Canadian MP Complains About 'Woke' Tim Hortons Coffee Lids

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."

Rood criticized the fiber lids as being "woke," alleging that they dissolve in the mouth, prompting her dissatisfaction with the alternative.
