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

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.

The worst for customer service for me is WestJet.

The same FA had given my wife serious attitude before that at our seats dealing with a jerk passenger.
FA thought we didn't speak mandarin. This was just before United beat the shit out of that Asian doctor and dragged him off the plane.

Yeah, We had a long talk with the Lead FA. the FA had the riot act read to her after for sure.
It was pretty funny for me though, while the wife and FA are arguing, the other FA's eyes are wide as saucers, and I'm holding a kid, casually asking," which washroom has the change table? And btw, please send your Lead FA to our seats. The other FA knows where we're sitting. Thanks!"
When we were deplaning, we waited till almost everyone left, as we had a 1 yr old with us and didn't want to hold up everyone else. The FA came up to us and offered to take my wife's carry on. We said no thank you, and she scream-yelled, "LET ME PLEASE HELP YOU WITH YOUR LUGGAGE!!!," and ripped the carry on from my wife's hand and walked us off the plane to the terminal.
Anyways, don't talk smack in other languages in front of other people. You never know who speaks what.

The worst for customer service for me is WestJet. I hope they fail and go bankrupt. | I lost track of how many flights I've had with WestJet and never had a problem, meanwhile in the handful of flights I've done with AC they've last minute cancelled flights and redirected me with stupid routes multiple times that have cost me a bunch of time and money.
WestJet isn't as good as they used to be though, long story short a relative of mine that was booked on a late flight after a connection asked if she could hop on the earlier flight to the same location since it wasn't full and all she had was a carry-on. They told her she'd have to pay more than she'd originally paid for the flights just to make that change. 5 or so years ago they used to do that for me for free all the time.
United is still by far the shittiest airline I've ever flown with though.

the trick is to slip $100 between your passport when checking in
I've never done it, but I think it'll work for a person that looks like Badhobz

What a strange house, I have to guess they were constrained quite a bit by the grade.
Only 2 BRs upstairs is going to limit their buyer pool sharply, and that garage is so high it's practically on the second floor. Great view from the master bedroom but this is your DETACHED GARAGE in your yard and it looks like a small apartment building: 
EDIT Oof that pricing history  | |

And anyone who decides to buy this house and might be OK with a building across the street will likely still have to worry about the neighbouring house being sold as part of a land assembly in the near future, leaving them with a massive building as their neighbour. A lot of this is happening on the west side, which is why you’re seeing many homes priced well under assessment. There was a time a few years back when residents refused to build laneway homes because they thought it would cheapen the area. Now there are more duplexes, multiplexes, townhomes, and apartments going up in primewest side areas than on the east or south side. The west side isn’t what it once was.

Here's the building going up across the street:
