Bit of a long shot, but does anyone have an ozone machine I can borrow/rent for a weekend? The previous owner of my new-to-me E88 was a smoker and I'd like to get the smell out. I've already tried everything else short of an ozone machine - vacuum, steam machine, carpet extractor, with no success.

Leave them in the car for a month, should reduce smell by 50% at minimum.
That's how we get the smell out of our trucks at work when a smoker is in them for years
If the car was smoked in all its life...... Then there may be no solution....

Filed the delay/cancel complaint as you're supposed to get $400 on top for compensation. WestJet denied it claiming "labor dispute /strike.”
Filed a CTA complaint and now we wait.
Fuck you WJ. You cancelled it before the pilots took the job action, and you got a deal done before the legal strike deadline so no labour action happened.

1) start the offensive off by emphasizing the importance of import / export / trade
2) then demonize those union bastards
3) threaten to legislate the bastards back to work
4) if they still don't in a day or two, demonize Singh and the NDP for hurting Canadians and the Canadian economy
5) table back-to-work legislation, and make it a vote-of-confidence issue
6) if the Cons don't support it, lambast them too
6a) parliament would have dissolved at that point, and the campaign rhetoric would be -- only the Liberals is willing to protect Canadians and the Canadian economy
6b) if the Cons support it, take all the credit for themselves
Personally, at this point, I don't see what Turdeau would have to lose if they go ahead with back-to-work legislation. In fact, they have everything to gain from it.
But if they still don't act on the negotiation breakdown, they'd have to bear all the blame for it, and it will be very damaging for the next (federal) election where things are already not looking so hot for Turd/Libs.

we basically have a bunch of commy fucks in government. i seriously doubt they will do anything here with any sort of expediency.
Legislation should have been drafted the 2nd day of their strike as technically ports are considered an essential service
"Services that facilitate the transportation of essential supplies, personnel and services, including port/waterfront operations, road, air and rail operations;"
how the fuck can you allow an essential services to shut down for 2 weeks!?

news this morning is that this strike is officially deemed illegal since they did not provide a 72h notice. Thus the ultra-slow wheels of government will see about legislating these guys back to work with an announcement today.
Hilariously even if they do go back to work, they'll probably work at 50% of their previous pace so its not like it'll really solve anything

Don't get me wrong, i'm not on the side of the union one bit.
I also think gov't has to be very careful when it comes to back to work legislation. Free market negotiating is a cornerstone of labour relations and if the gov't is seen as being too heavy-handed, all the other unions will cry foul and then we'll have much, much bigger problem to deal with. There are a lot of union workers in Canada who the gov't relies on for votes.
I guess it's like dealing with a toddler, you wanna be seen as a the parent/authority figure, but you also don't want to say the wrong thing and cause a full blown tantrum.
So with that in mind, I think the gov't handled this one pretty well. It gave both parties ample opportunity to negotiate at the table, and they couldn't figure it out, so now it's time to come in and force them to shake hands.

Personally, I'm surprised to hear a big union messing up on little details like this, and I'd say the fed gov got lucky to be able to catch them on this technicality.

They don’t care about legalities. Some of their top dudes are full patch hells angel members so law abiding isn’t really part of the vernacular. Even if they get legislated back to work they’ll do it at a snails pace and our gateway will suffer the consequences.
They hold all the cards. Even if we fire them, they don’t care it’ll take years to go through grievances
