Donuts define us

Tim HortonI received a comment on one of my blog postings that suggested that I was guilty of uttering disparaging remarks because I referred to the Canadian public as donut-eaters. Apparently, this struck a nerve with my reader, unless they were making a feeble attempt at humour.

Is it hate-speech to call Canadians 'donut-eaters'?

I don't think so, especially if you benchmark the comment against the 11 Hallmarks of Hate from the Human Rights Tribunal. Regular readers will recognize that I have referred to Tim Hortons (TSX: THI.TO) a number of times on this blog, dating back to the day of Tim's IPO.

I won't apologize. I think there is a constituency that would join me in wearing 'donut-eater' as a badge of honour.

Make mine an apple fritter, please and milk, no sugar, in my coffee.
