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.

I am getting Marriott Rewards and Lingerie from The Bay! Is it a coincidence that one of our IT guys had my computer for a while today????

I'm in the 1st hour of a 3+ hour Hockey Canada Online Safety Course. Unfortunately, well designed so that I have to semi pay attention and answer some common sense questions. All so I can stand on the bench and make sure some 18-23 years don't drink beer in the dressing room.

Hopefully you only have to do it once.

Now I'm learning the proper way for a player to get dressed! I have to click on pieces of equipment to learn what they are for and how to put it on! Something I guess I did not know in the first 15 years that I have coached!!

Better line up a couple of those brewskies that your players aren't supposed to drink.

I like the "replay" option. Does that come with colour commentary by Don Cherry as well?

Ironically now people think anyone claiming to be from the CRA is a scam.

And unfortunately, trying to get the CRA on the phone is insane. You think AC is bad? CRA I couldn’t even get into the queue the first dozen times.

@Yhztraveller, I feel the words of Fulton Sheen “like being stoned to death with popcorn” are applicable to this presentation?

Did you already get your "Respect In Sport - Activity Leader Certificate"?

Lol, welcome to the club??? I first did this course about 14 years ago, when it was an 8 hour in person course. It has to be renewed every 2 years, fortunately now online....
