Maybe Metrolinx dumping DB was not 100% a bad idea? They are not terribly good at running trains. delaybahn.com/rangliste
Infographic comparing European train punctuality. The Netherlands ranks first at 94.7%, Switzerland second at 94.5%, France third at 80.3%, Austria fourth at 71.8%, Italy fifth at 60.5%, and Germany sixth at 49.7%. Each panel shows the average delay and percentage of cancelled trains, with a map illustrating the countries and their reported punctuality.

Months in Porter Airlines has yet to figure out how to operate into YHU (Montreal Met). 10 minutes to attach the jet bridge, FIDS with no/wrong gate info, and Denmark prices for food in-terminal. Not impressive at all.

I know the folks at @moredotsmorelines.com are not huge fans of the “express lounge” concept, but I was impressed with the one at YUL. AC lounges there are swamped, so was nice to grab a couple just-prepared Montreal Smoked Meat (medium fat by the looks of it) on rye for my Dash8 hop to YTZ.

Thick slices of smoked meat and a layer of yellow mustard are visible inside the sandwich. The aircraft sidewall and window area are in the background, with part of a brown paper bag visible in the lower left.

Sharing the 1990 Bisexual Manifesto once again to remind everyone that bisexuality was NEVER binary
The 1990 Bisexual Manifesto

 We are tired of being analyzed, defined and represented by people other than ourselves — or worse yet, not considered at all. We are frustrated by the imposed isolation and invisibility that comes from being told or expected to choose either a homosexual or heterosexual identity. Monosexuality is a heterosexist dictate used to oppress homosexuals and to negate the validity of bisexuality.

Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or dougamous in nature; that we must have “two” sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross all sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone’s sexuality — including your own.

We are angered by those who refuse to accept our existence; our issues; our contributions; our alliances; our voice. It is time for the bisexual voice to be heard.
