one of the Tim's in Hamilton is known by the locals as "Murder Tims". it is conveniently about a two-minute walk from the hotel I stay at when I'm there for work.

and I've seen more open drug use outside this single Tims than all the dispensaries I have patronized in my lifetime, combined

our very own anti-pot crusader, who knew

I've dedicated the last 6 years to studying and learning all about pot. The product has changed my life in many ways. I am not a user but I can appreciate it. I am not anti pot.

yeah I forgot about your pot stocks, fair enough

actually now that you mention it, the tim's in my area are actually pretty sketchy.

In every area. My wife (born and raised in the birthplace of the guadalajara and CNJG cartels) went try out a group last week that was meeting at a Timmies and came home telling me how sketchy it was inside in the evening.

Leslie and York mills?

yeah same, there are always multiple people passed out in front of some of ours.

I have to admit I didn't think people would defend one of the worst eyesores in the city so passionately. I mean it's fine if you feel that way but I don't understand the passion behind this one. I'm not upset at those who feel they look beautiful, you can feel that way it's fine.

Remind me. Does Ontario only have public liquor stores?

In Alberta it is the same as the the eye sores that always existed. Basically they are wherever a liquor store is.

tldr. The number of eye sores didn't change they just have a new sign out front

Tim's are a blight on our landscape.

And their coffee/food quality went to shit 10+ yrs ago and seems to get worse every time I grab an emergency bagel

Nothing is worse than the mcd’s in my hood.

And it’s a mcd’s thing. They closed it for a couple of weeks to do Reno’s last year, and i was expecting the crowd to migrate to the nearby a&w, which didn’t happen. They disappeared for a few weeks and then right back as soon as mcd’s reopened.

Calgary has one downtown on 6th or 7th Ave that is the all time sketchy champion. May as well just have one inside of a trap house.

hard liquor is thru the LCBO. beer is at the beer store, LC, and now some grocery stores and convenient stores. dunno if the convenient stores have beer yet or that is just coming soon. wine is same places as beer, minus the beer store.

I'm in Scarborough visiting family this week and I went to the McDesperate's at Kingston Rd. and Lawrence to grab breakfast. It's an absolute hellhole. Vagrants panhandling at the drive thru window and every entrance. While inside I saw a guy show up with a 4 liter water jug that he proceeded to fill at the soft drink dispenser. No one stopped him. Another black woman was talking loudly to no one in particular and yelling the N word repeatedly.

50 years ago I played my one and only season of organized soccer and our team was sponsored by that same McD's. We went there frequently and it was a nice clean restaurant with no escaped mental patients.

I blame FIFA.

0 in Richmond Hill since they're outlawed and I'm glad. They're an eyesore.

you know what might help your sore eyes problem? cannabis

Preston clearly took a drive through Roseneath and somehow thinks that represents all pot shops now.

The one next to Hess? Always called it the crackhead Tim's.

If you have to go see if they have the jalepeno bagle... only one that is close to okay. The rest taste like cardboard

The one and only

The one and only

I don't recall any murders but I see crackheads every time.
