5. Tim Horton€™s Coffee Is The Fuel Of The Nation

Timmy€™s beats any coffee chain in the world for many reasons: it's reasonably priced, delicious (despite the rumours that they were putting cocaine in it to get people addicted to it €“ that just was not true) and the donuts are incredible.

If you know what "Roll up the rim to win" means, you've spent enough time in Canada to understand.
