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, 2018 edition, 2019 edition, 2020 edition and 2021 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.

The trouble with living in a town where three rivers meet is that when we get a big rainy thaw like yesterday things can get rather messy. Each of the rivers decided to take alternate routes over roads for a while. One road is still closed, and several roads in the area have washouts. Many of my neighbours have their sump pumps going.
How many Aeroplan points does a one way YHZ-LIS ticket cost?

Forget amps that go to 11. I think the band I'm seeing has the most smoke ever.
Pretty soon it will have to be CAT III approaches at the Shrine Auditorium.

I keep an eye on Antonov's page for updates. Their last tweet was a few hours ago
I also look at other sites such as https://twitter.com/ADSBexchange . Very cool. Fascinating to watch.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but why is the main suggestion when I start to type Canadian in my phone "Canadiancow"??? 
Oh, and why are their two different "cowtools"?? Shouldn't they have different aka's?
Inquiring non-bovines want to know!

Right now cowtool.com redirects to the most popular, but it will eventually be a landing page that links to all of them.

I cannot begin to describe how valuable this purchase was:
It took 60 seconds to swap the wheels on my office chair.
It's... amazing. No noise when I move, no friction. It's like I'm floating on air.
