Tim Hortons explosion kills 1

Shocked

Quote:
At about 3 p.m., another Tim Hortons location near Yonge St. and Lawrence Ave. was evacuated by emergency personnel after employees there discovered what they believed to be a suspicious package and reported the finding to police.

Investigators cordoned off the area near the store, located at 3222 Yonge St., and the police bomb squad has since been called in to investigate the package.

reported the finding to police.

How did they do that-- "would one of you fifteen or twenty officers come up to the counter, please?" Cool

For some reason, all the police cars in town answered to the call on the radio. Laughing

Sorry if I punctuated Tim Horton's incorrectly. I'm not Canadian so I'm just going off how they do it for McDonald's.

I think it was a suicide because Tims removed the Iced Cappucino from the menu. Very Happy

Or Al Queda bombing Toronto's most famous landmark. Yonge & Bloor Tim Horton's

Actually, their coffee is really good and they sell 50 cups of coffee for every 1 cup that Starbucks sells. In most parts of Canada (except Quebec - you can get good n cheap coffee in many places - French influence) you won't find a tastier cup of coffee in that price range ($1 ~ $1.50).
