So it is not surprising that people jump on anything negative about the company. We will have to wait and see what happens with these charges. Of course it doesn't matter whether they are true or not Tim Hortons won't suffer not with loyal customers like this.......
Tims serves up lawsuit
Radio host's comments about Afghan outlet at centre
By SAM PAZZANO, SUN MEDIA
Tim Hortons has launched a double-double of a lawsuit, seeking $105 million in damages from two of Canada's largest media companies and a popular Toronto radio talk-show host.
The coffee chain giant filed a defamation suit against Standard Radio and CFRB talk-show host Bill Carroll, along with CanWest, which owns Global TV, alleging they falsely stated that Ottawa footed the bill for a franchise serving Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan.
"The false and defamatory statements respecting the establishment of a Tim Hortons franchise injured the plaintiffs' trade name, brand and commercial reputation," according to documents filed with the Superior Court of Ontario.
Tim Hortons Inc. is seeking $35 million in general and punitive damages each from CanWest, Standard Radio (which owns Toronto station CFRB) and Carroll, for falsely stating that the company received a multimillion-dollar subsidy from Ottawa in support of the Kandahar outlet.
Double double.....
