You've Got to Be Kidding Department!!!

In spite of efforts to make absolutely doubly everything idiotproof, we keep discovering newer and more creative idiots.

A passenger fell from a Boeing 777 while it was on the tarmac at Toronto Pearson International Airport, sustaining injuries after opening the cabin door before takeoff on Jan. 8.
The occurrence took place during the boarding of flight AC056, an Air Canada flight destined for Dubai from Toronto, as first reported by Global News.
The passenger, who had initially boarded without issue, opened a door on the aircraft’s opposite side while the plane was still at the gate, leading to an unexpected fall onto the tarmac. The event necessitated the intervention of emergency services and authorities.
The incident caused a significant delay for the flight, nearly six hours, which was set to transport 319 passengers.

[Ok. Here is what I don't understand. How does it take 6 hours to pick the guy up, do whatever with him, and get the plane in the air? (I know, I know, It is Pearson, so what can I say?) I also wonder how come if somebody gets a boo boo on a major highway why they close it down for half a day while traffic, including emergeny vehicles, stacks up, and the cops drink coffee and stand around scratching their clueless... er... heads?]

Canada Has Gone Woke and It's About to Go Broke...

Not just Climate Alarmism and Gender Nonsense anymore.In a nation once defined by hard work, innovation, and shared prosperity, Canada is sleepwalking into fiscal and social ruin under the banner of performative “reconciliation.” We’ve seen the warning signs globally: companies like Bud Light hemorrhaging $1.4 billion in sales after its ill-fated Dylan Mulvaney campaign alienated core customers; Jaguar’s cringeworthy 2024 rebrand pushing electric cars and “inclusivity” that bombed so hard it was scrapped amid plummeting stock; Harley-Davidson retreating from DEI mandates after backlash from riders who just wanted motorcycles, not lectures. These weren’t isolated fumbles, they were self-inflicted wounds from chasing social justice optics at the expense of reality. Now, Canada is the latest casualty, with “woke” poli...
