WestJet just got a whole lot comfier 👀✈️

is updating aircraft that previously had all-economy cabins, bringing them in line with the airline’s newer cabin design and layout.

The refreshed aircraft feature a more consistent Economy cabin with 30 inches of seat pitch, while reconfigured narrow-body planes also offer a Premium cabin with more legroom, adjustable recline, device holders and power access.

WestJet says updates to its remaining all-economy aircraft are underway and expected to wrap up by early September, while work to standardize its densified Economy cabins will continue through the end of 2026.

Are you excited to see the refreshed cabins on your next WestJet flight? 💺✈️

Did you know there’s a massive Cold War bunker hidden 75 feet underground just outside Ottawa? 👀

The Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum in Carp is a 100,000-square-foot, four-storey underground bunker built between 1959 and 1961 to protect key Canadian government and military officials in the event of a nuclear attack.

Today, you can actually head underground and explore it yourself. 😳

Inside, you’ll find the bunker’s blast tunnel, War Cabinet Room, Prime Minister’s Suite and even a huge two-storey Bank of Canada vault that was intended to protect Canada’s gold reserves during wartime.

And for a completely different way to experience the bunker, there are also escape room experiences inside the underground complex. 🔐

📍 3911 Carp Rd., Carp, Ontario
🚗 Just west of Ottawa
⬇️ 75 feet underground
🏛️ Four storeys & 100,000 sq. ft.
🎧 Self-guided and guided tours available

This Toronto photo booth is trying to find your soulmate 👀❤️
booth has popped up on Ossington with a dating experiment that matches complete strangers based on compatibility.

Here’s how it works: step inside, take a photo and answer a compatibility questionnaire. The booth’s algorithm then finds someone with compatible answers and prints two photos : one of you and one of your suggested match. 📸💌

The catch? All you get is their first name and photo, so actually finding them is up to you. 👀

The concept was inspired by a viral NYC photo booth with a similar matchmaking idea, and Toronto singles have until the end of August to give it a try.

📍 Lucky’s Exotic Bodega, 213 Ossington Ave.
📅 Until August 30
🎟️ $15

Would you trust a photo booth to find your soulmate? 👇❤️
