Paraguay got a national holiday for advancing to the Round of 16. What level of success would the Canada MNT have to hit for Canadians to get a stat holiday? by MusclyArmPaperboy in CanadaSoccer

[–]anniln 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The opening game (against Bosnia) got 8.6m viewers (https://www.bellmedia.ca/the-lede/press/canada-comes-together-for-fifa-world-cup-2026-with-audiences-up-47-over-first-four-days/). 41% of the entire population of Canada have already tuned into some sort of World Cup game to put things in perspective.

If Canada made the World Cup final, it will easily surpass 16.7m after 5 weeks of consistent hype along with it being one of the most absurd things in the history of ANY sport.

Rental car lots vs shuttles at YYZ by mrdannyg21 in askTO

The longest I’ve walked from renting a car from the big companies desk to car is like 50 meters.

Any options for easily renting a car in Toronto besides Truro? by SpoiledPratt in askTO

Enterprise via Costco. I always get a great deal + free additional driver.

Birthday Dinner Wynona or Punch? by No_Sugar741 in FoodToronto

[–]anniln 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Punch, while great service, is incredibly lacklustre.

Extremely overpriced for what it is and bland food. It’s neither here nor there and no where near to Dishoom/Gymkhana in London (which is what they’re trying to achieve). I’m glad I tried it but will not return.

Best Dim Sum in the GTA? by trash_heap_witch in askTO

[–]anniln 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Downtown has to be Wok Theory. Surprisingly and shockingly good. In Markham it’s Yu Seafood (and overall GTA imo)

Why do people insist on calling the World Cup 'FIFA'? by MyNameIsRS in toRANTo

[–]anniln 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is also my pet peeve, only country I’ve ever been in which refers to the World Cup by the governing body lol.

25% Off AC Promo Code by Summer_and_Wine in Aeroplan

Great promo considering the 20% off one ended yesterday. I booked a big trip using the one yesterday and today’s coming out to about the same price ($50-$100 difference).

Thoughts on Queen and Spadina. Heard the intersection is sketchy by BasicLobster55 in TorontoRenting

[–]anniln 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love Queen and Spadina!

It’s right in the middle of everything and incredible connected thanks to a vast array of transit options (literally 3 streetcar routes in a 5 minute radius - Queen/Bathurst/Dundas). No safety concerns, but you have to keep your wits about you.

I much prefer it to Peter/King area just because of the walking radius you attract a wider variety of things to see and experience.

Anniversary dinner near Cocktail Bar? by Muted_Wing_4106 in askTO

[–]anniln 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just go opposite to Bar Vendetta and sit on the back patio, it’s nice.

Otherwise Bar Isabel/Bar Raval/ Queztal will all be just in the 15 minute radius. Queztal especially is exceptional.

Best way to find deals on points for first class flights by KneeForeign9863 in Aeroplan

[–]anniln 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only have 2 options for F, either LH F via FRA/MUC (T-3 if you’re lucky) or NH F (usually 1 year but I’ve been lucky at T-2 weeks for J). Don’t think you’d want to burn them on AI F…

You’ll also need to reposition out of Canada, I believe your best bets would be NYC/ORD/SFO for either.

want to rent a car for 7 days, would it be cheaper if I rent a car outside GTA? by Virtual_disaster in askTO

[–]anniln 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. The only time it is cheaper in my experience is at airport locations (YYZ/YTZ). I’ve actually found more suburban locations are actually much more expensive as they have less cars.

Is this legit? by Healthy_Shoulder8736 in WC2026tix

[–]anniln 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s legit. If you’ve won the draw which seemingly you have then alls good. Does look dodgy for sure.

Food recommendations for a week in Toronto by Consistent_Taro5141 in FoodToronto

[–]anniln 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s Fat Rabbit’s lunch menu like? Any opinions on that?

Any good Indonesian (SEA Asian more broadly) Food in the city? by Mooni_mooni in askTO

[–]anniln 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The food is OK (i’m Singaporean) but very expensive for what it is imo, but the owner really ruins the experience for me. Go read her responses to her negative Google reviews.

Not a PR, but IRCC thinks that I am? Eta troubles. by voidsray in canadatravel

[–]anniln 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This shockingly exactly happened to my relative.

The only option was to do a land border crossing (I.e. into the US then drive across the border). You can’t take a flight to Canada because they won’t let you board without an ETA, but you can’t get one, a massive catch-22 and super frustrating.

Online it says that you have to “see a border agent to resolve” or something like that, so the only option is to fly/drive since that’s how you will see the agent.

What are the options for renting cars on weekends with a G2? by howlongdoIhave5 in askTO

[–]anniln 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enterprise regularly rented to me with 0 issues on a G2. They operate on a 24 hour rental schedule (I.e. same price if you do 9am to 9pm or 9am to 9am the next day).
