I just got the link from someone's blog, and its actually a touching and genuine commercial (genuine and commercial seems to stand at the opposite end of each other...)

A Tim Hortons Commercial that tells the story of three generations of Chinese Canadian. Tim Horton's coffee is the link....



[STORYLINE]
Lou, a Chinese immigrant, raises his son, Jimmy, to study and work hard. When Lou finds young Jimmy playing street hockey, he expresses his disapproval. Many years later, an elderly Lou enters a hockey arena with a tray of Tim Hortons coffee. He heads into the stands, and hands a coffee to Jimmy – who is an adult now. Jimmy seems surprised to see his father there. Lou explains that he has come to see his grandson Tommy (Jimmy’s son) play hockey. It is soon revealed that Lou used to secretly watch his son play at the same arena years ago, and that he always enjoyed a Tim Hortons coffee while he watched. Lou and Jimmy share a moment, as they each enjoy a delicious Tim Hortons coffee and proudly watch Tommy play.

The comment of those users are pretty offending, but the story itself (Which for a Chinese guy, you know this is actually the NORM) is very touching.

Adding the fact that the main characters are all Chinese Canadian in a main stream TV ad in Canada, this makes me want to drink even more Tim Hortons...

Maybe Michael Chong(莊文浩) did something right when he resign back in November in protest of our PM regarding to Quebec...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Chong
