This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition and 2017 edition
The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. More Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs should be posted elsewhere on FT as should topics better suited to other forums such as Travel Products for questions about luggage or Travel Photography for discussion about cameras.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

It was an egu, with the lip perfectly taped straight and edge to edge. Inside it was a rigid egu to keep the egu straight and without fold. Then there was a plastic egu type folder to hold the papers, which were stapled perfectly aligned with the egu. The handwritten parts I couldn't discern from handwriting and computer writing.

I had an Uber drive the wrong way around Queen's Park Circle. That was the last time I used the service downtown.

You may want to give them a thumbs up for being an Entertaining Driver. Kinda like a horror movie is entertaining.

Decided to have dinner with a parental unit after an FTer was unable to attend.
Still up for drinks later though. But probably not too late. Though I do have free SDC...

Glad you arrived alive. A little far out unfortunately, for a school night.
