It says 0 base pts and 0 SQC? I'm buying tickets on AC, flying United jets. Any insight, appreciated.

I’ve been flying some united flights - sometimes I earn points - from Minne to Austin, booked through Air Canada. But I didn’t get points for my trip back, also booked through AC website. From Austin to YOW. Tonight trying to book a flight on AC website, YOW to North Carolina. It says that no SQM or LQM will be earned. I don’t know why? The ticket is 014. This pic - what’s the difference? I can’t figure it out.

UPDATE - Since I posted this I was corrected in the comments. Leaving up the post but my original assumption was incorrect. Original post ….

Gather round children, I’m old.
I was driving out west with my brother, a last minute, “wanna leave tomorrow, or now?” moment. I was aware that there was a band out of Kingston that people were excited about. I was intrigued but not enough to buy the album. I will admit that I was suspicious about a band that everyone seemed to like. I’m from northern Ontario, so when I say everyone, I mean the hockey boys and the drama kids, the French, the English, everyone was into them. I kept my distance. For sure I had heard them played in bars and I remember some guy in a bar going crazy when the bar band played a cover of a new hip song - which I believe was another midnight. The album up to here had been out for only a few weeks if that. Somewhere in north western Ontario, between towns, when the radio sounded a little fuzzy, we heard NOIS. And I caught this line, “colonel Tom, what’s wrong? What’s going on? Can’t tie yourself up for a deal, he said “Hey North, you south, shut your big mouth you gotta do what you feel is real.” And that was it, we lost the signal to the static. I asked my brother “did you catch that?” I couldn’t repeat the lyrics, I had never heard them before. I told him what i thought I heard. Soon enough we were in range of the next station and not too long after that, NOIS was on the radio. Das Hips were exploding and that song was in heavy rotation. My brother and I turned the radio up and waited. And there it was … “wow” my brother said, “these boys have something to say.” Colonel Tom Poindexter, Oliver North and the Iran contra scandal. In a pop song, from a band from Kingston. I have been a fan since. As I’ve said hundreds of times since, you don’t listen to the hip, you read them. So hip it hurts.

One of my favourite things to do is jump on the O-Train, ride it far away and then walk/eat my way home. It’s a great way to get your steps in while seeing somewhere less familiar and allows for the discovery of some secret spots in different neighbourhoods.

Everything they serve at Drip House is very good, they know their way around the kitchen. For the most part I stick to their soft scrambled egg breakfast sandwich, which is just perfect. I am pretty sure the secret ingredient is drugs.

A good taco, these days, is hard to find. A good taco, the tasty kind. - Feargal Sharkey. Same strip mall as Pookies, Que Pasa Tacos is legit. I had a beef, a dirty pork sumanabitch, and then (I think) a birria. In the pic it’s the one on the right. If you need a little safety taco on your way home,this is your place. Carry on, according to the syllabus.

You probably don’t have a strong opinion about banana pudding. I’m not surprised—and neither is your mother. She’s just disappointed. Again. Why can’t you be more like your brother? I first discovered this little shack in the dead of winter, glowing like a beacon in the dark Canadian night. Who would buy banana pudding in that kind of cold? Me. As often as possible. There’s something about a tiny, hole-in-the-wall spot, standing there against the season, quietly serving up something simple and perfect—completely out of place, and exactly right.
