“We know that these drugs traveled all the way from Mexico, over the United States’ southern border, and then made their way here to Canada where we stopped and seized them,” said Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw at a press conference Tuesday, Jan. 21.
wise_pancake ( @wise_pancake@lemmy.ca ) 43•13 days agoCan those guys not secure their own borders?
World’s largest defence budget and where does it go?
Sad.
If they want maple syrup and real egg sandwiches they should get their borders under control.
NotSteve_ ( @NotSteve_@lemmy.ca ) 10•13 days agoI feel like maybe we should tariff this country to hell for not preventing all these drugs and guns coming over from their border?
jared ( @jared@mander.xyz ) English9•13 days agoWait, what’s a “real egg sandwich”?
wise_pancake ( @wise_pancake@lemmy.ca ) 11•13 days agoPossibly my favourite Doug Ford moment. Taking time out of his press conference to shill Tim Hortons

Tiefling IRL ( @tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 3•12 days agoTBF, Tim’s is amazing. As far as chain places go, it’s got way better food and coffee than Dunkin (though Dunkin’s wins in the donut category). I never say no to Tim’s.
Grimpen ( @Grimpen@lemmy.ca ) 4•12 days agoI don’t know about amazing… but perfectly adequate.
Their doughnuts are fine, and are always fresh with the Always Fresh™ system, but not as good as in the old days, or old Robin’s Doughnuts. But they’re fine, and pretty cheap. You can probably get much better doughnuts at a local bakery, but it will almost certainly be somewhat more expensive. They ditched the Long John though! An insult to BC. Typical Ontario based chain.
Some coffee snobs will dump on their coffee, but it’s okay. You’ll rarely hear any sincere complaints from habitual coffee drinkers. There is some stiff competition on the fast food coffee front though, McDonald’s scooped their old coffee supplier, and lots of people do seem to prefer McDonald’s coffee now. I still give the nod to Timmie’s though.
Overall, I figure Timmie’s is a solid B+ among fast food chains. There are a few gems on their menu though, their steeped tea is solid. I guess technically you could get better tea at David’s Tea, but there is only one of those left, and besides for a basic “builder’s tea” it’s just a good value.
Tiefling IRL ( @tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 3•12 days agoI mean, you can’t really compare chain coffee to ye olde local shop. They both have their time and place. But yeah, B+ is pretty accurate. I really enjoy their habanero chicken wrap and cheese twists. Also agree that McD has weirdly good coffee for a chain, but I try to avoid them in general.
TBF, I’ve also been to a lot of local shops that use horribly burnt coffee, so they’re more of a wildcard than a guarantee. Tims is consistent and fucking everywhere
Grimpen ( @Grimpen@lemmy.ca ) 1•12 days agoGood point on the consistency. Timmie’s coffee is very consistent. Regardless of your personal opinions on Timmie’s coffee in general, you can be certain that the coffee you get tomorrow in Kapuskasing will be the same as the coffee you got yesterday in Kitimat.

Maybe we need some tariffs against the USA until they clean up their act along the border?
BedSharkPal ( @BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca ) 12•13 days agoI mean we get more fentanyl from them already. Not to mention all the fucking guns.
JuxtaposedJaguar ( @JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml ) 5•12 days agoCanada needs to stop subsidizing the US with its fentanyl trade deficit
Onno (VK6FLAB) ( @vk6flab@lemmy.radio ) 21•13 days agoSo … sanctions and tariffs?
Laser ( @Punchshark@lemmy.ca ) English16•13 days agoWe need to build a wall to keep muricans out!
shittydwarf ( @shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English16•13 days agoMaybe we should build a wall…
Krik ( @Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 12•13 days ago…and let 'murica pay for it.

Freshparsnip ( @Freshparsnip@lemm.ee ) English10•13 days agoWell, what does Trump have to say for himself? Why is this somehow not his fault but would be any other leader’s fault?
CircaV ( @CircaV@lemmy.ca ) English6•13 days agoHe only knows how to blame others and can dish it out but. He can’t take it though, just like every bully that ever existed. He can call our PM governor and call into question our border and our sovereignty with the largest platform on earth but he can’t face the reality that they harm us with their guns and drugs and they can’t handle that our PM called him by his name, and not his honorary title. The US is a craven, pathetic, fash country.
GreyEyedGhost ( @GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca ) 2•12 days agoCall him Capo Trump. He’d probably think it’s a compliment.
JuxtaposedJaguar ( @JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml ) 1•12 days agoCalling prime minister Trudeau “governor” is fine but calling president Trump “Donald” is too far.
CircaV ( @CircaV@lemmy.ca ) English8•13 days agoThe firehose of illegal drugs and guns just pouring in to Canada from the US is a national security issue for Canada. We should and must act accordingly.

HeadfullofSoup ( @HeadfullofSoup@kbin.earth ) 5•13 days agoWe should raise tariffs each time a illegal weapon is found coming from the US that will be a augmentation of 1000% tariffs before the week-end
