Historicist: "The city that nobody loves"
Elsewhere in the Ist-a-Verse
With self-check-in a success at airports around the country, Air Canada is preparing to implement a system that would see passengers check and tag their own luggage. Coming in 2009: who wants to learn how to fly a plane?
In spite of fears that we might not be as greedy as last year, yesterday stores were jammed with eager bargain hunters seeking shiny stuff. The crush is expected to continue through the rest of what's now called Boxing Week, to be inevitably extended into Boxing Month, Boxing Decade, and the Boxing Millennium. Have a happy Boxing Life, everyone.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced yesterday that Canadians shouldn't expect any cuts in personal taxes in 2008, since an expected economic slowdown means the government will need all the money it can get. Unlike, say, individual taxpayers.
In hockey news, the Canadian Juniors beat hosts Czech Republic 3–0 as they looked for a 4-peat—or whatever sports people call four victories in a row—in the World Junior Hockey Championships.

It's about bloody time AC allowed self-tagging. The self check-in system is great right now in theory - you sign in to their site 24 hours before the flight, print your boarding pass, and off you go, right?
Not so much. Everybody's got the same idea as you, and the web check-in line 99% of the time is longer than the standard check-in. Self-baggage tagging would solve this, since that's all anyone is waiting there in line for anyways.
They're already doing self baggage checks, at least in Terminal 1. You have to drag your suitcase through check-in, past customs, and just before security.
So you support tax cuts now?
