For those of you who don't live in the golden horseshoe. (Toronto and surrouding area) you might not understand how big this company is. It has a virtual monopoly over ten million people. The line ups on any given hour are 15-20 cars deep and the same inside. This is a canadain pastime, going to "tim's" two, three, and even four time a day,(not to mention the canadain army had to build one in kanahar to keep the troops happy). is just a part of the culture, beer, hocky and Tim hortons are the true opiats of the canadian masses. It has cut it's liabilities in half this last quater and will continue to grow with, or with out Amarican revenue. "For myself I am an optimist-It does not seem to be much use being anything else"
