French-speaking Canadians prefer to use the generic term “trous de beigne”.
Sorry, neither my grandma nor my mom were posting on instagram making doughnut holes 20 years before Internet was even a thing?
The world existed before the Internet and we baked Trous de beignes in the kitchen instead of buying garbage frozen cardboard from some shitty corp.
They were smaller than Timbits because we literally just fried the hole part we removed from the doughnuts we also made. We’d use a glass to cut the doughnut shape and a sewing thimble for the hole because it was the right size.
The kitchen smelled for days and my mom would funnel the oil back in a container to reuse for the next batch months later.

You only zoomed in on the information that benefited you. You failed to mention the fact that MOST Canadians call them timbits. That’s it that’s the truth. The French also call cats Chats , doesn’t mean most Canadians use that same term. Outliers aren’t a good basis for a theory.

No one but you mentionned this being an absolute, other people’s point was only that not ALL Canadians call them that.
Good trolling, GTFO.
