Some Tim Hortons locations in Ontario have increased menu prices for some breakfast items amid controversy over Ontario’s minimum wage increase.
While Tim Hortons confirmed the price increases to various media outlets, the brand did not provide specific details on price increases, locations, or menu items.
Reports on social media indicate some breakfast items increased by around 20 cents, while one person complained about a 55-cent increase on an “icedcap and breaky sandwich” combo.

They aren't the only restaurant that had to raise prices. Stop trying to ruin Tim Hortons. Go and investigate. Here in Niagara Falls it's happening all over not just Tim Hortons
