Re: 25% Tariff on all non US made Autos.
As I stated earlier, the Conservatives government brought in the Free Trade agreement that is saving our economy today. The Liberals(and I would guess the NDP) opposed this. Thank the conservatives for this and your quite possibly your career/standard of living. If it were not for the free trade ag...

No, I mean Free Trade. John Turner and the liberals claimed that the conservatives had sold us out.

As for the previous 10 years of PP, he was a minister in a government that had a much lower crime rate and he voted to approve the natural resource projects that are saving Canada's economic life during our current economic war with the US. That is a hell of a lot. Economic war with the US? Hold on...

Re: Dreamliner Down in India
Yes, there is lots of description of the switch positions in the report. That's not my point. There is no indication anywhere that the accident aircraft switches were checked for proper function. Particularly the possibility of a problem with the lock out gate. So what, this crash was the 1-in-1,00...

If the FDR and CVR all show the switches were operated, it might not be worth it to test them further. From the preliminary report, quoted from AvHerald: The thrust lever quadrant sustained significant thermal damage. Both thrust levers were found near the aft (idle) position. However, the EAFR dat...

Misleading title, it's Fort Langley Air that's selling a couple of 180s on floats.
They moved operations to Pitt Meadows a few years back, and haven't been out of CBQ2 in a while.
