Hello listeners Jordan here. I just want to let you know that you can listen to nighttime early and add free on Amazon music

Include it with Prime You are tuned to the nighttime podcast focused on the fringe of Canada. Hello listeners. I always get a bit uncomfortable heading into this sort of episode,

but I'm not going to let controversy stop me from

following my gut. In this episode of nighttime I'm going to be discussing a

topic some hold so sacred and so dear that to them I'm going to be walking all over the very

fabric of Canada. I'm sure this episode will cost me a segment of my

listeners but I have no choice but to talk about this.

Let me just take a deep breath and then we'll get into it.

Once upon a time I loved Tim Hortons. I drank their coffee, I ate their fresh baked goods,

but sadly those days are gone. The love affair is long over. To put it bluntly, I think they suck now. But like I said, it wasn't always

this way, and that's why I'm left with these burning questions. When did Tim Hortons lose their way? Why did they lose their way?

And will they ever get back the magic they used to have?

The answers to these questions, however, were sitting right in front of my nose.

I suppose I was just a bit too upset to realize it.

It wasn't until I happened upon a piece of investigative journalism in a McClain's magazine that the full picture of this portrayal became apparent.

The piece was titled How Tim Hortons Lost Its Way.

And as I read it, the veil of marketing that obscured the slow

decline of Tim Hortons was forcefully pulled away, and Canada's dirtiest secret was left exposed.

Some of the points raised in that article will be discussed and expanded upon in this episode

as fortunately I was able to connect with the brave soul who wrote the piece.

Our conversation is what we're about to hear.

So let's get into it.
