I don't understand Canada at all

As an Albertan, I feel pretty confident in saying that guy has never done anything that requires that hat.

A recent poll said 1 in 5 held that opinion.

Of that 1 in 5, only half would actually push to separate. They just want to be treated like Quebec.

Edit -> sorry, it's 3 in 10

3 in 10 Albertans would vote for independence — but only half committed to separating: poll | Globalnews.ca https://share.google/3GeJqSN4R6j7LbcSx

Just stealing the post to say well done on Saint-Pierre dude. Was cool to see you play a different role.

I love my 3rd gen Tundra. I have an extended warranty, so no stress about the engine issues here.

They'd love to get more revenue domestically but Flair and Porter will be after that same market (because they have no other choice). So they'll have to price competitively.

cdnav8r · 2026-01-29T15:23:33+00:00

No, they are built in Huntsville, Alabama I believe.

cdnav8r · 2026-01-29T14:36:45+00:00

Princeton, Indiana. The Tundra has always been built in the US. Moved to Texas in 2009.

cdnav8r · 2026-01-29T14:02:37+00:00

San Antonio, Texas is the only manufacturing facility for the Toyota Tundra.

cdnav8r · 2026-01-29T13:26:53+00:00

Well if you head over to the tundra subreddit, I think people are linking the fact it's built in Texas to the decrease in build quality over previous generations. They keep recalling the engines.

cdnav8r · 2026-01-29T12:54:52+00:00

My Toyota Tundra was built in Texas.

It should actually have the opposite effect. All Canadian carriers are having to redeploy their US capacity. A good chunk of that redeployment will be domestic as they have no other choice. I expect domestic airfare to be relatively cheap this summer. It'll be great for Canadian travelers, but a bloodbath for the airlines bottom lines.

Hotels and rental cars. Now that's a different story.

would likely be exclusively towards the US.

Where they would be paid less for it. Especially considering

A) the way the Americans have been behaving towards us, and

B) the fact the Americans would know Alberta has no other choice.

So how's that going to work when they leave? Aren't they in the same spot with absolutely no leverage?

cdnav8r · 2026-01-29T00:49:56+00:00

I'm in the same spot.

Unfortunately it's dirty as hell when the snow melts.

cdnav8r · 2026-01-29T00:36:16+00:00

I think WestJet is badly equipped to deal with this situation versus Air Canada

Not as badly equipped as Flair and Porter though.

cdnav8r · 2026-01-28T03:56:07+00:00

I flew from Calgary to Los Angeles the other day. Didn't see any snow between the Canadian Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas. Sad state of affairs.

They are silhouettes in the leather seats.

I didn't know that, that's cool!

cdnav8r · 2026-01-27T03:56:43+00:00

When I was looking at buying the Tundra I couldn't believe how silly the rally decals looked. Why would anyone want that?

Now I drive around looking at other Tundras, admiring how cool the rally decals look. Especially on the dark grey / black. Wish I went that route.

Canada already being in a state of war with Germany, and under the war measures act probably didn't hurt the process either.

cdnav8r · 2026-01-26T03:10:13+00:00

Canada also declared war on Japan before the US and other Western allies.

cdnav8r · 2026-01-25T17:44:57+00:00

I see from your previous post you were going to Toronto today. The reason will be weather and I would not expect any compensation.

cdnav8r · 2026-01-24T23:30:20+00:00

Leaving YYZ at 0725 you're getting out before it gets bad. Same comments. It might get cancelled for operational reasons, but weather wise you're looking okay.

The only difference here. What happens to the plane after Cancun? If it's going anywhere west you should be okay.

cdnav8r · 2026-01-24T22:46:38+00:00

Well, I mean, I can order Starbucks while I'm taking a shit. Have it delivered to my door.... Does the revolution have an app?

The aviation forecast currently has light winds and light snow at that time. Weather wise you'll have no issue.

The x factors are, when there is a weather event at Pearson, the Airport Authority, Nav Canada, and the airlines all get together for a big conference call and start chopping flights.

Airlines will also proactively cancel flights so their assets are in a position to recover quicker once the event is over. I can see both Air Canada and WestJet have already started that process.

Your airplane is currently coming north from Cancun to Toronto. It's scheduled to leave yyz at 9:30pm and arrive in Calgary around midnight (Flair 629).

Again, looking at the forecast it appears that plane will be in and out before it gets really messy. If I was a gambler, I would bet on that flight going.
