    In every place I’ve been to in Canada

    Canada is already a place, what other “places” would you be referring to other than place (stores) like Tim Hortons, McDonalds, etc. in your comment?

    Yes Canadians may incorrectly call them Tim Bits, but other places can’t since the trademark is owned by Tim Hortons. No need to lie that other places call it that when they can’t or they would get sued and easily lose dude….

      As a non-canadian who has never heard the word timbits before, this is the funniest argument I have ever read on lemmy

      Maybe this is an Eng (UK) / Eng (US) issue.

      You’re arguing that “every place” must mean shops.

      I absolutely didn’t read it as that, I assumed they meant “other parts of Canada”. I mean, Canada is a gigantic country with tons of regional accent, dialect, even language differences.

      Might be best to chalk it up to a misunderstanding and move on.
