Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Global Television used to produce a pretty good newscast. I spent many a night listening to the Toronto one over the radio as a kid and even into my adulthood (Hey Carin, imminent death!) until that frequency went silent several years ago. When I say used to, it’s not because Global no longer produces newscasts. …

Quite often I find myself getting offended by the things that offend other people, but I think I’m with Lacey Willmott in wondering just why Aeroplan, the travel and shopping rewards people, would be sending out a survey asking folks to choose their level of agreement with statements such as “Overall, there is too much …

Again with the dogs, United? At least you didn’t kill anyone this time, so you’ve got that going for you, I guess. KCTV reports that Kara Swindle and her two children flew from Oregon to Kansas City, Missouri, Tuesday on a United flight. They went to a cargo facility to pick up 10-year-old Irgo, a …

Oh hey! A horrible flying story that involves neither midair gropey time nor United! Fun! Watch as Nicole Byer, who I will confess to never having heard of until this moment, tells Conan O’Brien about the time she found a nice big dump in her Delta blanket. Man, those first class people get all the …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEr01yjmzfQ I don’t have a lot of words. I am really trying to think of a circumstance where I could see where this woman was coming from, but it’s not working. I’m really really trying. Belen Aldecosea had to fly home, and she wanted to fly with Spirit Airlines. In the recent past, because of …
For the record, I support Ontario’s minimum wage increases. The sorts of folks who work those jobs often do very important, tedious, thankless and difficult work and they deserve to get much more in return for it than they do. For instance, it’s usually them who has to deal with the public with a smile, …
