Those two allowed to fly together? I would have thought that "in the interest of national security and stability" that they would have to take seperate flights

Brian Mulroney sitting in 2A on an Embraer 175 from YUL to ORD last Wednesday, May 17. Seemed like a friendly enough guy, but I didn't bother him :-)

I like BM the PM, and so am sad -- I was going to be on that flight (in 2D iirc) but my plans changed and I stayed in YUL

While this may not be a Canadian celebrity sighting, since it was on AC I thought it worthy of passing on. A few days ago on my YEG-YVR connector to fly downunder, a famous Aussie rick band INXS was sitting in bus. class! Nice guys as at baggage carousel, I asked for all autographs as they were a fave band a while back. They mentioned were continuing the tour in N. America, but didn't comment on the AC service.

Cheers from SYD!

Former Ontario Premier Bill Davis was my seatmate in J YUL-YYZ. A very nice man, though a bit of a name dropper.

Hey in my book, doing anything with Catherine Zeta-Jones anywhere on any airline would be a first class experience. J-seat be damned!

There was a great Jon Lovitz line on Overheard in New York a few weeks ago:

Guy in street: Hey, are you Jon Lovitz?
Lovitz: Jealous?

Sidney Crosby sitting in 1D and his parents in 2D&F on AC184 between YVR and YYC today. They were continuing on to Halifax after the NHL awards in Vancouver the night before.

I was sitting in 2C. He seemed pretty tired and slept most of the way. Tempted to bother him for an autograph, but then did the Canadian thing and just nodded as I walked by
