3 h. ago Tim Hortons explains why it raised coffee prices for the first time in three years

Customers across Canada have been shocked to find that the prices of their Tim Hortons coffee have jumped up recently.The rising prices of, well, everything, lately, are a reality that the majority of Canadians have come to accept in the tumultuous years since the COVID-19 pandemic upended industries across the globe.It's simply not surprising anymore to find that your go-to snack or dinner ingredients have gotten more expensive overnight (while, all too often, the contents have dwindled).In spite of this — or, perhaps, because of it — folks find small comforts in those things that seem to stay, perpetually, the same.For the past three years, the price of a coffee at Tim Hortons has been one such thing, but no more: the quintessentially Canadian cafe chain has increased the prices on its coffee.It's a move that the chain calls "more than reasonable" in a statement made to blogTO."Our approach to pricing in our restaurants does not reflect any ...

3 h. ago MLB legend David Ortiz eviscerates Yankees after Toronto Blue Jays slugfest

David Ortiz might not exactly be the biggest fan of the Toronto Blue Jays, but there's no doubt who he's cheering for in the American League Wild Card Series.Ortiz, a 10-time All-Star during his 14 seasons with the Boston Red Sox, seemed to be taking quite the pleasure in seeing the Blue Jays demolish the New York Yankees during their first two playoff games.While Toronto still needs to win one more game to advance to the American League Championship Series, they've certainly looked the part in their first two games. Scoring 23 runs over two days, Ortiz was in full-on trolling mode over his hated Yankees rivals."They can bring Jesus back, and they're still going to go to Cancun," Ortiz said on Fox's postgame show. "It's over. It's a wrap, just so you know. This Toronto Blue Jays lineup ain't playing around."Ortiz got the ability to chirp a few old rivals in Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, both of whom were two of the biggest faces ...

5 h. ago Here's why the Toronto Blue Jays pulled Trey Yesavage in historic Yankees beatdown

Even in perhaps the best two-game stretch of his entire run as Toronto Blue Jays manager, John Schneider knows that he's not always going to be the most popular guy in town.On Sunday, Schneider's Blue Jays pulled off a game anyone in attendance will probably never forget.While Toronto scored 13 runs on the day to take a 2-0 series lead over the New York Yankees, the biggest star of the game was starting pitcher Trey Yesavage, who put on one of the best performances anyone's ever had wearing a Jays uniform.In just 5.1 innings of work (and only his fourth-ever MLB start), the 22-year-old rookie made Jays postseason history with a franchise-record 11 strikeouts on the day, giving up no hits and just one walk.But he actually could've probably had a better performance, had he not been pulled after just 78 pitches. More than half-way to what would've been the first no-hitter in Blue Jays playoff history, Schneider decided he'd rather play the percentages and let Ye...
