BԪַOur country is on the verge of losing everything that makes us good and just,BԪַ according to loyal Tim HortonsBԪַ customer, Lethbridge student Sammy Wade.
What has the nation lost? ItBԪַs whatBԪַs been inside Tim HortonsBԪַ breakfast sandwiches for years. The company made the switch to freshly cracked eggs this month.
Wade has now launched a petition BԪַ which currently has around 1,700 signatures BԪַ asking the Canadian coffee and donut eatery to return the sandwiches to their former glory.
She told Black Press Media BԪַthe freshly-cracked egg is gross, rubbery and stringy for some odd reason. It needs to be put down.BԪַ
The new patty is made from Canadian Grade A eggs and the result of various test market trials, according to a Feb. 3 Tim HortonsBԪַ news release.

BԪַGuests loved the change and they couldnBԪַt wait for todayBԪַs official launch,BԪַ says chef Tallis Voakes, new culinary lead for the franchise.
Egg Farmers of Canada also celebrated the move Feb. 3, applauding Tim HortonsBԪַ BԪַcommitment to high-quality food and sourcing suppliers, like Canadian egg farmers, that uphold leading food safety and animal welfare standards.BԪַ
Eggs used in the sandwiches are now certified. Farms that raise them will be subject to on-site inspections and third-party audits for quality assurance explained the nonprofit in a news release.
BԪַTim HortonBԪַs removed our beloved egg patty so it could be replaced with some freshly cracked mutiny,BԪַ described Wade in the petition.
Tim Hortons responded on Twitter to customers disappointed about the new patty. It asked them to contact the company privately via social media.
Our Tim Hortons breakfast sandwiches and wraps are now made with freshly cracked, 100% Canadian eggs. If you are dissatisfied with the change, we do apologize, please send us your contact details, as well as the location, and we will share your feedback with the restaurant.
