A Calgary stalwart not flying WestJet?! I wonder if they have a contra deal with AC: They dump thousands of copies of the WESTERN STANDARD into the AC system, AC gets a free ad every issue (promoting Executive Class), and Ezra gets to fly around the country for free?

Interesting though, as he was in the same Toronto studio last night with the bow-tied former Liberal Party president doing their weekly GLOBAL "debate". Wonder how they managed that, as he was also in Toronto earlier this week where Conrad Black hosted a 2nd Anniversary dinner for the mag.

(BTW where does AC86 fly between?)

YYZ to TLV. There was an Israel-Canada Chamber of Commerce and Industry junket aboard.

While we're on the subject of Ezra and his bi-weekly rag, the March 13th issue has a quote from one of our own, BLONDE BOMBER is highlighted in the "Western Front — Buzzwords" section: "Ottawa has jurisdiction here. It can get involved in a heavy-handed way or it can do it in a co-operative way. We don't care. We just want something to happen!"

I shan't reveal anything further since this is an Albertan speaking...

Heck, even the author of this site uses "stunning" to describe her

She's more of a B-list actress (model turned actress), with stints on various films/tv shows, etc. I would say she is moderately well known in North America. She's half chinese half french I believe... yummy

You didn't burn a pair of SSWU's and try the U/Gs?

LOL

I had already boarded and didn't notice her until she took her seat.

Besides, I only had one and there's no way she would get it

nah. I think I was the only one who recognized her, actually. As a side note, she seemed down to earth with the pax in her row.
