Tim Horton's doing some serious damage control. How many workers do you think they paid to stay home while they filmed this one? NOTHING like ANY Tim's you walk into. Crappy, inconsistent coffee. Non fresh donuts. Meals that are now snack size Uncleanliness Drive through staff who cannot speak...

Trouble is brewing for Tim Hortons as Dunkin' Donuts returns to Canada Great news! Tim Hortons is about to get some much-needed direct competition on the coffee and donuts front. After an eight-year hiatus, Dunkin’ Donuts is coming back to Canada. As reported in the Toronto Sun by the superb food professor Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, Dunkin’ Donuts was once a formidable player in the Canadian coffee and donuts sector, especially in Quebec. Dr. Charlebois is the director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University, a co-host of The Food Professor Podcast, and a visiting scholar at McGill University. He knows his stuff when it comes to the food and foodservice sectors. And now comes word that Dunkin’ is back – and it means business, with as many as 700 locations opening in Canada beginning later this year. The player behind the return of Dunkin’ Donuts is Foodtastic. Foodtastic is a Montreal-based restaurant consolidator that has a reputation for aggressively acquiring and revitalizing brands across Canada. This includes such chains as Pita Pit, Second Cup, Freshii and Quesada. Dr. Charlebois notes that, unlike many foreign operators trying to enter Canada, Foodtastic actually understands the Canadian and Quebec markets intimately. And this understanding is crucial for success. So, the question arises: Why is Dunkin’ Donuts set to return now? Dr. Charlebois says the decision to revive this iconic U.S. brand in the Great White North is all about identifying weakness in our domestic market. He notes: “For years, Tim Hortons dominated Canada’s quick-service coffee market with extraordinary efficiency. It wasn’t just a coffee chain; it became part of Canada’s cultural identity. But dominance can create complacency, and the Canadian marketplace today is very different from the one Dunkin’ left behind. Consumer loyalty has weakened. Canadians are far more willing to switch brands than they were 20 years ago. Inflation has changed buying habits. Consumers are increasingly critical of value, quality, consistency and service. At the same time, the coffee market itself has evolved dramatically.” He is right on the money. What’s more, I think Dr. Charlebois is far too polite in his analysis of Tim’s reputational downfall. I mean, let’s be honest: most of the food Tim Hortons serves up these days is practically inedible. As for the chain’s decades-old slogan, “Always Fresh”, that’s an outright fallacy. Tim Hortons stores used to bake donuts and muffins from scratch. But about 20 years ago, they got rid of their bakers, a decision that was driven by reducing labour costs. Now the stores heat up par-baked items, which are nicknamed frozen pucks, in convection ovens. This is a task that’s easily done by those making minimum wage, and without any knowledge of baking. “Always Fresh” indeed… And maybe it’s just me, but why do so many Tim Hortons stores seem so shabby? And why are the washrooms so frequently filthy? It’s like nobody in charge seems to care anymore. Which is why Dr. Charlebois notes that, “Ironically, Dunkin’s return may say less about the strength of Dunkin’ and more about the reality that Tim Hortons is no longer viewed as invincible. That alone makes this story worth watching carefully.” And I would add that even though Tim Hortons wraps itself in the Maple Leaf, Tim’s is no longer a Canadian-owned chain but part of a multinational conglomerate. It’s Canadian in name only, and I’m sure the man it is named after is rolling in his grave right now. I'm going to give the CEO of Foodtastic eight figures worth of free consulting advice: If you want to really resonate with Canadian customers who are pissed off with Tim Hortons, stage a press conference in which you announce that your company plans to hire Canadians to staff Dunkin’ Donuts shops, and that you will not take advantage of the Temporary Foreign Worker program. In recent years, Tim Hortons has earned the dubious nickname of “Singh Hortons”. Sure, this company loves selling products to Canadians. But it is increasingly not hiring Canadians as staffers – even though Tim’s is a multibillion-dollar restaurant chain that certainly does not need government handouts. I am certain this would be a winning communications strategy for Foodtastic as it resurrects Dunkin’ Donuts in these parts. Talk about irony in this day and age of “elbows up”! Will an American-based coffee and donut chain actually end up being more Canadian than Tim Hortons? Can’t wait to see what transpires in the months ahead. REPORT by David Menzies:

Two Serbs debating on Serbian national TV… and one of them says openly to the host: “You are Albanian. There is nothing to hide.” Imagine that. For decades, people in Novi Pazar, Niš, Tutin, Kruševac and across Sanxhak have been told who they are supposed to be. Forced to declare themselves as “Slavs”, as “Serbs”, as something that fits a political narrative. But identity is not created by politics. It is not erased by pressure. It is not changed by fear. Blood, language, traditions, songs, surnames, old photographs, forgotten graves , they all tell a story. A story that cannot be silenced forever. How many families know the truth but are afraid to speak? How many were assimilated through religion, through schools, through state pressure? How many were told: “Be this… or you don’t belong”? You cannot erase roots. You cannot rewrite ancestry. You cannot delete history just because it makes some uncomfortable. If over 50% of people in places like Novi Pazar, Niš, Tutin or Kruševac have Albanian origin, then that truth deserves discussion, not denial. This is not about hate. This is not about division. This is about identity. This is about truth. This is about people having the right to know who they are. History is complicated. But silence is worse. No one should be ashamed of their roots. No one should be forced to deny their ancestry. And no one should be afraid to say: “We are who we are.”

[Talking about self-worth and insecurities] 👨🏻‍🚀: I want everyone who has ever felt like they weren't pretty, they weren't attractive, they weren't good looking, they weren't strong enough, they had insecurities, or that they might feel like they're exploding from overthinking. And I'm not talking about one of these six, i'm talking about all of them. If you have ever had a situation where felt all six of these, I want you guys to type 1 into the chat. 👨🏻‍🚀: So, the point of that experiment wasn't to invalidate what you're feeling, because you're valid for feeling that. I think that is a common human emotion that we all have a problem we're dealing with. Our insecurities are the things that make us lash out, make us feel like we're not enough. And the thing about it, is no matter how rich you are, no matter how handsome you are, no matter how pretty you are, no matter how strong you are, no matter how great you are, no matter how intelligent you are, no matter how competent you are, there's always gonna be moments where this comes to you and I think the best thing to think in this situation is that yes i'm feeling this things, to validate yourself. You're not wrong for feeling this way. There's nothing wrong with you. Everyone feels this. 👨🏻‍🚀: But, during those times, i think it is very important to remember the moments in your life where you did feel worthy. Where you felt like you were just enough for that one person that you're talking to. Or you felt like you aced in a certain exam or you did really well in one thing. I think you remember those moments and then you push on for more of those moments so that eventually, in your life, you stop thinking about things that- or situation that made you think you're not worthy and start pondering more , recycling more of things that made you feel worthy. yunamseng?

Force talking about Mafox being able to speak 🦊🍅 #fforce_ อตฟกล้ามใหญ่ใจปุ้กปิ้ก 👤: Have you talked about Tomafox? 🦊: I have~~ 🦊: Oh but I can elaborate a bit. Like giving extra details. In English, they call it a special section 👤: Ahh 😂😂 🦊: I'd better ask my fans. To all the ForceBook fans, do you want Tomafox to speak or not? 🦊: Before jumping to the answers, I'd like to give some opinions. There will be two on this 👤: Okay go ahead 🦊: From my online research, the first opinion was "I want my grandchild to be able to speak", because, if putting it directly, there are children (mascots) who can speak and there are that cannot. Therefore, if according to the common logic.. like from the fans' perspective, they want (the mascots) to be able to speak. Because then, they can talk to the grandchild and things like that.. 🦊: BUT BUT BUT! There was other people saying they didn't want (the mascots) to speak because they were afraid the mascots would lose their character 👤: Ahhhh 🦊: There are two perspectives. None of them are wrong tho 👤: True true! 🦊: Let's say, for some (of the mascot) that can't speak, I feel like there is some sort of appeal to that too. But I'm also not sure whether such appeal would fade once they were able to talk. Or maybe they could become even cuter?!!! Who knows right? No one can ever tell! Therefore, in regard to this topic, it's really up to each of our own's opinions. 🦊: But for this, I want to ask ForceBook fans that, if you want Tomafox to speak, press 1! If you don't want Tomafox to speak, press 2! Have everyone pressed yet? 1 or 2?? 1 or 2 which one is receiving more responses? 🦊: Don't forget that, whenever I do a livestream, it will be circulated somewhere because people be recording me all the time 🦊: 1 - I want Tomafox to be able to speak! 2 - I don't want Tomafox to be able to speak because I'm afraid he will lose his character! Please think through!!
