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 , 2017 edition and 2018 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. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status 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, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.
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’m not often paying attention to other cars around YYZ (as in the airport I meant) as I tend to Uber or be in transit but definitely don’t recall seeing any when on the 401. Or may I just don’t pay attention enough lol.

There used to be many Smart Cars, especially in downtown Toronto, as they were used by Cars2Go car sharing. But the company has since shut down ~Summer 2018. Not sure what happened to their fleet.

I saw a Solo in Vancouver last week. That is one strange looking vehicle.

TFW your phone alarm goes off on the train.
And when you have your earphones in so you assume it’s coming from them so don’t turn it off. Then realize the entire carriage can hear it.

Still I thought I’d have noticed more around Toronto.I still get a kick out of what NA defines as “best small car” being what Europe considers a full size

If you were the GTA, I must ask.... were you in the quiet zone? I hear the 905ers have a special Go Train court system for those who violate quiet zone rules...
