    Did they all find love with their childhood sweethearts and ditch their spouses who were just trying to pay for their living expenses on a single income?

      Yeah it’s not a Hallmark movie unless there’s a incredibly questionable romance and a underlying narrative of a busy urban woman leaving her career to live in a small white town where it’s a bit backwater and yet incredibly modern.

    I’ve done this a few times… Once, the Via train Toronto to Montreal was delayed because of a ‘jumper’, and the related police investigation… Rather than just sit there, I went and rented a car, walked into the departure lounge and said, “I just rented a car, I’m going to Montreal, I have room for four people, I’m leaving in 5 minutes.”

    I got four older women who took me up on the offer, and I dropped them off at Dorval and Gare Central. We had a great time, but it was short lived. :)

    Must be a cultural thing… doesn’t seem especially special or noteworthy to me.

        None of the people boxing in the streets performed any impressive maneuvers this year? And no gangs breaking out into choreographed dance boxing battles? 2023 is disappointing.
