Let's leave politics aside, but Kathleen Wynne, YOW YYZ. Unsurprisingly now she is no longer Premier, she was in business class.

Oh, I forgot about it this thread.

Although not recent (May this year), both Kim Campbell and Anne McLellan were in the lounge while I was there (not quite at the same time). One of which ate chili and the other preferred the kale salad.

Does this count as a celebrity sighting?

Former PM and former deputy PM? They rank well above reality show 'stars' in my book.

Although first one is best known for her back of the bus antics. But eh, at least a real person with red blood.

Vancouver Whitecaps.
Coaching staff was in the lounge.
Everyone was in economy. The lucky ones had an aisle seat.

Doesn't matter.

Even non-Canadians not flying AC passes the smell test.

At least it wasn't the BC Lions in economy. Football players tend to be much narrower than the other football players.

Scott Russell (CBC) in the YUL MLL on Tuesday.

Ran into Ian Baker-Finch (literally) in BOS yesterday. Taller than I expected. Love the accent!

I had a Captain Morris operating a flight a few months ago. I asked if it was Doug Morris, but it was not.

That's pretty cool! ^

I guess you had a chat with him after the flight (or during?)?
