After their flight to Winnipeg was cancelled due to intense fog, four strangers banded together to forge their way home in time for Christmas, not by plane, but by rental car.

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?

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.
It’s Boxing Day. Hardly anything newsworthy has happened today in Canada.

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.

I’d like to hear more “news” about people working together and things turning out okay in the end.
