There a few thick patriots up here (too). But more than a few of us who appreciate independent thinkers.... Be careful Scott, folks might beg you to stay.

Clearly I had not been keeping up. American managers and Brazilian owners. Cool. Kinda like a streaming radio station out of California that introduces me to Canadian and Nordic music I have never heard before.

Frankly, I was always under the impression that Americans did deep-fried doughnuts as well or better than anybody else so..... unless you are lookin for "eh?" at the end of the sentence or about (aboot) pronounced in a strange way â no guarantees if the workforce is local â then you might be a bit disappointed.

If getting a donut at Arby's is exciting, then sure! Hard to imagine opening a donut shop anywhere there's ever been a Krispy Kreme. The sandwiches were maybe above Arby's but not Panera. That's all I got. Been to a Tim Horton's 3 times, maybe 4. Please don't ban me, Canada!
