Er, Elon Musk is walking from the Twitter deal and Twitter is suing!

Can someone explain how Air Canada flights of say the past 6 weeks don't have space for carry-on luggage (I'm not aware of how flight crew is updating front counter staff unless there is a mgmt directive to say no room)? Is one passenger using more than one spot? The check-in bag thing triggers fees which must hurt when the bag goes missing.

Update on the #RogersOutage/Interac shutdown from Friday-it was a maintenance issue.
In a written statement, Staffieri said the company is continuing to monitor its network for issues and investigate the root cause of the outage.
"We now believe we've narrowed the cause to a network system failure following a maintenance update in our core network, which caused some of our routers to malfunction early Friday morning," he said.
Guess who else had issues on Friday? The CRA system was doing error messages (on another direct-deposit day to boot).

Someone's idea of justice delayed?

Ivana Trump's funeral will be held on today. She was Donald Trump's first wife and mother of his oldest three children. Plus she had undertaken some business ventures of her own and held real estate. Ivana was 73 years old.

I realize this is a long-ish clip but I just had to post it as i was both laughing AND cringing at the brutal honesty in everything he said. The intermittent breaks where he stops to explain what the British version of a word is was quite amusing to me. Unlike the Queen..... I WAS amused! ha ha

Five more passport offices will be added to help with passport applications. That means Whitby ON is getting its own office again, saving residents from a trek to Scarborough. Brampton ON, two sites in Quebec plus Richmond BC are the other locations.

Further information about why Rogers could not switch its customers to other carriers during the Rogers outage of July 8, 2022:
https://www.thespec.com/ts/business/...mended_for_you
It also reveals how the sweeping outage across its network limited its ability to respond with interim solutions while it restored service.As a result, Rogers was unable to route most 911 calls or deliver four emergency alerts during the service disruption.
Despite competitors offering assistance during the outage, the company said it was unable to switch customers to a rival carrier.
It said doing so would have required access to parts of its system that were down during the outage.
Competing networks, Rogers said in its submissions, would also not have been able to handle the extra sudden volume of wireless customers, which the company pegged at more than 10 million."This is the Way." The Mandalorian

@walkonby I cannot understand how Boris Johnston got elected three times into political leadership.
Do consider looking at Larry The Cat on Twitter-the handle for someone speaking for the Number 10 cat in residence.
Beaker resembles Mr. Johnston.

Remember Port of Dover over in England? The one that had that awful Christmas 2020 of truck drivers waiting days to drive into Calais due to Brexit?
Guess what...summer travellers going to France are experiencing long delays waiting for customs checks into France.

France says it's not responsible for the delays.

Doug Ford, ON premier, was speaking. On camera. He swallowed a bee.
Does he go to the emergency room? Will the ER be open or closed? If opened, will he jump to the front of the line?
and
Should there be a funeral for the poor bee?

Guess there's no agri-bees-ness to worry about in our province of buck a beer (oh, wait hops and other grains need bees too. Darn!)

I was delighted by 2 of this mornings news headlines for very different reasons.
First headline:
Serena Williams Advances!!
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/08...lliams-us-open
Second headline:
Sarah Palin loses special election
https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/31/polit...ots/index.html
Note: Democrat Mary Peltola won the special election to fill Alaska's House seat for the remainder of 2022, and is set to become the first Alaska Native in Congress, halting former Gov. Sarah Palin's bid at a political comeback. Palin will get another shot at the House race in a few months, as she and Peltola are among those vying to fill the full term in a separate election in November.

Saw on Twitter tonight that Liz Truss, new Conservative Party leader/incoming UK Prime Minister has a Canadian connection! She spent a year in Canada as an elementary school student in BC! Just hope she does better at governing UK than her predecessor (I'm certain Spitting Image will be on top of current events any day now).
Alas, the Larry the Cat Twitter account thinks she won without merit."This is the Way." The Mandalorian
