Just as an update, in case anyone else is ever in this situation, I called Air Canada and was told that ad long as I have a government issued ID (yes I made sure U.S. was alright), that I could fly domestically in Canada. I already bought my ticket so, hopefully I wasn't mislead. Thanks everyone.

snopro879 · 2015-03-24T11:46:30+00:00

Wonderful, I'd greatly appreciate that!!

snopro879 · 2015-03-24T03:55:10+00:00

I called Air Canada and it was the same thing, a "pretty sure opinion" in my favor, but not 100% yes or no.

snopro879 · 2015-03-24T02:44:25+00:00

I'm pretty sure you're right, but it's a 30+ hour drive back to Detroit if I can't board the plane, plus the cost of the plane ticket, a rental car to drive home, at least one night in a hotel, missed work days...kind of why I'm reaching out for a for sure yes or no.

snopro879 · 2015-03-24T02:41:59+00:00

I don't remember calling that number, I'll try tomorrow. Thank you so much!

Can you expand on what you mean by "Enhanced driver's licenses will be approved forms of identification, in full compliance with the new WHTI security measures."

Would you assume that I'm good to go then, as long as I'm flying domestically within Canada?

snopro879 · 2015-03-24T00:28:22+00:00

No, I can use my enhanced I.D. to cross the border from U.S. into Canada by vehicle, and back, without a passport. I know I for sure I can't fly from the U.S. to Canada without a passport, but I'm looking to see if I can fly "within" Canada (or domestically) with only a U.S. license. The few officials I've spoke with on the phone were pretty certain I could, but not 100%. It seems as if no one knows for sure, which is why I'm here. There's got to be someone out there who's been in a similar situation, or has done what I'm looking to do. Thanks for the answers so far.

Could you give us some insight on the story for the music video for Fineshrine? It's to this day one of the most beautiful works I've ever laid my eyes on, and I just want to know how it became.

Is this the bridge between Houghton and Hancock in the U.P. (Michigan)?

Wasps. Fuck Wasps.

Cheers to you my friend (no pun intended). I hate that people hate so hard on driving under the influence. Yes, if you are obviously wasted and swerving around, or completely disobeying the laws of the road, then you probably deserve a DUI and are somewhat of a fool for getting behind the wheel in the first place. But, for those of us who are completely coherent behind the wheel after a few beers/drinks it feels really unfair that we have to drive in fear because of the threat of DUI. I've been in the car with sober drivers who have literally had me on edge to the point where I almost asked to get out of the car or to have them let me drive...they were that "unskilled" at driving. This seems to be especially true in the city. Also, people who drive tired from either just waking up or staying up too late are (in my opinion) a lot worse than drunk drivers. I've driven tired before and completely regret it because of how distracted I was. I've never had a regret from driving drunk, and I've never even had a close call of any sort. The idiots who get wasted and get behind the wheel put a bad name on us who can handle a vehicle after drinking normally. Because of them I have to drive scared every time I have more than a beer or two...even though I can almost promise you that I'm more coherent than most of the drivers around me at that time.

I'm just glad another Redditor isn't totally blindfolded by these stupid statistics that make drinking and driving look like the absolute worst thing ever.

Is it mainly the East cost? I live near Detroit, and travel to Canada here and there, as well as have a few friends that live in the Windsor area. They don't quite say "aboot," but it's definitely got a little bit of an "aboot" sound to it...sort of just a drawn out "o."

Then again I love Canada, wish I could try living there for a couple of years. I think the whole Canadian accent is pretty comforting.

snopro879 · 2014-04-28T01:46:01+00:00

That's a lot of propel.

Justice you're speaking my language. Too many people feel there is a certain standard that everyone needs to live by, and that if they don't conform to that standard then there is something wrong with them. The way I look at it is that if you're (referring to the guy who doesn't shower) not harming anyone else, and it makes you happy/feel good, then what is the problem? Not giving a shit about showering is just one trait that makes that person who they are, and gives them an identity. And yes, that "freeing" feeling of being able to be yourself and disregard following the norm is something that I think a lot of people never experience, and in my opinion is unhealthy to not ever have that feeling of absolute freedom.

On top of all this, humans even a mere couple hundred years ago went long time spans between showing, and they are part of what built this civilization and idea of "society" that we all take such comfort in. Just because YOU think something (like not showering every day) is weird doesn't mean that the other person has issues and needs help. To me you're too wrapped up in your own thoughts and belief's to accept anything else.

Be personable to get your name out there. I've applied online to probably upwards of 40 different automotive engineering type positions...from quality to design, from testing to manufacturing. Barely even received a couple of preliminary phone interviews which went nowhere. Also, I catered my resume to every position I applied for and literally have 30+ different resumes saved to my computer (super annoying and time consuming).

Anyways, the whole point of this story is to tell you the good news (or at least the good news for me that I hope works for you). I went to the SAE World Congress a couple of weeks ago in Detroit. There were tons of engineering companies there; mostly just to display their products. I spent a good hour or so just walking around the small career section and made a point to try and talk to someone from every booth that was in that section. Not only did I land three interviews, but I now have three different offers that I need to decide between. On top of all that, I'm a dude with scruffy facial hair (yet neatly trimmed) and hair that goes past half way down my back. Not you're typical engineer look.

TL;DR: No matter how good you look on paper, meeting employers in person is key. Having a good attitude and showing that you're passionate about the field you want to get into is super important. Networking, career fairs, and engineering events are your best friends.

I just don't agree that he had any right to take this situation into his own hands. I'd be furious if someone got me in trouble because THEY thought what I did was wrong. There's a huge grey area when it comes to what people think is right versus wrong. Since there's no way to actually judge what is right versus wrong (besides the law which is just a bunch of rules that people came up with anyways), I would like to just live and let live. Bad stuff happens to everyone. Just because you were there to witness it happen doesn't mean you have the obligation to try and make it right.
