As I was leaving the YUL Dom MLL today at 5:50pm EST, Crazy Canuck Steve Podborski had just walked in and was greeted by the MLL gatekeepers.

A couple of weeks ago, I sat down next to Brent Butt (Corner Gas, CTV) and Nancy Robertson (Wanda), at the MLL in YVR. Just seemed like nice, normal folks, as one would expect.
I thought back to the episode a few seasons back, involving Lacy trying to get to Toronto, and being endlessly shuffled to yet another airport, further west. Now we know where his inspiration comes from!

Lots of double takes from pax newspapers to seat 3D.
Cheers.

I stood next to Buzzie the wannabe senator at the hockey game and remarked how good the non union team in red looked

On AC870 YUL-CDG last night 23FEB, arrived CDG T2A 0900 today, the Honourable Mr. Justice Louis LeBel of the Supreme Court of Canada (http://www.scc-csc.gc.ca/aboutcourt/...l/index_e.asp), one of our country's sharpest legal minds. ^
He was accompanied by his wife, Université Laval law prof, Louise Poudrier-LeBel (who taught me "extinction et exécution des obligations" in my civil law courses--for the record, I flunked it and had to take it a second time.... 
, but hey that was 20 years ago 
)
They arrived for a conference at "la Cour des Cassations de Paris".
