Those here who obviously admire Trudeau by their comments — also admire China’s dictatorship and persecution of its minorities.
I specifically retract this characterization. They aren’t the same thing.

When I’m wrong, I’m wrong.

I apologize to those I've offended.
All right. Takes a big person to do that. We will bury that hatchet. Thanks.
Peace…..

Have flown a couple of Q models but I used to fly a 1957 pre-A model. Trimmable stab, Johnson bar flaps, and a narrower fuselage. No cowl flaps.

I don’t see how this can be seen as anything but punishing someone who vocally disagreed with the government. The judge agreed.

Tamara Lich will not be sent back to jail as a judge lifted her ban from entering Ontario, but ruled to reinforce her ban from social media in a bail review decision Wednesday.

“The courts are not a thought police,” Superior Court Justice Kevin Phillips said as he rejected the Crown’s arguments that Lich should have her bail revoked over alleged breaches of her release conditions.

“We seek only to control conduct to the extent that certain behaviour will violate, or likely lead to violation of the law,” the judge continued. “Here, the objective was to keep a highly problematic street protest from reviving or reoccurring … No court would ever seek to control the possession or manifestation of political views.”

The Crown had argued that Lich breached the condition that bars her from supporting “anything related” to the “Freedom Convoy” when she accepted the 2022 “George Jonas Freedom Award,” which she is set to receive in a June 16 gala in Toronto hosted by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms.

Lawrence Greenspon, Lich’s lawyer, said the judge’s ruling would allow his client to travel to Toronto to accept the award in person, and he confirmed she also intended to attend similar gala events in Calgary and Vancouver, where VIP tickets cost $500.

In a phone interview following the decision, Greenspon applauded the judge for “soundly rejecting” the Crown’s efforts to send Lich back to jail.

Great news!

This is exactly how I would expect the staff in an HR department to think. She should have used her own advice and avoided posting to social media.

Covid has made people insane :lol:. Thank the politicians and “experts” for what they did to this woman’s mental health.

Lol… when the libs are asked by the NDP, can you explain the science of vaccine mandates for flying the answer is: it’s extremely problematic to our democracy to question our institutions.

@#$! the liberals are the biggest pile of trash that happened to the country. Everyone who voted liberal should feel remorse. Trudeaus liberal party has been the biggest threat to our democracy.

Anti-semite, the action itself is anti-semitic... but let's not let semantics get in the way of some good moral outrage.

Also, the Federal Government sacked this moron and ended the program; itself all headline news due to the "vile tweets" scandal.

Seems like a pretty cut and dried response to an outrageous bit of behaviour. But, why on earth do you keep dredging up this stupid convoy thread?

Abusing a six year old, gets less:

Tamara Lich for mischief:

They are Gunning for 10 years imprisonment. Wonder how much pressure has been applied to the judge here.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66678135

Something wrong here.

Its “not political”.

If honking gets you 10 years, making a passenger sit in vomit should get you 20.

Since the pilot is responsible for the safety of the passengers and crew.... flight should have never left....

Oh but wait... Pilots and crew are perfect.....

(cue all the vitriol)

Liberals are having quite a week.

Muslims are calling them out for slandering parents.

They’ve pissed off India in a lame attempt to change the channel from inflation.

https://torontosun.com/news/national/tr ... mat-claims

They are trying to get the truckers convoy leaders 10 years. For mischief.

And finally, after labeling everyone in the convoy and a large chunk of the Canadian public Nazis for not supporting them, they invite an actual Nazi on the house floor and honour him.

Well Done!

https://globalnews.ca/news/9985761/food ... rt-canada/

Nearly seven million Canadians are struggling to put food on the table as the cost of living and housing crisis continues to bite, according to a new report.

Brought to you by the party “for the middle class”

At least 2.8 million Canadians are living in poverty, which has been worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and inflation, among other contributing factors, Food Banks Canada said in its report.

:lol: Worsened by the pandemic? Tell the truth, it was not the pandemic, it was the government’s overreach, control, and decisions during the pandemic. It was lies such as pretending young people were high risk. It was intentional manipulation of stats to create fear. This was used for one of the most epic wealth transfers in history.

Could have been managed completely different, you know, follow the actual science instead of politicizing with mandates. Stop printing money and let people work. Liberal gov still living this stupidity today. Look how many federal workers are WFH and not getting their jobs done. Take your time to thank a liberal this week.

Sure…….

Let’s take a hypothetical stroll through Harper’s and his cronies post 2015 terms, shall we?

More union busting, because that’s what Conservatives do. Your wages don’t matter.

TFWs doing your jobs for less. Not immigrants going to Walmart or Tim Hortons. Licensed pilots from developing nations getting developing nations wages while licensed and typed Canadian pilots are out of work.

COVID. Sorry but Harper was also at the kids table in global affairs even licking Americas boots. The world would shut down and airlines would lay off. No money for you, should have been born rich. Don’t worry, your taxes going to shareholders is much appreciated.

Interest rates lowered and inflating real estate? It was a conservative trick before it was a liberal one, but instead of you keeping your house you get to lose it and then rent it back at double the price.

Really hard to say what the convoy situation would have been like. Since it wasn’t the scary man with the nice hair maybe provincial and foreign mandates wouldn’t have triggered the fringe minority so hard? Harper also didn’t seem to care for pleasantries like the Emergencies Act or giving people a couple weeks before unleashing tear gas and rubber bullets so maybe the collective brain cell would have been smarter? But still north of the border without a vaccine.

I know I’d be poorer. My portfolio has done splendidly in the last 7 years.

But hey. Maybe this time it will be different? Maybe a multimillionaire who has never worked a real job outside of government in his life… much less even been a drama teacher… will see the plight of the common man.

As the Conservatives introduce cabotage to give Canadians lower prices helped in part by lower wages of Canadian pilots and their TFW compatriots as they go BOTL on new American subsidiaries as Canadian legacies die. Pilots who will not be able to jump over to the parent American company.

JT voters are the 50 to 70 year old age group. The home owners, the people who own rental properties.

They are still delusional about why (other) people are unhappy. They don’t understand what 5k a month mortgage payments are like on Jazz or AC flat pay :lol: This because when they bough their homes they made the same or more, and their mortgage payments were under 1k a month. They don’t like Harper because he didn’t make them “rich” and didn’t inflate the currency. They will defend JT even if they have kids who are 40 and can barely afford to rent.

Make no mistake JT voters are not in the poorhouse. Infact as as the middle class dwindles and more people are poor, he is losing his voter base. JT thinks we need inflation, digital currency and soon he will add shine points as his solution to keeping the poor happy enough to vote for him again. “If I shine them 500 points, they can buy a loaf of bread, and this was not possible under the conservative government” said Trudeau. “We are making life better for all Canadians”
