Then why the gently caress have they repeatedly introduced food that takes 3 minutes to cook over the past 15 years?

Tim's doesn't have to be good. THey too are slop. They have the most recognizable name in Canada and complete market (ugh) domination through the sheer number of locations. That's why instead of good coffee and tasty fresh doughnuts they keep doing all this god awful frozen 'food' because they already have the 'just need any coffee' consumer captured and need to keep expanding to the 'just need any sandwich/soup/pizza' consumer. It's a pure fast food mentality of maximising the number and variety of customers and has been for decades. Like Watermelon said they will almost certainly be abandoning inside seating etc. entirely because like McDonalds and Wendy's and whoever else they just need to chase the greatest throughput of customers

Plus they keep labour costs low through insanely exploitative use of TFRs, the desperate poor, students etc but mostly the first one

My favourite thing about Edmonton is that the Ukrainian Youth complex near my mother-in-law's house has its own Wikipedia page based on a statue of a Nazi.

Although TBF most of the people of Ukrainian descent I speak to are less "pro-Nazi" and more "anti-getting-invaded" which is a rather more agreeable opinion. My wife's family, like many Ukrainian-Albertans, have been in the Prairies since the first bit of the 20th century and so missed both the rise of communism and the reactionary bullshit that followed.

yeah its real frustrating and disappointing to keep finding out about all this nazi poo poo; my mother's side of the family (even the norwegian lol) all came over early 20th too, and im pretty sure my stepmother's family did then also, so well before any of that went on.

at least on my dads side my gigi fought on the right side at stalingrad, and my pink baba machine gunned nazis that she caught on her land; that sides all polish but close to the border with ukraine, as i understand it. pretty sure they were landlords so that sucks but they sure didnt keep it lol

This January, the American Library Association (ALA) published a list of Best Historical Materials for 2023, which includes Enemy Archives: Soviet Counterinsurgency Operations and the Ukrainian Nationalist MovementSelections from the Secret Police Archives.

This compendium of Soviet documents was edited by Volodymyr Viatrovych and Lubomyr Luciuk. Viatrovych, who is currently a deputy in the Ukrainian parliament, is notorious for drafting laws glorifying Ukrainian Nazi collaborators and Holocaust perpetrators. Hes been condemned by Jewish organizations as well as the governments of Poland and Israel. Luciuk, a professor in Canadas elite military college, has defended a Third Reich division accused of war crimes.

[...]

Luciuk, is a professor at the Royal Military College of Canadathe countrys equivalent of West Point. Last year, he published an edited excerpt from Enemy Archives in the National Post, a major Canadian paper. The article described the OUN as having been maligned by the USSR, which routinely portrayed members of this Ukrainian nationalist movement as war criminals, Nazi collaborators, fascists and so on, a trope regurgitated regularly by the Russian Federation.

The piece made it sound as if the OUNs collaboration with the Third Reich was Soviet propaganda, instead of established historical fact. The Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) denounced the National Post for providing space to Lubomyr Luciuk who continues to spread Holocaust distortion and disinformation.

[...]

Luciuk has also vociferously defended the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician), commonly known as SS Galizien. This was a formation in the SSthe paramilitary arm of the Nazi Party and the chief perpetrator of the Holocaust.

SS Galizien was armed, trained, and commanded by German SS officers. Its soldiers, who were overwhelmingly volunteers, swore an oath to Hitler. A video clip from USHMM archives shows the German high command staging elaborate, Nuremberg-style enlistment ceremonies with beaming recruits marching under SS banners. In 1944, the division was visited by SS head Heinrich Himmlerthe mastermind of the Holocaustwho praised the fighters willingness to slaughter Poles. Indeed, prior to Himmlers visit, SS Galizien subunits distinguished themselves by burning 5001,000 Polish villagers alive.

Luciuk has written numerous defenses of SS Galizien, stating that they werent pro-Nazi, they werent anti-Semitic and they didnt engage in war crimes.

[...]

Last fall, on the occasion of a visit by Zelensky, the speaker of the Canadian Parliament recognized SS Galizien veteran Yaroslav Hunka, who was present, prompting a standing ovation by parliamentarians. The ensuing scandal led to the speakers resignation, an apology from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and condemnation from Canadian Jewish organizations.

Luciuk disagreed. The professor employed by the Canadian militarywhich lost over 45,000 men in the war against Nazi Germanyclaimed that members of Parliament joined an execrable chorus of zealots and prats who gibbeted Hunka for someone he never was a former Nazi. Id say the House owes our fellow Canadian, and an innocent man, a public apology.

Wherever that poster is, Luciuk would definitely get him fired and god knows what else if he ever got on that tenured psycho's radar.

mcdonalds wiki posted:

The product originated as a family-sized pizza that was brought out to the table by an employee and placed on a raised rack in the center. Later it was scaled down to a personal-size pizza. By 1991, the McDonald's test markets for pizza had grown to over 500 locations before being placed on hold. The McPizza was discontinued in almost all restaurants by around 2000 because the eleven to sixteen-minute cook was out of sync with the restaurant's reputation for fast service. As of 2024, McDonald's pizza is still available at only one location, in Orlando, Florida.

it does seem ripe for a comeback. they can absolutely do a fast food quality pizza quicker than 16 minutes these days

All of Canada's smartest economists (realtors) are on Twitter very concerned that everybody in the country is going to get taxed at 66.7% now and that doctors are going to leave en-masse because they are being punished for their success


The tax is 66.7% of capital gains over 250k instead of 50% of capital gains being taxable, with the sale of primary residences being exempt lol
