"argues for her right to live in a word that no one really deserves to live in (with respect to the kind of art that others create)"

Americans butcher scones.

No, I'm joking. I don't think Tim Hortons's clientele is pro-Harper. Actually, I can't imagine anyone that is pro-Harper and I'm including his mother in that statement.

I'm a grad school TA. Honestly, there have been one or two moments where I thought a student might be flirting, but more likely they just wanted to get into my class next quarter.

I've heard rumors of one or two TAs going down to Undergrad Bone Town, but it just seems so not worth it for several reasons, least of all…

NOPE. Students flirting with me was supremely uncomfortable. No matter how attractive they were, I knew they weren't into me. They were into the fantasy and it was creepy as hell, even when they weren't.

I have a question as a man. "You know, Kirsten, you're even pretty when you're fat,".

No seriously dude, Dunkin is some terrible, awful, ridiculously terrible shit. I grew up in a fairly non-Timmified part of the country, so only came to Tim Hortons in my adult life. It is Americans who are wrong here.

Canadian here and I have to agree that Tim Hortons is pretty mediocre for the love that is showered on it. However, a lot of the love comes from their community involvement (see Timbits hockey) and their being community hanging out places (especially in small towns).

Here, this is my first Kinja post and I am a long time reader, who is shy and does not like to partake in internet comments. But I cannot let you trash talk Tim Hortons like this. My darling Tim Hortons is superior to all other food chains, in that it is cheap and mildly flavourful. The post-coffee stomach cramps are…

Can't get a decent cup of tea* in the US to save one's life, so I think we can call it even.

I'm a Canadian girl, love Timmies & Timbits. I'm kinda sad and maybe a little insulted about the Timmy hate in this article.

Remember the last time you pissed us off?

"For those Americans not yet familiar with Tim Hortons: it's basically like an infinitely shittier Canadian version of Dunkin' Donuts."

Nope. This is so wrong. I'm not Canadian, but A) Dunkin Donuts is the effing worst, & B) Tim Hortons is delicious.

Cuz it's gross?

I am legitimately upset about this. (Canadian here, shockingly.) Is it dumb to be upset about this? Yes. Do I even like Timmy's that much? No but... IT'S A CULTURAL ICON GODDAMNIT.

Fuck a Starbucks right in its mediocre, overpriced ass. RAWR. Timmy's 4EVA.

Pinkham, this has been a very emotional post for me. Let me tell you why.

Okay, I'm neither American nor Canadian, but having lived in Canada for 10 years, I'd say Canada kicks American ass, and fuck a Starbucks.

I don't know what this is. Everything about it is just horrible. Even if she was going for an edgy look it fails.

Oh Captain, my Captain!
