Minister of Transport is an embarassment

I was watching the news and I watched that Bully's intentional bad behavior as a paid employee of ours.
Can you imagine what it must be like to work for the man? What a creep.
This is who guides us?
He owes Canadians an apology, at the very least.
Suspend him without pay, and send him to anger management class.

He is very un-Canadian.

I love him. If he was my MP, at the next election I would vote for him early and often!

Well Hedley...

You have just proven that you have no sense or judgement - wonder why you are still alive after defying gravity for so long.

Baird is the most short sighted, autocratic, self loving, arrogant bastard that I have ever had the displeasure to meet. If ther is going to a downfall of aviation in Canada - it will be his legacy.

If you like un-Canadians, why don't you just f&*k-off to the south!

Long enough to know that once you get passed the smile and handshake that there is something deep rooted and that it is a personal agenda that is driving him. An agenda that has nothing more than his best interests at heart; the aviation industry to him is simply a potential liability on his career. One that he wants to keep as far away from himslef as possible.

Imagine that in politics.

I did see a bit of his tirade last night. Just sounded to me like another coconut that likes the sound of his own voice, exuding his self proclaimed importance.

Yeah, PP hurt my feelings when I learned that Baird out-ranked me in the high school anti-popularity contest

Also sounds like Baird's boss. It's sickening where this country is heading under his "direction". And I'm amazed how my avCanadians are Harpy fans. Well maybe not that surprised; we've established many many times what dumb-asses pilots really are.

Bbbbut the sponsorship scandal...

Baird and Clement are two of the best examples of Classic BS/double talk spewing, self serving politicians around - learn from them and you can have a successful career doing nothing for your Country while 'earning' a full pension too.

The Ministry is actually that of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities ... not just Transport. The portfolio is far too large and Baird inherited a real sore thumb with the whole Transport sector ... not just aviation.

That's why they have two Ministers...

Ah, the left coast is heard from

btw, your VW microbus in the parking lot with the peace sign hand-painted on the side, and the pot leaf painted on the other side, has it's lights on.

Personally, I think Stephen Harper is the best Prime Minister Canada has had in living memory. You want to objectively stack him up against Cretin, Mulroney or Trudeau?

Hmmm, wonder what those 3 yokels have in common.... Oh wait, I know! They had all Canadians' interests at heart. Right? Anyone, anyone, Bueller...?

Is dis ting on?... En tout cas, j'en parle plus. Baird is a little slack-jawed at times but I'm pretty sure that's a prerequisite for the job.

Uninvited ministers spark committee chaos

http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/News/Canada/ID=1511689826

A parliamentary committee looking into the Rahim Jaffer affair
descended into a shouting match during an unprecedented and
uninvited appearance by a trio of cabinet ministers, led by
Transport Minister John Baird.

Best prime minister spending 1 billion of our money for a fews days of g20?

People like harper because he believes that white male christians (cult follower?) are superior to everyone. And that the ends justify the means. No different from any dictator in history.
Most dictators are widly popular.

For a while.
They rage against their enemies (the other!) and promise to keep us safe (ha!)

Don't beleive me that we're in a cult?

Our Glorious Leaders tell us we have to lose one of our own each and every week on average, in some country that most people can't even find on a map.
But we;re told we can't leave. It would be an insult to those who have fallen!

But if we were not over there, we would not be dying one per week

Oh wait did I try to use LOGIC on a cult? Not possible.

Smile you just handed 1 billion over to the cult leader.

Let's all go to his church and pray to god. OUR god is real! not like that stupid imaginary god of our enemies LOL.
I know our god is real. Cult leader told me so!!
Our Glorious Leader is a good, godly family man who believes in godly values and will smite our enemies for us.

I'd be laughing if this was not so sad...

What?! I don't know if you ever noticed, but Harper is the leader of a precarious MINORITY government which the opposition could have brought down any time they wished. But, they have chosen not to.

If that's a dictatorship, I'm the Queen of England.

white male christians

You're the racist in the room, buddy. Don't project that crap on us. Canada is the most tolerant country in the world when it comes to race and culture. If you don't like it here, why don't you go back to the middle east where you came from?
