comment Codeshares - Can I expect the same service when buying from different airline?
Some airlines offer the highest economy fare-holders tiny perks such as a free meal that others are paying for, or a free alcoholic beverage. But these distinctions are tiny.

comment Paying for an on hold airline ticket without an itinerary receipt or confirmation number
Correct, I have had an airline website hang after I click Confirm and when I called, they could find the pending reservation and process the rest of it over the phone.

comment Connecting flight wait time 11 hours 20 minutes
Why would you think a US green card means "staying in Canada is fine" - they are separate countries. It's one thing to change planes staying airside and it's another thing to go out of the airport.

comment Why do so many business hotels have HLN as default channel?
I long ago realized that America has only two channels: sports and politics. Occasionally it has a third: violent crime. I solve this by leaving the TV off. There have been times I have been in a room for 5 full days and have no proof the TV actually worked. Once on Day 4 I discovered it didn't.

comment Are there alternatives to the ranger cabins in Algonquin Park?
Thanks, Sandra, for meeting the criteria stack exchange uses for posts with external links that some people might think are spam: you've identified your association to the link, made it clear what is on the other end of the link, and provided enough information in this answer that people don't even have to click the link. Your answer is also a direct answer to the question that was asked, rather than a tack-on to something unrelated just to promote yourself. Welcome to the site and I hope you have other answers to provide that are not just about your cabins specifically.

comment General security concerns about Cancun, Mexico
@Flimzy The first link in my answer contains numerous stories of Canadians killed in and near Cancun. It's a nice theory, that you're safe in a tourist town, and it's probably true, but "zero in decades" is most definitely not true. The police are happy to record beating deaths as accidents to make Cancun look safer, but that's not the same as being safer.
