The email Tim Hortons never wanted to send
A Canadian judge has authorized a class-action lawsuit against the famous coffee and doughnut company. Thousands of customers received a message "mistakenly" informing them they had won a small boat.
The 40-40 Campaign, Experience Windsor in 40 Ways, offers a free digital passport for Michiganders — and others — to experience local business in Canada through July 31.
Traffic via the tunnel to Canada is down 4% from last year, and the number of people ducking beneath the Detroit River has fallen as much as 22%, the Free Press reported this week. The Windsor hopes to increase tourism — and spending — by Americans.
The passport offers deals at 40 Windsor businesses, including coffee shops, boutiques and access to arts and entertainment venues, according to the campaign's website. The students tout America's 40% stronger dollar compared to Canada's as a way of increasing the value visitors receive.
After signing up, visitors can start their exploration by scanning a QR code at each participating location, allowing them a chance to rack up points, earn exclusive discounts and giving them a chance to win prizes, those that include a sunset river cruise and a weekend retreat in a geodesic dome.
