Does Tim Horton’s nostalgic take on Canada include a return to Canada’s past systemic discrimination?
Let’s give the new licensing agreement a pass, and tell Tim’s we won’t be back until it’s over. (Or ever?)

If you had told me a decade ago that one day we would discover a cabal of rich pedophiles who had preyed on hundreds if not thousands of girls on a private island and hardly anyone would be held accountable, I would’ve called you stone cold crazy.
