My travel and transportation throughout the day show very similar patterns in my data collection. I usually make the same trips throughout most days which is to the gym, Tim Hortons and to work. I use the same form of transportation every day which is my beloved Mazda 3. My Bluetooth system that I use every day to play music on my phone in my car is also Japanese made. As the textbook notes in chapter 3, the use of the world of transportation and influence for changes to transportation is based on global or international influence. Especially with the industry of cars, many cars sold in Canada are an international countries make or company. With the majority of my traveling is done driving and very rarely done using public transit or walking, I rely heavily on my car as a use of transportation which is a globalized product.
Furthermore, most of my destinations are the same throughout the week. As previously noted, I usually attend the gym in the morning which is a sister brand to Goodlife Fitness know as Fit4Less. Fit4Less is a Canadian owned company that has fitness centers across Canada. I chose Fit4Less because of convenience and affordability rather than supporting a Canadian company. I did not know that Fit4Less was a Canadian owned franchise until this

I usually will drive to Tim Hortons on the way home following a workout at Fit4Less. Although the company is known as Canadian I was interested to find out that the franchise is much more globalized than most Canadians perceive it as. Tim Hortons is apart of Restaurants Brand International which is a fast food holding company that also owns American fast food branches. Also, the company shares its ownership with a lot of Brazilian investment companies. Moreover, the coffee products that I purchase from Tim Hortons comes from the different south and central American countries rather than a Canadian coffee it is marketed
Tim Hortons and its customers work well together. As the biggest (and most recognized) coffee and doughnut company in the nation, the restaurant chain has developed a distinct brand identity. They are currently developing a social identity that supports and drives that brand on a worldwide level. Tim Hortons prefers a people-first social strategy that represents the company's values over targeting the entire country of Canada as their key audience and using that audience to engage and create relevant content.
Tim Hortons is said to be the Canadian equivalent of StarBucks, but since StarBucks only started in 1971 and Tim Hortons had been around since 1964, Starbucks is actually an American knock-off of Tim Hortons! Tim Hortons is named after a Canadian hockey player and mostly has only one type of coffee available and which is freshly brewed such that they mark the time on the coffee pot when that pot of coffee had been brewed and if it is more 20 minutes old, it is thrown out. A lot of Tim Hortons coffee is brewed and bought compared to any from the other coffee sources in Canada and some of the supposed reasons for that included maybe added nicotine &/or added MSG &/or a few other things like making their coffee with hotter water than others
The message that Tim Hortons sends is that their food is something both trusting and tastes better than places that have food sitting out for days, then given to you is more improved than traditional “ cafe and bake

Hi, my name is Noorullah. Today, I will be talking about Tim Horton. Raise your hand if you’ve been to Tim Hortons… Now put your hands down. Have you ever wondered why it’s there? Well 59 years ago, Miles Gilbert “Tim” Horton decided to change Canada, making it the country with the top 7 fastest-growing restaurant chains!
Canadian individual identity is questioned often because it is so diverse and means something different to each person in Canada. Although there is not a set identity there are many values and beliefs that are owned by all Canadians. To find out what Canadians identity is, one has to take into account what has affected it. The United States is the biggest influence on Canadian identity. The U.S. culture is very similar to Canadians as we are exposed to it all the time in media sources.
Tim Hortons is an iconic international brand that entices guests for the sheer opportunity to experience the brand. However locally it is more than that, it is a sense of community and Tim Hortons contribution to it. Tim Hortons is very active in the community as it sponsors youth sports and event and runs charitable foundations and campaigns, all providing a visible presence. These initiatives are what bring guests back, as the community witnesses the support Tim Hortons provides which in turn entice people to support the local Tim Hortons. I also believe that the high level of customer service quality provided to guests helps draw them back.

By early 1974, after the sad demise of Tim, Joyce automatically embraced the spirit of a sole owner. Since its initiation Tim Horton’s has become a global venture. They grew from a very
As Newman (2012:28) notes that national cuisines help foster an emotional connection, sense of contentment, and security with its customers, the vast number of Tim Hortons across Canada – and all serving a very similar menu, it arguably offers a sense of security to its customers. As well, it is reminded through the Tim Horton commercials presented that Tim Hortons is a common thread to all pleasurable Canadian memories; hockey practices at 6 am, being welcomed to Canada with a cup of Tim Hortons coffee…etc. Finally, as noted by Newman (2017:28), “food is so emotional, so primal, it is almost impossible to not develop deep attachments to the spaces of culinary knowledge that we inhabit.” As shown in the commercials, especially with the one with Lilian and the one with the immigrant father, Tim Hortons can be thought to be very emblematic of Canadian
One of the forces of globalization that can be seen in this film is transportation. Forms of transportation could be cars, people, camels, planes, trains and so on. Transportation has had both negative and positive impacts on Saroo’s
Every nation has the possibility to do tasks that are best suited based off their environments. This is no different in the transportation industry as well. North American and Europe have many similarities based on the modes of transportation of materials. With this there are also many differences between the two due to situational requirements. The two nations also have trade all over the world as well as policy implications in place best suited for each individuals best needs.
Activists have pointed out that globalization has led to an increase in the consumption of products, which has impacted the ecological cycle. Increased consumption leads to an increase in the production of goods, which in turn puts stress on the environment. Globalization has also led to an increase in the transportation of raw materials and food from one place to another. Earlier, people used to consume locally-grown food, but with globalization, people consume products that have been developed in foreign countries. The amount of fuel that is consumed in transporting these products has led to an increase in the pollution levels in the environment.
But in foreign countries train services to major transportation systems and also the choice of transportation for their
