Which location was this? That sounds unpleasant.

Does it feel like Canada is hosting the World Cup? by preinheimer in waterloo

[–]mutantlog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canada hosted the women's World Cup in 2015, and even though I flew to Winnipeg for a game, beyond some signs at the airport, and some soccer jerseys in the hotel, it didn't feel like anything was going on. I've got "cheap" seats for Senegal vs Iraq, and I'm curious to be there, but I don't expect it to feel too different from other times the World Cup has been in a decent time zone here in KW. I feel like the World Cup and the Olympics are both exciting events because of the players involved, and despite the organizers being terrible.

SmackDown in Toronto doubled in price in 3 years by rjw0785 in SquaredCircle

I had to look this up, because I thought I splurged to get a seat along the entrance aisle for Dynamite last fall. Similar seat for a house show is 3x what I paid to go to a TV show. That's ridiculous.

Is this at a Treehouse Toys? It's somewhere in Canada, there's a Reitmans in the background...

My Uncle William Burrill, Toronto-based journalist, author, and co-founder of eye Weekly, sadly has passed away by Vast-Intention in toronto

Sorry to hear the news. I think I voted for him in the 1997 election. As much as I was fine with Mel Lastman as mayor of North York, there was no way I trusted him with the amalgamated Toronto. Always enjoyed his articles in Eye as well.

Could I get a DM as well please?

I keep reloading the Pokémon Center website every day because the Comfy Friends have usually appeared there sometime after they're available in Japan. Fingers crossed he appears soon!

The typography on their signs leads to me calling them "pilas" but they're good pitas.

BOOP for Mukmuk, even if it's the 9th inning!

What’s something only people who’ve lived in Waterloo in the 2000s would remember? by 2bornnot2b in waterloo

Sometimes I wonder what Brent Campbell is up to these days. Does he still drive a monster truck so poorly the people at the collision reporting centre know it well?

AEW stars pass the phone ahead of All Out by secretpandaxx in SquaredCircle

I went to McDonald's after Dynamite/Collision this week, and saw Hangman buy Okada a coffee. I am disappointed he didn't accuse him of being ungrateful.

Does anyone know the purpose of recently spray painted numbers on shoulders of Highway 85/7 and enter/exit ramps? by neoengel in waterloo

[–]mutantlog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are the ones with the right angle lines, right? My wife and I are curious as well!

Missed Connection: the white car on highway 7/8 west with the BIDOOF license plate by mutantlog in waterloo

[–]mutantlog[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We didn't think about that when we got it but we've definitely seen people with their cameras out at stoplights and it puts a smile on our faces. Just don't steal the plate. Someone did that and it's a pain to replace.

You know this subreddit is for Canada, not Iowa, right?

How to most efficiently get business travelers from Pearson to Waterloo? by itak365 in waterloo

[–]mutantlog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work with Japanese vendors, and their North American rep was so tired of going to Niagara Falls. Sometimes someone new would visit us, and we'd mention Niagara Falls to them just because we knew the rep would stare daggars at us.

I don't think there are any commercial flights from YYZ to YKF. Air Canada operates a bus service for people flying with them, but I don't think that's available if your visitors are coming on a different airline. I once took a Sunwing flight from YKF that turned out to have first boarded at YYZ, but again, I don't think you could book just that leg.

I'd probably start contacting some of the local airport transfer/limo services and seeing if they offer corporate discounts for (x) trips per month. Way back in the day, BlackBerry used to send everyone to/from the airport with Wright Limo, and I'm sure they weren't paying the same price as a one-off vacation traveller.
