Although I agree that our troops certainly deserve a cup of Tim's if they want and don't blame the DND for making this happen ... I'm a little disappointed that the only thing Tim Horton's did was waive the franchise fee - which as I'm sure you know is not an out of pocket expense.
Everything I've read so far certainly left the impression that Tim Horton's was paying for a lot of this themselves as a good corporate citizen; and although they have no obligation to do so, considering all the promotional good will they've received from this effort I'm surprised and disappointed that they haven't.
Bottom line for me: I don't have a problem with them doing it ... I do have a problem with the wrong impression created about how it was being paid for.
