Your definition of what is and isn't "absolutely unethical" isn't always going to synch up with everyone else's definition: it's a complicated world out there, and shockingly, your personal ethics aren't always going to be universally accepted Yyzsaabguy, it wasn't his personal ethics. It...

You got defensive quick didn't you? Watch your blood pressure princess. Bribery is against Canadian law in Canada. Hence the comparison. These companies are breaking Canadian law. If you defend corruption, you can expect to be called out for it. Insult all you want, but you've made your character q...

2. However, to your point: sex with an individual under the age of consent is illegal in Canada, so Canadian sex tourists are (I assume) liable for prosecution in Canada under the criminal code. I say assume, because I've never had occasion to look into it - maybe you have? This is not very nice to...

You both realize that in any of these places bribery and corruption are illegal as well right? Saying that we shouldn't disadvantage Canadian companies from breaking the law to create a level playing field sounds more than unethical. I'm not a liberal or otherwise and have no horse in this race, bu...

I agree with your point that bribery is the norm in some other countries, and that we shouldn't disadvantage Canadian companies from competing on a level playing field. You both realize that in any of these places bribery and corruption are illegal as well right? Saying that we shouldn't disadvanta...

Sure, a DPA might have been the better option, but the DPP rejected that solution as inappropriate (if you review the requirements at https://www.osler.com/en/blogs/risk/september-2018/deferred-prosecution-agreements-dpas-come-into-force-in-canada , for example, you might be able to guess why that d...

Nerve? Putting the SNC charges to bed with a deal and moving on is exactly what any government should have done in this case. That some minister thought making a career out of bringing down a corporation was a good idea and dug in over it... well that's the company they're keeping over there on the...

You're not looking very hard. Don't be lazy. The info is readily available. Not looking to hard. *Sigh* Ya know...........in the time you took out of your no doubt incredibly busy day to post not one, but two, totally unhelpful and unnecessarily belittling replies, you could have actually helped ou...

Great question, Old Fella, and I'll be interested to hear if any former crew have anything to contribute. In the meantime, you might find this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmakSwlYLs0 fun to watch - nice short field technique which turned out to be somewhat more aggressive than initially thought....

Excuse me but who do you think kept all those de Havilland things going all those years? Viking didn't do any of the hard work to get that junk certified. I'm very happy for Viking, I would have liked to get involved with them when I was a pup; just don't kiss off Bombardier because they learned to...

Spitfire ab initio and conversion training now available: https://www.barrons.com/articles/flying-spitfiresno-military-experience-required-1543961306 . At C$423,000 and an estimated 3 years I'm guessing a fairly limited ab initio market....however, for existing PPLs with warbird experience, a conver...

The NTSB is scheduled to meet tomorrow and release its findings and recommendations, according to https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-24/after-near-disaster-ntsb-eyes-tech-to-keep-planes-on-runways . Unsurprisingly, crew fatigue and failure to adequately review pre-flight warnings about ...

And while we're at it let's stop all this nonsense about Canada having a special relationship with the US and accept that we're just another enemy/competitor as they view every other country now. Exactly. And while we`re at it, enough of the bleeting about how 'our friend' Mexico left us at the NAF...

I was on the ramp when an SAR Cormorant landed then hover-taxied, at walking pace, for six minutes, grit-blasting mine and everyone else's tied-down aircraft. Does that count? Sure, it counts. Could have said so without the whining. Snowbirds, Demo-Hornet, & Harvard 2 should be there. So, to be...

Sheesh. I see the usual killjoys are busy on twitter, outraged over the airshow's supposed potentially traumatic impact on refugees, not to mention gratuitous displays of the "expensive toys of the military-industrial complex" and the needless conversion of fuel into noise: https://nationa...
