If you've ever been to Canada you'll know that Tim Hortons coffee shops are ubiquitous. So when politicians want to pretend they're "for the little guy" and send out a populist message they invariably show up at a Tim's, coffee cup in hand. And that's just what Member of Parliament Lianne Rood did when she took to Twitter with her dumb video.

"I’m done with Tim Hortons until they stop trying to push these woke paper lids that dissolve in your mouth," said the Conservative MP for Lambton-Kent-Middlesex. Obviously a pressing issue of the day in Canada. Rood noted that "at least if the lids are plastic they're recyclable." Is that so? "Although takeaway coffee cup lids are thought of as ‘generally recyclable’, they are usually made from #6 plastic. Plastic 6 refers to polystyrene (PS), a hard plastic commonly used for household items that is notoriously difficult to recycle."

Conservative Canadian Member of Parliament Lianne Rood has expressed discontent with Tim Hortons after the fast food chain initiated trials of new fiber lids at select locations, departing from the customary plastic lids. Rood criticized the fiber lids as being "woke," alleging that they dissolve in the mouth, prompting her dissatisfaction with the alternative.

She posted a video on X in which she called out the fast-food chain for the new fiber lid, complaining that the "crappy paper lids" are not user friendly at all.

"Tim’s used to be for the little guy who wanted a quick coffee and a bite. Now they’re making pizzas and crappy paper lids," she captioned the post on X."I’m done with Tim Hortons until they stop trying to push these woke paper lids that dissolve in your mouth."

Rood's pandering bullshit...

....was met with some swift rejoinders, including that she claims $45k monthly in expenses yet says she's for "the little guy."

And Bev is pretty tired of her bullshit too.

Brittlestar with his 2¢.

And while Lianne Rood thinks she's being all clever and stuff with her pandering to the masses, here's Kathy Burke keeping it real.
