I don't agree with all of your posts, ., in fact I get tired of some of the mud slinging that you do towards transport Canada and understand that you have had some frustrations in dealing with them and that is probably legitimate in dealing with any other government buerocracy (I know wrong spelling...

Beaver Crash

I too am offended. I should probably go back and read your website memorial and some of the points you made in your posts but I have been in Aviation in Canada for 18 years and found it to be a rewarding and interesting career.
