You can sit on your plane at the airport for an extra 30 minutes to 2 hours. The extended stay is free. If people ask why you sat there, say ' oh, we were waitng for the customs and security lines to thin a bit '

There is a shortage of third party security personnel. Customs is understaffed a bit. In truth, that 2 hour wait is rare. Mostly, its 30 - 45 minutes on the plane. Canada, still retains COVID protocols that require in person checks w/ staff.

However, in true Cdn fashion, the delays will ease in a month - maybe. We've been promised more hirings and expedited training for third party workers. As well, CV 19 checks will be simplified.

Welcome to Canada ! Do not move from your seat, thank you.

Approx 8 - 10 years ago, Toronto had ' the summer of the gun ' - well, we've replaced that year w/ this. Oh, its been building up but this year, we've achieved real status in gun deaths and shootings period. AND we have not hit the hot weather, yet. Apparently, we shoot better when its sweltering. OR guns aim better when the metal is warmer.

We passed the first heat warning of the year. Ah, it was a 2 day event. We are cool w/ rain and then warm w/ sun.

OK. My crown is in place. The chip was severe and the fillings meant that there was not much tooth left to attach anything to.
The crown is beautiful. But thank goodness that I can chew on that side
