Not really sure  of the point of this story, but I would have KILLED for a Double Double while gone from Canada.

In the laundry list of costs (found in the story) it should have ended with, Taste of Home: PRICELESS.

Cheers

What,s the point of the story.... telling the public what they have a right to know.
The story isn't critical.  It shows that there is a cost to being there but points out that the troops pay a reasonnable price & they appreceate the convenience it affords.

media trying to stir controversy where there isn't any........i got that general impression from the report as well.  Like i said, slow news day

Considering the extraordinary cost to the taxpayer and the free publicity Tim's got, seems a bloody shame to me to charge the soldier a buck and a half for a coffee.

These companies that put a fast food outlet or coffeee shop in theater are good for morale and it makes sense financially. They have a captive customer base, little competition and build tons of goodwill that will mean future sales. Keeping the troops happy during a stressful deployment - priceless.

It isn't Cdn issue.  Looks like old US desert pattern or something from the sporting goods shop

If you look closely it appears to be Tim Horton's issues.......you can just make out a Tim Horton's in black letter if you enlarge the picture..

Is that a Timmies logo printed on Arid CADPAT?

I have one. ;D Here's a picture of it. From what I hear they are quite the hot commodity over there. I got it as a gift this week.

Be neat if all Tim Hortons employees working November 11th across Canada were wearing one....

Nice. Someone should give the manufacturer a ton of end-roll Arid CADPAT to work with though.  ;D
