It seems like there are tim hortons on every major intersection in Hamilton.
On Upper James, I think there are four within about a 5 mile stretch of each other. (I never really count the ones in gas stations though, and I never buy stuff at them because I always consider them Faux Tim Hortons.)
Where I live - Bloor West Village, there are no Tim Hortons. There's a mini one on Dundas just west of Jane, but they are usually sold out of everything. And the one on Jane and Enterprise, is almost Eglinton and, well, Tim Hortons can vary quite a bit, and it's one of the worse ones. (Renforth, just south of Eglinton is one of the better ones for example.)
There are none in Parkdale that I can think of either.
None in the High Park Area.
None in the Roncessvailles area.
There's all of one on the Queensway, if the Queensway was in Hamilton, there would be 5 or 6 along its length.
No, Toronto definitely needs more Tim Hortons (and good ones, not those crappy mini ones in Gas Stations.)

We're currently at Yonge and Finch. We work at Yonge and Sheppard. I pass 3 Tims in that space (2 subway stops) and there are 2 more just to the south within walking distance before hitting the 401, and one more just north of Finch. Oh, and one in the Finch subway station. That's 7 Tims within 5 minutes drive of one another.
Of all of them, however, only 2 are obvious - the rest are smaller jobbies inside the subway, the Dominion, the Esso station.
