I also continue to be horrified at the idea of TimBits given how Tim Horton died. For those of you that do not know the story, he died by flipping his car at 100 miles an hour and smearing himself along a stretch of the QEW between St Catherine's and Hamilton - bits of Tim everywhere.
Thanks, I needed a bit of dark humor today

aahh The Horton/Stanley defence line for the Leafs. A great memory.
As a west coaster, the idea of Leafs and a great memory is just wrong. It reminds that for years the NHL refused to let anyone from the west play for the Stanley Cup. That the league stopped Vancouver, and other cities, from having a team in the NHL for decades.
The owners of Toronto, Montreal and Detroit spend several decades stopping hockey. I can never be a fan those teams, especially given that Detroit is formed from Victoria's team.

I agree. Don't really like their coffee, don't eat doughnuts, but I have to say I was damned grateful to see a Tim Horton's the two times I've driven across Canada, just because I knew I'd get a half decent sandwich there.

As to it being a 'safe place' to eat when on the road. I find that there is always some sort of local greasy spoon type of restaurant when you turn off of the highway - I have yet to go to one of them and not have better food than a Tim Horton's.
For years I did make use of the Tim Horton's in Chilliwack when driving back to Lillooet from Vancouver late at night, ie leaving the city after ten pm. I would hit that TH and get a large coffee and some donuts and use that caffeine and sugar to keep me going for the next few hours. The TH in Chilliwack is open 24/7.

Maybe I have unusual teenagers, but neither will eat there or at others because of the fat and sodium levels.
Bernard was it you who posted about Timmy's history?

I agree with Bernard. On road trips we'd find something other than the cookie-cutter fast food joints.

Not me that posted any of that stuff. They are also no longer owned by Wendy's
My sons have basically wanted to avoid burger type fast food since watching Fast Food Nation.
