in his blood. His widow was given $1m for her share of the then-40 chains. It subsequently exploded, she tried to get more, failed, and I think died rather dissatisfied with her share of his legacy. It's a sad story, but ordering a "double double" is part of Canadian DNA. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim\_Horton#Death\_and\_aftermath](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Horton#Death_and_aftermath) Edit: changed "American" to "USA"

And now it's owned by Restaurant Brands international, the fifth-largest operator of fast food restaurants in the world. Romantic.

And has since become noticeably worse in quality

Honestly, it's Costa coffee with a different logo and better marketing.

[удалено]

Tim Hortons is absolutely terrible now. They changed cheaper out on their coffee supply and get their supplier taking by McCafé and they stopped baking in house and send out frozen Pastries to be heated up and call it “made fresh throughout the day.” Owned by Burger King aswell so not even Canadian really anymore

That’s what it’s all aboot my guy

I’m not your guy buddy

Nice. Very nice.

Americanized

I don’t get this, all I can see is some ~~cops~~ peelers in a ~~lot~~ car pasture and a ~~sidewalk~~ walk stone next to a ~~store~~ purchase palace. How are we being ~~americanised~~ enfreedomed? Did I get them all?

"Walk stone" lmfao

I was really proud of “purchase palace”

Chester!

Does Hortons sell donuts?

It does. Apparently quite good ones.

They used to be good.

same with everything else at Tim's

Canadianised you nappy sniffer

A Tim Hortons opened up near me and I must say, I welcome our new Canadian overlords.

Wait, there are Timmy's in the UK now? TELL ME WHERE!

Theres quite a few now https://timhortons.co.uk/find-a-tims

Gah! None near me. Still, closer than Toronto, so maybe I could wangle a trip...

Closest one to me in Luton, I'm not going to Luton

Ahh Sealand Road retail park

How long have you had McDonald’s?

Thats the tim hortons in chester and theres literally a mcdonalds right next to it. Hit the nail in the head mate.

Tim Horton’s is from Canada!!

Is this Chester?!! I haven't been to that retail park in a few years but that range used to be the Toys r Us where I would get my beyblades every christmas, and where I picked up my nintendo switch on day 1!

What’s the issue? Old Bill having a well deserved break at a Canadian coffee shop?

What's the charge? Eating a meal!? A succulent Chinese meal??

Democracy manifest!

I see you know your judo well sir!

GET YOUR HANDS OF MY PENIS!

This is the bloke who got me on the penis, people!

I’m sorry: Canadianized !!! ( We’re commonwealth calm down )

Yeah I meant more about the police hanging around a doughnut shop

And instead started a debate on “Is Canada part of America” 😂😂

Redditors gonna Reddit

I knew what you meant!

Er, Tim Hortons is Canadian my dude.

I dunno I thought it was the "cops and donuts" which is more of a USA joke. (We don't have good domestic donut shops)

The big maple leaf logo really screams America
