I remember in the 1990s, Coffee Time was EVERYWHERE.

And the the Tim Hortons takeover began...

Now it’s hard to find a doughnut shop that bakes their own doughnuts rather than the centrally pre-baked, frozen and locally thawed crap Tims and Coffee Time serve.

There is coffee time close where I live, it is jokingly called the 60+ coffee shop. They do sell day old doughnuts in huge bags, one bag is $2.

There’s also a Coffee Time close to me... along with 6 goddamn Tim Hortons near me as well.

Robbins for sure, I spent a summer in Atikokan (3hrs west of Thunder Bay) in 2013. That was the only coffee shop they had there.

That’s like the Arctic circle n Shit. I get cold if the part of Canada I’m in is higher than Michigan .

It only close to the 49th parallel, pretty far from the arctic circle.

I’ve never heard of coffee time. But then I live about 80km from the nearest Horton’s anyway, so... ¯\_()_/¯

The U of S had three on campus when I left, and I’ve heard they have plans to/already have opened a fourth. Craziness.

That may as well be Baffin island! I like living surrounded by Americans! it’s like being there, but with free health care.

*Cough* University of Saskatchewan *cough* it’s like a 25,000-student campus, inside a city that already has a ton of Timmies locations, with another three at least within five minutes of campus.

Fool! Canada only gets better the further North you get from the 49th. Those parts that are below aren’t really worth even driving through.

Yeah ok. says the guy who lives in Saskatchewan. Definitely worth driving THROUGH.

Last time I was there I remember driving from The city that rhymes with fun , to Moose Jaw. a train came up and passed us, the whole way.... I couldn’t see both ends! then we saw some buffalo and my grandfather drove down a path into a field where he swears there used to be a road...

And I’m a Riders fan.

U of S eh? Agriculture or animal husbandry ?

(JK, some of my relatives used to teach there a long time ago)

Engineering. Mechanical, if you need to know. Also I live in Manitoba, but whatevs.

SK gets a horrible rep from people who’ve only ever driven the #1. It goes through what is easily the worst, most boring part of the province. Same in ‘Toba. As I said, things definitely improve as you go north from the border.

I’ve never been to Manitoba. Somehow, my family ended up in saskatch in the 30s-40s and some stayed out there.

Are there a lot of MechEng gigs out there? I have a buddy doing the Uranium mine thing but, it never struck me as a hotbed of manufacturing.

Mostly resource extraction, yeah. Potash is bigger than uranium, oil patch, coal (ugh I know), metals up north. There’s also heavy equipment manufacturing to support that, and obviously agricultural equipment as well. A little bit of transportation stuff too. Manitoba’s much the same, but also has some fairly major aerospace operations. I do know an unfortunate number of mechanical engineers who end up in project management or who spend their lives designing HVAV systems though.
