Just a tiny bit more Tim Hortons in Dubai, I promise

Thanks to Dubaiwalla for pointing out Michael De Adder's cute editorial cartoon (I miss those! You don't get them easily online) in Toronto's Metro.

Anonymous said...: Tim Hortons is a poor substitute for starbucks. In Canada people mix national pride with affordable prices and get the lousy quality that you can only get at Tim. There is basically nothing special about Tim: the decor is shabby, the coffee is just hot colored water and the bagels are tasteless. i see no reason why people outside canada should support Tim the same way Canadians insist (stubbornly) patronize it back in canada!; October 2, 2011 at 2:25 AM
