Air Canada is terrible. We are stuck with them as they are our main international airline. They straddle the line between full service and low cost as they sell flights with no checked luggage now. The food is absolutely terrible (but most flights leaving YVR is terrible, the caterer needs to be fired)

I had a more comfortable flight with Zipair than I did with Air Canada.

There are no service standards with Air Canada either. If you are lucky, you have a group that's very friendly and super helpful. If you are unlucky you get a flight crew that's all bitch face the whole time.

Most airlines I've flown are better, KLM, Air France, Lufthansa, Cathay, Singapore, JAL, ANA, Qantas, Alaska. The only flight that I can truly say was worse was when I flew Jetstar. I physically did not fit in those seats. Can I say I'm well traveled? No, but I've flown enough to have my own average to measure against.

Canadian airlines are all pretty trash compared to their international counterparts.

Between our airlines and our cell phone plan providers, we really like to power bottom for these parasitic entitles...

Flew AC direct to Singapore before Christmas. Wasn't but wasn't terrible.

Flew Cathay home from HCMC through HK and was noticeably better

What the hell is that garage house in the back of the Burnaby house, the van one looks nicer more detailed but the bby one looks more spacious.

I've noticed this too West Van houses aren't much more than Van houses but much bigger

In Burnaby if you have an attached garage then you're allowed to build a 600sf accessory building in the backyard. It's legally just a storage room (people are not allowed to stay overnight in it either) but if your builder plans ahead you can put in a half bath AND plumb/wire it for a potential suite. The half bath in this list is totally sized for a full bath and the listing makes a mention of a "guest suite" so maybe they converted it into a suite. Makes for a great man cave or gym otherwise.

Vancouver proper land sizes are typically quite small. Standard lot is 4k, and most hover around there, if not smaller.

Most of the munis outside have much better plots. 6k is pretty common for Burnaby and you can easily find 7, 8 or, 9k lots. Coquitlam will easily hit 10.

Of course, something is worth it when you can EASILY AFFORD IT

It's like telling a Mazda driver GAIZ YOU SHOULD BUY THAT FERRARI LIKE ME, IT'S SO WORTH IT
No. I was mainly discussing the value proposition of business vs. economy or first.

First is like 12x+ of economy. Even the best F doesn't warrant the price IMO and I have flew all the best ones (Singapore, Qatar, Emirate, JL).

Business, if you can find it at roughly 3x the price, the difference is justifiable for long haul flights. The seat, the treatment, access to lounge and whatever... I'd rather stay in econolodge and fly business than stay in Mandarin Oriental and fly economy.
