I believe there is general support amongst the population for such measures , other countries have enacted similar, perhaps more stringent. The health/ medical communities certainly are supportive, even some Provincial Premiers. Tis unfortunate as more layoffs will happen in the aviation and that support sector. Hopefully 2021 will be the year to get a handle on this shit show pandemic resulting in a better 2022/23.

For CDN based international carriers, 2021 is shaping up to be a repeat of 2020 (from a revenue perspective).

Suggesting that the CDN airline industry will have to wait until 2022 for meaningful recovery seems accurate.

People like yourself don’t care obviously because you no longer have to work and provide for a family and can just and troll and type personal attacks on your computer all day.

Hey if that’s what gets you out of bed every day, no harm, no foul.

To right. I thought my commentary on your original post wasn’t inflammatory to the point of setting off the “ bright lights “ here. Just stating what the general consensus is among the majority of the ordinary population who live/work outside of aviation. We have to be reasonable in that aviation is just one part of the many sectors affected by COVID-19. Many others are suffering as well who don’t fly airplanes for a living.

Cheers

In defense of Old Fella, he never said he supported or promoted the strategy. No one knows what to do and the politicians are panicking.

So I mentioned this before (Jan. 11th), that our idiot Prime Minister failed to order enough vaccines for our Country, and many on here (you know who you are) still gave him (incredibly)...the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, I was correct in my statement, and we as a Country will continue to stumble along for another month or two without the critical vaccines, meanwhile Covid runs rampant and mutates resulting in many more needless deaths, all because of this delay that was the result of a six month failed negotiation by Trudeau for a vaccine to be produced in Montreal by a company from CHINA, many more will lose their business, many more will lose their job... all while the rest of the world will be opening up for business, while we continue this lockdown! Do you realize we as a Country are now #19 in vaccinations of population following behind the likes of Isreal/UAE/Serbia/Iceland/Bahrain/UK/Ireland/USA/Malta/Romania/Switzerland/Poland/France/Germany/Spain/Turkey/Brazil/Italy/China :!: The USA alone have managed to vaccinate 30 million Americans compared to our supposed 900 hundred thousand, which is less than 1.26% of our population to date! :roll: Maybe it's high time you email your MP and ask, why Canada can't get vaccines for the next couple of months. ( and it has nothing to do with Pfizer retooling their production line in Belgium)! Do you realize Pfizer has the biggest vaccine production plant in the world located in Kalamazoo, Michigan (3 hour drive from our border), so why are we relying on a plant in Europe? Maybe it's high time you take things personally and hold Trudeau accountable...he literally shit the bed...again!

Somebody who just insulted a poster(in the previous post above this one) thinks Trudeau is doing a good job. And he stated how much he cares about people like you in this link from yesterday.

Dad, you have already used the same tired and scathing rebuttal today.

Can you explain why an individual with a differing opinion of your own is unfit to fly an airplane with passengers?

Or do you just like to throw sh*t like a monkey behind bars in captivity and not discuss your position with a cognizant response?

While I am not a huge Trudeau fan myself I understand that Avcanada is the true definition of a peanut gallery, and not one of us here is privy to the negotiations or the tiniest fraction of the information driving government decision making. I also understand that the vitriol directed at the PM by the usual set of clowns who juvenilely refuse to spell his name correctly comes from personal hatred of the man himself, not his policies or performance in his job. And that if necessary they would vomit the same shit his direction if all they had to complain about was the colour of his socks or his choice of haircut. Because they have.

For those guys it’s not the policy, it’s the person. The same holds with every issue facing us like climate change for example. They know f**k all about it but they sneer at it anyway primarily because of their intense hatred of two people - Al Gore and David Suzuki - and what they represent. Why they hate certain people and literally worship others is even more absurd.

It’s why I mock them. They aren’t serious.
