Tim hortons is not Canadian, first of all. Like many canadian icons it has been bought up by the Americans, which tells us, that Canadians like money, preferably American money.
Secondly Tim hortons is now moving into the US market. Even though it's not Canadian anymore, this tells us that Canadians are not afraid of competing on the world stage anymore. (This is a big chance from the late 1980s and the fear of free trade.. or it's the fact that free trade has been forced down our throats and we now have to accept it.. or they tell us we do..)
Third, Canadians like to feel comfortable. That's why people go to tim Horton's. Not because the coffee is good, but because we know it and like it.
Fourth, Tim Horton's is dominant in the east, but not as much in the west, at least until recently.. So it tells us that the people in eastern Canada, dominate this country.
That's all for now..
