Tim Hortons and Enbridge

Alberta Conservatives: What next—a CRA revenge audit of Tim Hortons As everybody in the country now knows, Alberta and Conservatives had a mass freakout over Tim Hortons' decision to decline screening Enbridge ads on its in-house TV screens, according to Vancouver Observer. The news of Tim Hortons' decision was tweeted by the company at 8:10 a.m. eastern time Thursday, responding to a huge online pushback. Such is the current nature of Canada tin-pot faux democracy, as we shape-shift by the hour into the Dominion of Enbridge. While critics blame environmental activists, Timmys was probably more dismayed by vitriolic public response on Reddit when Enbridge itself announced the agreement several days earlier. At 10:26 a.m., Conservative strategist Stephen Taylor tweeted his displeasure with Timmys, and intention to switch to McDonalds. Following the Timmys announcement, Buzzfeed documented a virtually instantaneous domino effect within Harper cabinet. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
