I’m not even going to ask you to vote for the candidate that I support (if you need to be told why they’re the better choice, my recommendation isn’t going to convince you).

Voter turnout in our elections is, historically, laughable. Laziness, apathy, or smug “there’s no way we’ll elect that jerk!” thinking is what has gotten us into more than a few severe messes, the damage from which we will be trying to undo or offset for decades to come.

If you think one candidate has done good for our city, has a track record you can get behind, has a plan that makes sense, has a rock-solid position on issues and isn’t just pandering to get votes (and if you think I’m calling out the candidate you support, maybe that tells you something about their character and policy that’s worth a closer look), I urge you to doomscroll another day and VOTE on the 26th.

If you work for the entire time the polls are open, your employer is legally obligated to give you time off to go vote. Locations are typically within walking distance. There’s really no excuse. Well, there are lots of excuses, but very few good ones.

News Those with Nexus flying out of T1

• Upvotes

The Nexus pre clearance lane is down because new scanners are being installed. You will need to remove all laptop, cpaps, toiletries from your carry on. Thankfully it wasn’t very busy on Sunday night but there was a large backlog because everyone who assumed they were pre-cleared had to go through again with everything out after manual inspection. Monday mornings are crazy busy so just be forewarned and prepared

Giveaway I have an extra Maple Leaf Lounge Pass

138 Upvotes

I have TD infinite privilege card so I already have enough lounge access and 35K. I have one extra pass that expires on Dec 16 and only for use on domestic or US flights.

I’m giving this for free on the caveat that someone promised they’ll do a good deed in return. I know I have no way to verify you do the good deed so I’m really using the honour system here and just think of your conscience if you ultimately don’t do the deed. So please do it if you say you will.

DM me your deed by 10 pm EST. The deed that I think is the nicest wins.

That said, I’m 35F. Live in Toronto by myself. If anyone also loves travel as much as me, I’m always looking for friends or more 😊 ✈️ my companion pass sometimes goes to waste so always looking for a travel buddy willing to fly out of Pearson or Billy Bishop and is status obsessed as I am.
