In North America they teach that North America and South America are 2 separate continents.

When someone refers to “America” in the contexts of countries they 9 times out of 10 mean the US. Since people from there usually call themselves “Americans” rather than “United statians”

There’s a tiny café owned by a couple literally right around the corner from the nearest Tim’s to me.

It’s definitely a little pricier but FAR better quality. They’ve also got crapes and waffles and stuff. But sometimes I’ll just go in for a cappuccino.

I’ve become probably their best customer since I go there so often. Despite the fact that Tim’s is closer and cheaper.

Not only is it Canadian (plus some European products) it’s a local business. All the better.

Edit: That being said, Tim’s is cheap so that usually what I’ll have when the café isn’t an option. It’s not American owned thankfully. I wish it was still Canadian though.
