O Canada and China

[epcotWSC]

Deadpool himself is Canadian... I’m not one of the IPCOT fearful, but - synergy!

*ducks and runs*

While I know people hate the IP tie-ins for everything, Deadpool doing a Canada movie at Epcot would be pretty awesome.

It’s funny that so many say they loathe it now, yet when we’re in Canada, they are still always packed

People still like the coffee.

The chain itself got some bad press when the minimum wage went from $11.40 to $14.00 overnight, and some franchise stores started cutting paid benefits.

To compete with McDonald’s, they recently brought out a rewards card. Buy seven cups, next one is free.

Might be owned by an American company now, but it is still distinctly Canadian. Timmie’s is fine.

My desk this morning:

Tim Hortons is owned by Burger King, which is headquartered in Florida.

Canadians are growing less fond of the chain by the year - I've only heard it positively mentioned as a stereotypical joke lately.

actually, Burger king stock - or the owning company that owns both has sky rocketed since the acquisition

Keanu Reeves would be a good host.

It’d be breathtaking!

Sorry it had to be said, carry on.....

I can see a billboard on I-4 now...
"What the Canuck!?" Deadpool in O'Canada

Add a Wolverine cameo and I'm in.

I hope I can still buy a $5 coffee crisp.

I love Coffee Crisps! I buy them on Amazon...

All O'Canada Signage has been covered up by Food & Wine signs. The scrim has also been updated to be a printed image instead of just brown.

@marni1971 , do you know if the new China movie will be keeping the Reflections of China score? It’s really beautiful, and I would hate to lose it.

Whoa!

I’d really hope so but I’m not holding out for it. I agree, it’s gorgeous. Even more so that it’s based on the 1982 Wonders score. So glad I got a copy.

It really is one of the best, always been quintessential Epcot to me, as is impressions. Keeping my copies as well the original and current one. Same goes for Canada.

hmm, I wonder if they might skip showing a Hong Kong segment in the China film after recent "issues"

I doubt it. American Adventure still has a scene revolving around slavery.

They called Tiananmen Square "The heart of China"

Kinda insensitive to the 1989 massacre

 

[marni1971]

Yes they did.

 

[ChrisFL]

I think those are different situations, but I don't want to get too involved in the politics of it, just thinking it could feel very tone deaf if they don't treat it properly.

 

[UNCgolf]

Are they actually replacing all the trees in the faux rockwork at Canada with artificial ones? That would be a huge mistake.

I believe so. For various reasons.
