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...

That is a hell of a lot. Economic war with the US? Hold on...

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.
