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.

So I attended a micro-Do of sorts in SEA today, somehow FOTSG came up and it garnered much amusement for being oh-so-Canadian because we apparently are too nice to just use "kettle".

Ha! I did have a discussion with @Adam Smith about this and we think it has a more "Germanic" sound to it, even if it is "Canadian" in intent.

Lack of depth in the infield seriously hampers team. Pitching will also be an issue. Vlad Jr. won't play until summer.
I plan to travel to hogtown to catch a game or two sometime this season. Haven't seen the Jays live since 1987.

Sounds like fun. I was hoping to be able to time the trip to make it to some sort of DO. I don't have my travel dates narrowed down yet. I also plan to do a YYZ airside tour and registration hasn't opened for that yet.
