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.

Varied reports of if Canada will let you carry both valid passports, or if the agency sometimes wants to hold on to your spare/second, but may be worth a try... https://www.quora.com/Can-Canadians-hold-two-passports-for-the-same-person-like-other-countries-allow
Don't forget to stop at a yyz or sfo nexus enrollment center to update your linked passport #.

when I did that last year, the Nexus site allowed me to save the new passport # but said I needed to take it to an enrollment officer for verification (no appointment needed). plus online system only allows one active passport #. was the website message bluffing? probably.

Now that the discussion has moved into being solely about Nexus I'll jump in to remind everyone that that discussion is best continued in the proper venue for that topic which is the Trusted Travelers FT forum rather than in this forum lounge thread.

I posted about the ruby chocolate back in January when Kit Kat Japan announced it.
Of course Japan and Korea.

You also don't want to seem too rehearsed, yet prepared JUST ENOUGH
Happy to help after my exam on the 16th

Annoying that the Jays haven't scored yet this game. Just get one run! (top of the 8th)
Added: Ok, we got our run! Now holding our breath!
Added more: Sanchez No-no broken in the bottom of the 8th. Oh well.

What do the Jays, the Raptors and the Leafs have in common?
None of them can play baseball, basketball or hockey.

How weird is it that two threads that I started in 2016 are suddenly on page 1 of the forum? They had both been dormant for quite some time and I didn't resurrect either of them.
