Holy sh*t, that coffee is free.
Look, I know it’s Roll Up The Rim time again over at Tim Hortons.
And I know I’ll end up buying a few of those flashy red cups, and winning my yearly two cookies.
But right now (until March 14 anyway) I’m giving my coffee money to McDonald’s. And by money I mean no money. And by McDonald’s I mean a fast food chain that at least understands apostrophes.
Until the 14th, McDonald’s is giving away free coffee. Free. Coffee. Every. Day.
Now, I’m always suspicious of these things, as though I’ve missed the fine print where it says I actually have to buy 18 breakfast burritos to get the coffee. But there is no fine print. And it’s all day, not just breakfast hours.
So, if you only have one fast food corporation to give $0 to for coffee in the next two weeks, make it McDonald’s.
Then stop going there. It’s way funnier if you steal their coffee for two weeks and reward them with patronage to better coffee shops.

Lower speeds not enough, say residents (50 km/h, 40 km/h, 30 km/h…Or my proposal: 150 km/h, but we get steel walls around our houses to deflect the idiots that need to speed half-a-block to the stop sign.)

Questions persist five years after RCMP murders (It was five years ago, today, that four mounties were shot near Mayerthorpe. You probably remember where you were.)
By the way, you should probably make yourself available for the evening of March 20.
