Even for us Americans. I stop at Timmy's the moment I spy one after crossing the border. An Apple Fritta and a reg coffee, milk (not cream) and no sugar.

Delighted to find one in Connecticut just off of I-95 on the way to Foxwood's Casino.

Yahoo. I will get my Timmy fix tomorrow ... going to Montreal for the weekend.

Typical...a bunch of tea drinking Brits who know nothing of coffee come to our shores and start trying to destroy our cultural icons and religious freedoms.

Next thing you know they'll have us drinking ale and eating curry for every meal.

Oh I do that. It's generally quicker than sitting in the line-up contributing to global warming. Getting Canadians out of their cars and into coffee shops/fast food restaurants is however I fear an uphill battle.
