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?]

​I. The Banker in the PMO
​You have famously stated on camera, "I'm a banker, not a career politician." That much is evident. Your leadership has treated Canada not as a sovereign nation of citizens, but as a balance sheet to be "optimized" for global investors. You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
​II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
​As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
​The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...

Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
" Six years ago. Val’s health began to be compromised. She battled every day to reverse the vaccine injury after long battle in excruciating pain."
