Sounds like they are doing the Telus name proud.

You park at the science centre lot? Amateurs.

But I agree with everything else. It’s basically a science centre themed playplace.

I want to buy Arctic Apocalypse

I had the exact same thoughts after our last visit to the science center. We went for the hockey exhibit and it was ok, but there were so many other cool science-y things they could have included. It seemed like quite a few of the regular exhibits were either not working or in bad shape. The kids were excited to watch one of the shows and it was a brutal cartoon film that was just a mess of poor animations and strangeness. Just a weird experience overall and definitely felt like a terrible value proposition compared to the zoo or heritage park.

Yeah, Flair blows. Not a single customer-facing person that works for them is having a good time. Bad vibes every single time.

Swoop was so much better for this. F

We flew flair once. Once. I'll pay double to not give them any of our business again.

What are people's experiences with Porter? Specifically to and from yyz.

My last flight years ago was with Flair. I've got short man legs and I barely had enough room. The guy beside me was about 6 1/2 feet tall. He had his legs to the side the entire flight. About halfway through the flight he looked like he was going to start crying.

It's awesome. Free drinks including beer, and free WiFi as long as you watch a 15 second commercial every half hour. Nice planes too, and if you fly out of Pearson, Porter gates are away from the chaos in their own chill little area.

Definitely going to try to fly with them again next time I go to Toronto.

I just got an email from my dentist office. Subject line: “Tis the season to maximize your health and insurance”…in the body of the email: “unwrap the gift of your insurance benefits!” Who’s getting the gift?

Mine sent one just like that too. Along with their weekly voicemail that I’m due for a check up when I was just there a few months ago. I’m an adult. I’ll go when I want to go.

So Sunday night I invite a lady friend of mine over for dinner. I BBQ for her a ribeye steak with some wild rice and a side of cauliflower. On top of that I made a cheese cake. Not long after dinner she says she has to go. Of course I'm thinking WTF is going on here. I cook you a nice dinner and then you say thank you for the nice dinner and up and leave. Like if you don't like my company, then why the #### come
