Hey FM,
If you do ever get on a flight somewhere just remember when that door closes, the Captain is the final authority to ensure the guests, crew and airplane are safe (especially from disruptive pax).
Can you accept that or would that make the Captain a tyrant?
Rules are rules, try to follow them. It what makes things kind of civil, you should be happy you live in a place where people line up for things.
I take it the Ponoka remark is what you consider clever and witty, right?
I can and do accept that when I am on a plane or ship or even a bus the Captain is the final law. I know and accept that. It is part of the terms of our contract and I unlike WestJet I honour my contracts and keep the law which is actually very simple regardless of how complicated some parties want you to believe it is.
Do not harm another.
Do not damage someone else's property.
Honour your contracts and do not use fraud or mischief in your contracts.
I was harmed by WestJet when they interfered with my rights and when they failed to honour their contract with me.
As for being unruly, ask the lovely lady I spoke with when I was denied if I subjected her to any negative emotions. I think her name was Sandra and she was polite and courteous and I believe I was also, even though I was angry and frustrated. I try to live my life with honour and in a manner that does not harm or deny dignity. I am sorry if you think that makes me unruly. In the past all the times I flew with WestJet, there was never a hint of a complaint about me and I even made friends with some employees who were traveling to some sports competition you guys have between airlines. Seemed like fun and nice people and I admit I am a bit of a nervous flyer and they helped make me feel comfortable and at ease.
You want to talk about following rules? Read the regulations and show me where it says clearly, specifically and unequivocally that once you have done your duty and asked to see government issued Identification that you have a further duty to deny the passengers without government issued id a boarding pass. Can you show me this, oh great lover of rules? That is what it will come down to in court, and since I have already deconstructed that Act and regulations and have sought legal opinions from a Queens Counsel and a regular lawyer and they agree with me. Maybe you should call your legal department and show them where it says that those without government issued id must not be allowed to board. Can't do it can you? Because you operate on assumption and without thought. If your mechanics operate in the same way, I don't think I want to fly with you folks any more.
And yes I am quite happy I live in Canada and that I am the kind of guy that will defend the rights that others died for and I do not want to see those rights lost by blind obedience and ignorance. Both I and my father served in the Military ready to stand and defend and if needed sacrifice. And this is what we get for it?
I have no problem carrying documents or identifying myself, and if the people in the government wish to provide it I would accept it as a gift. They won't accept that though, they want it to be issued as a result of a submission and application. This is a complete abandonment of your rights. I do not need to be in a contract with any government body in order to exercise the rights I was willing to defend, even if the whole rest of the country is asleep and deluded and never even look at the meanings of the words that are used to govern them. This allows deceivers to in effect steal our entire country and the rights which you seem to take for granted will be lost. They must be constantly exercised, or they wither and disappear. Let there be no doubt, if you are issued anything the issuing party is the master not the servant, and you are now in some form of contract or perhaps a trust arrangement where they get to administer your account. Anytime anyone is issued something, be it a uniform or id cards, they are now an employee of the one who issued. Why must I be employed in some manner by the government in order to exercise my rights? Telling me I must enter a contract that will allow me to be issued Id in order to exercise a right is extortion. And for your information, the Aide to the Minister agrees with me on all these points and is working to help find resolution without conflict or court. He knows you messed up when you denied me access because he knows how to interpret statutes and regs and he knows the standard required before rights are deemed affected.
As to the other point about id cards being issued by the World Freeman Society, they are in fact issued by the members themselves and they serve us a copy and we then certify that the one they have matches the one we have in our files. Thus they are the master and our administrative staff are their servants. This is how it is supposed to be, and how it used to be, before the population became so dumbed down.
Some people it seems will never wake up and will spend their lives as children who rely on smart ass quips like "When did we start flying to Ponoka" instead of engaging in a rational, logical discussion to find common ground and peace even though political or spiritual views and values may be markedly different. People will willingly sign documents with the words application and submission on them and never look up the meanings or examine the ramifications of those words, and when people like myself do, they are ridiculed for not blindly obeying.
Sad really when you consider how many sacrificed and how much they gave so we could have the rights we do. And yet when people stand to exercise them, people like you ridicule them.
So distressing sometimes....
