Hey, sorry for a negative post in this community.

Tim Hortons (it’s a fast food brand quite popular in Canada for those who’re confused) is partnering up with the Harry Potter IP to launch Harry Potter themed products for some time.

JK Rowling, who’s a massive massive transphobe and who has caused a lot of pain to our trans friends earns quite a lot of money from the IP. Every penny you spend on this IP directly contributes to her financial growth.

Please boycott Tim Hortons (at least for the duration of this event if not forever).

Trans rights are human rights, and fuck all individuals and institutions that violate/promote violation of human rights.

      I wasn’t boycotting them, I just rather eat the gravel in their parking lot than their stale bagels.

        Well, bad food and shitty coffee lol. But actually, they were bought out by an American company years ago (taco bell I think?) and keep portraying themselves as this great Canadian company. It’s just gross and I try not to purchase from shitty companies.

        Also, as a general rule because I am lucky enough to live in a town full of great coffee shops, I just prefer local.

          Yeah all that is true. Their Canadian stuff pissed me off years ago, and I’m not at all shocked that they’re actually american.

    I already boycott it so much that I don’t even use the 2 or 3 gift cards sitting in my junk drawer still full as when they were given to me.

        The problem with using them is the food is such absolute garbage that indont want to eat it. I used to use them to buy donuts for work but I haven’t had a crew of people that I work with to get them for.

        Soon I’m starting a new job and there will be a team of guys that I’ll be supervising and I will bribe them with treats to get on their good side.

    One time I was walking past Krispy Kreme, and I wanted a donut. So I looked in, and saw they were running a Harry Potter promotion. I went in and complained to the cashier that those promo signs are inappropriate, because Harry Potter is racist. The cashier gave Me a free donut.

    I’ll do you one even better. Timmy’s has been on my shitlist since I went there and had, no question, the worst coffee in my life. This is what Canadians say is so great?

      No, most of us hate it too. They just spend an insane amount of money on marketing themselves as all-Canadian which is funny considering they’re not even a Canadian company anymore.

      Tim Horton’s people dilute the shit coffee with dairy and sugar to kill the taste. It’s coffee for people who hate coffee.

    I’ll make a sign and stand outside one, at least to try to make sure people are informed.
