Tim Hortons Harry Potter Backlash | Calgary News

Tim Hortons is facing fire for its new Harry Potter promotion, sparking outrage—especially from the 2SLGBTQ+ community—over its partnership with J.K.

The controversy has ignited a fierce debate on brand responsibility and inclusivity. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
