At home. I just got back from YUL today (was confirmed on the 7pm but the lounge agent confirmed me on the 5pm, which was delayed due to weather and eventually we arrived at the gate at 7:50pm, about the same time as my confirmed my flight ).
Why, you in T.O.?

Hey Lev, save time for the anti AC rant from PE ...after that's over he's ok.

The Delta suites hotel at the Eaton Center is pretty nice and IMO much nicer than the CP and should be in the same price range.......and still a block from PE's office

Ah, the Central Canadians at it again. Members of the AC Apologists Club whose mantra is "if I say it enough times it must be the truth"....

P.S. I met parnel back when he was somewhat objective - ah, the good ole' days....

edmonton is a black hole for hotels because edmonton is a black hole. as much as people think it's an A list town, it's not.

Today it is more of a gray hole with the raid. Edmonton is a city that is growing and developing its self after years of economic troubles. However it is a beautiful city that is turning into an amazing place to live ( I just moved to Edmonton, and enjoy it very much)
