"NEWS FLASH FROM CBC NATIONAL NEWS" 

Tim Horton's has new CUP SIZES. Please tell me this is not what our public broadcaster considers news. Is the CBC going to announce via national news that any company making any changes in sizes to products will get coverage?

Please stop this nonsense. Tim Horton's can spend advertising dollars on this. The company used a very strange method to change the CUP Sizes - they left people to order their normal size only to find out the price had changed.

Please stop this garbage and present news. The coverage on the news channel = how much free advertising?

Come on now all other Companies - do the same. McDonald's can come up with mini Big Macs or Kentucky can create a double barrel meal deal. Where would this stop CBC?

Sure it's news...

$2.536 billion CAD (2010)
Net income $647 million CAD(2010)
Employees 100,000 (2008)

Seems like the company is worthy of CBC broadcasting any news from a company that generates $2.5 billion and employs 100,000 people in Canada.

Sure it is - you will post anything to oppose me.
CUP size change is not news. If you think so you are very deprived of real news. If they make that much - pay for the ad. They do not need my money as a taxpayer.
Who are you? Come on - tell us.

Tim's changing its' cup size is NOT news and it is not newsworthy in any sense. CBC must have had a very slow day indeed to indulge in this codswallop from Tim's. Your right on this one Sue. I give my tax dollars to the CBC. I support its' existance. I do not support what it is doing as a freebie for Tims. Wake up CBC. Get with the program.

CBC appears to have missed the real story.

Friend of mine goes in to purchase his medium coffee. He has always paid $1.47. Tonight the sales clerk rings in $1.71 and attempts to give him a large ( the new medium) . Friend says ...."but it always cost me 1.47". " Oh, you want a small coffee sir", says the clerk.

So the story is " Tims' attempts slight of hand rip off of its customers". You missed it CBC and you lost a lot of respect in my mind Tims'.
