Re: Carbon tax announced December 2020
It’s only 1% because we sweep it all under the table. We pass it on to other countries. We don’t count the oil and coal and natural gas we export because we don’t burn it here. We don’t count the steel and aluminum we import because we didn’t smelt it here. China is so dirty because it makes half t...

Re: Canadian Space Agency Political Selection
Watching spaceman in his lack luster job as transport minister is like watching a shitty movie and thinking did the director/producer/ et al just think it would turn out ok? I mean can they not recognize a steaming pile of shit?

Re: Should Canadian airlines stop flights to UK, New covid strain.
The lancet? Wait were they not the publisher of that famed junk science article linking autism with vaccinations? And did they take years to publish a retraction even though the author was basically outed for lying? Yes. They are one in the same. I have no trust in the lancet

Re: Maintenaince Costs For Cessna 172s
I owned a fairly high time 1965 172 G. It was roughly $800-$1400 for the four annuals i had it for. The first one was the highest and then went down from there. I had some parts that needed replacement like elevator bushings fuel drains and primer gaskets. The stuff that had detoriated over the year...

Re: Carbon tax announced December 2020
There are cities in china that pollute more than we do as a whole country. Canada is responsible for 10% of global emissions. This is a tax grab to fund blackies little vanity projects. Nothing more

Re: Garneau's fireside chat and PR campaign.
Did anyone expect anything more from a arrogant virtue signaling drama queen? Anyone who is “under” him is a weak rubber neck yes man and just as vapid.

You're probably the same guy who bought his house for 1/5th of the prices now then get mad when young people complain about rent. Yeah buddy i did while making 1/3 the wages that the same people are paid today. Ever hear of inflation? As i said before. It’s called life. Grow a set. And no, you or yo...

Re: Has anybody given up?
I don’t think anyone me included is saying older people had it worse or better. I am injecting a large dose or reality to this original poster. To think that one can decide to get a job at the pinnacle of a career by attending few ppl lessons is delusional. Even with the way it was last year nobody ...

WTB: Garmin 440w
Looking to upgrade my panel to the latest and newest 1990’s technology. I am seeking a Garmin 440 or a 540 for sale with indicator and tray, hopefully. I would only be interested in a WAAS model. I see several around for sale but all seem to be across the border in the USA. If anyone has one that ha...

Re: Has anybody given up?
A few years ago I started with a goal of working for a big airline in a few years, I was in my mid 20's and didn't have to money to commit to flying so I just studied theory and saved up for the flying. 4 years later I've been flying as much as I can but due to weather and how busy schools have bee...

Re: "Digital" 406 MHz ELTs to Be Mandatory - TC
Ah not sure if that usb connection is TSO’d or approved for certified aircraft position reporting or will work but thanks for the offer. Doesn’t need to be; it’s not designed for airplanes, so it’s not subject to parts sourcing rules. You’d want the DB9 12v version, anyway, not the USB. It’s even W...

Re: Can Tourism Operators Survive Another Year of Border Closure?
I doubt that there'll be the political capital for restrictive border closures/travel restrictions (especially if proof of vaccination) come next summer. So, I don't share in the doom and gloom. It won't be pretty, but I think it'll be better than this year. My guess is that there'll be some travel...

Re: "Digital" 406 MHz ELTs to Be Mandatory - TC
I would need a $10,000 CAD (I have priced it- with a used GPS) Maybe get someone else to price it for you. 75 USD. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/223 75 bucks US? That’s like over 100 cad. I don’t have that kind of cash. I own a plane, man! Ah not sure if that usb connection is TSO’d or approved...
