Tim Hoarders

I shall first like to start with, the fact that not one person who knows me has ever seen me WITHOUT a coffee in the last twenty years.

That being said, I have given much of my money to Tim Horton's, along with second cups, bakers dozens, sunshine Joe's, instant, gas station, or greasy spoon. I refused Starbucks for obvious reasons….and well over a year ago I began my refusal and disgust of Tim Horton's...it all became clear to me. 

Tim Hortons is not unique in its socialist ideals, that many in our free world don't seem to even realize, yet demonize other countries for being so. 

First by focusing in on a national sport and emphasizing it more than when the man was actually alive

is only one part of the brainwash...

 

..next comes the children..  

Easy enough to make a few millions while leaving some for the kids, when we all know deep down these charities are often too charitable with themselves & their colleagues.  When I was a kid, communities sponsored the kids no one I ever knew went to camp & we turned out just fine, so I don't believe they are really in it for the kids, or they wouldn't fire expectant mothers because they got pregnant within the 6 month probation period ...this is corporate socialism against the family unit at its finest..I don't need reference for the things I ve seen with my own eyes.

   The police being ever present are also a way of adjusting to feeling unsafe in general.  There are many jobs that are dangerous and some that seem to demand respect, but none more than our paid baby sitters, the police.  But, my friends, that is NOT why they usually get free coffee and/or doughnuts...no, it is because the man in business with Tim Horton - Ron Joyce, was a police officer for 11 years, until he bought a Dairy Queen franchise looking to get rich.  It wasn't until the real Tim Horton died, in a car accident(?), that Royce bought the whole thing off the family for a mere one million.  Royce is now worth over one billion, but if you want to still believe he's working towards communities ask why they don't make their merchandise recyclable?

So when you see a cop getting a free coffee, know its not the respect for a dangerous job, its the club uniform. They have always and will always get free coffee & donuts

..but also ask the question, why don't fireman, or those who work for hospice? They have very stressful, dangerous jobs and have rarely been accused of corruption.

Another point is to the fact of the sheer number of ads and commercials. If a product is good enough it doesn't need a hundred ads or billboards...its just conditioning you for money. 

I try to avoid mass corporations. I shop only for what and I need and usually second hand or at least local. My cigarettes are provided by the Native Canadians. I don't even like watching other people play hockey, but I am Canadian & I was raised to believe that meant something.

In my short time here on this rock, I have changed my attitude greatly, or the world has changed it for me. 

 Just like Canadian Tire is not Canadian, Tim Horton's is not either. However, my distaste came long before the takeover. 

They employ several people, you say?  

Well, if you’ve known many people who’ve worked there, it is made up of mainly part time employees, and most of us know what that means regarding hours, wages, respect, and job security (pray you don’t get pregnant in the first six months= automatic dismissal). Besides the fact that they have run most small coffee shops out of business, ergo = people lost jobs, owners lost businesses, families lost homes.

The drive thru was not invented by Timmie's, but it definitely promotes worse habits than just coffee.  

 I must also mention the situation of Tim Hortons use of palm oil . Along with destroying forests full of endangered tigers & orangutans, it has caused widespread devastation for the local communities who are having their homes demolished & their forests of food destroyed for ever increasing palm oil plantations.

It is not the only product they could use, in fact it was less expensive to fry the goods in the back of the shop, than it is to order pre cooked, half frozen, machine folded dough from a Swiss company. Remember that when you see the giant transports hauling Timmies...

 I can’t fight big business by myself, all I can do is refuse to give them my dollars & spread the word about corporatism & its failings upon the human race.  Next time just drive past, go without, bring your own or just walk from the car to talk to someone from a locally owned shop, or a restaurant & order a cup of joe to go….or sit and have it with a piece of pie. I'm sure it will taste more like real coffee than any from Timmie's, you won't be ruining the environment, you won't be giving billionaires more loonies & you could be helping people who take pride in their product, keep their small business afloat.

...plus today will be National doughnut Day in honour of the ladies of the Salvation Army, but not at Timmies ... http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/it-s-national-donut-day-but-sadly-not-in-canada-1.1315378

#boycottTimHortons has to do with the recent ads Timmies was featuring regarding the tar sands...which I'm pretty sure everyone is against...that's another blog for another day..
