Just a little reminder.

Pisses me off to no end that they use the Canadian identity for marketing when they sold out decades ago.

Also their coffee and food has been shit for a long time too, coincidence? I think not.

Returning from Europe to Canada one of the first things that strikes me is how crappy Canadian fast food all is. Even in the UK, which was once famous for bad food, there are all kinds of places now to get good food and drinks on the go. When you get back to Canada it's so grim to see only Tim Hortons in the airport, with its overpriced stale pastries, leathery donuts and tasteless coffee.

I have to agree unfortunately. I've spent a lot of time in the states and have eaten my fair share of McDonalds while living here. I visited my home town in Canada a bit ago, and the Mcdonalds tastes so weird. It wasn't bad perse, but it wasn't exactly good either.

Frankly, probably for the best. Have Canadians save money cooking for themselves or going to places more deserving. Always explore your local non-chain options.
