There may be a couple of more, but the above links explain why I don't patronize Tim Horton's.  Also, I can have fresh made coffee at home, with my french vanilla flavoured cream, anytime I want and without waiting in a drive-thru line for 20 minutes.  My coffee at home is significantly cheaper as well.  Although, I must admit, the lines in the drive-thru are getting less and less all the time.  More people are catching on about the company and not patronizing it.

Their bottom line is taking a serious hit and they are doing all that they can think of to bring it back up.  Today is the last day of their "Smile" campaign.  They advertised this as it has been happening every year.  It hasn't.  This is brand new.  Apparently, if you bought a smile cookie in the last week, 100% of the proceeds were going to a local charity.

The Tim Horton's in Dauphin, Manitoba announced its proceeds were going to the Whitmore School Playground Fund.

Since I don't patronize the establishment, I have no right to ask.  If you patronize Tim's, please ask for proof that 100% of the proceeds of smile cookies is going to a local charity.  They should not have any difficulty showing you the accounting.  They said they were going to do this in a national campaign.  They have opened the door to our questioning.

Please ask and when you find out, please message me or comment on this blog.  I would be delighted to know and publish which locations and what charities are benefitting from this generous campaign.

One of my saddest days in Winnipeg

Image
I felt compelled to attend an information meeting of the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre.  Compelled because it will be, not in my neighbourhood, but in my City Ward.  Compelled after reading Bruce's story and his family's wish to make this recovery centre his legacy.  Compelled because of the opposition to this centre.  I wanted my voice to be a positive one. Since the land has already been rezoned, the BORC is going to happen and the meeting was to update the community on progress and get input on a few minor details.   I didn't realize that it would be one of the saddest days I have experienced in Winnipeg.   When I arrived, I experienced the "white people". They were people dressed in white who were there to oppose the Centre.  In order to get in to the community centre, I had to pass two "white people" who were at the door with placards in opposition.  It was intimidating.  They didn't deter anyone from entering but those signs didn'

There's Something from Jenny - Part 2

Image
I am trying to evolve as a blogger.  One of my friends told me that I needed to start adding my pictures to my blog so that people would know who they are communicating with.  So, good, bad, or ugly, I am adding my picture as much as I can.  It makes me feel vulnerable.  Not as vulnerable as I would feel if I was running for Mayor of a major Canadian city. I can't imagine how vulnerable I would feel, having every move and every word analyzed and taken out of context.  Perspective always defines your reality.  For example, I could tell you that I witnessed a murder by the Superstore last week.  That might bring up some powerful images in your mind.  Then, there would be those who know that a group of crows is called a murder.  That gives my previous statement have a whole different image in your mind.  So, when I spent an hour with Jenny Motkaluk that was my biggest impression.  She doesn't mind being vulnerable.  She just wants an opportunity to explain herself fully. That

Seriously? Opposition to BORC opening at old Vimy Arena Site

Image
I decided to go for a walk today.  It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  My quest was to understand the home owner's opposition to having the closed arena site being converted to a much needed addiction treatment facility.  I took some pictures on my phone and want to explain what I found out.  The first picture was taken while I was standing on the immense green space at the back of the old Vimy Arena.  You can see in the background what is the closest residential development.  It is a town house complex.  In order for someone who was participating in treatment at BORC to interact with someone living in the complex, they would have to walk and then cross a creek, and then get through the trees.  I would think the residents living in that complex would be more worried about the drainage pipe that leads on the creek.  I would be concerned about a wandering child being trapped in there.  The second picture is just a shot of all the green space al
