Take off, eh!

Says Gothamist, 13 New York Dunkin' Donuts will transform into Tim Hortons over the weekend, representing the first move in an extremely friendly Canadian donut invasion.

And it's about time. Since Canada's unofficial motto has always been "beer, hockey and the pursuit of donuts," we believe that the Canadian donut chain named after a hockey player will offer an improvement upon Dunkin's fare.

Gothamist points out that one of their commenters asserted in June that Tim Hortons is Jesus. Interesting claim, given that the New York stores will number 13. But we're not so sure that Tim Hortons has the holiest of intentions. Today New York, tomorrow the world.
