I've got a neat story for ya! Winnipeg resident, Lisa Marchant, claims that her tea from Tim Hortons was too hot. Marchant was in a minor car accident after ordering a cup of tea from the coffee chain, causing her tea to spill and burn her leg. She is now demanding that Tim Hortons regulate the temperature of their hot beverages. Does this sound familiar?

Did you know that the woman who played Mabel Choate, the "marble rye lady," was from Dauphin? Her great-niece is a CreComm grad. :)
