  • So there’s a definite lack of a flare before touchdown. My instinct is that a sudden, last-second change in the wind caused the aircraft to lose control authority, and the pilots were not able to de-crab or flare the plane. It looks like it landed very hard, slightly sideways, and the landing gear immediately buckled and the plane started to roll.

    I’m wondering if there might have been some wake turbulence on the runway. Particularly because the airport was already operating in chaos mode, after getting hammered by a massive snowstorm that forced 300 flights to be cancelled on a holiday weekend.

    Ah yes, make our international relationship dependent on some nebulous, unachievable standard that you just pulled out of your ass. Make us think we’ve been the shitty trade partner and give us the cold shoulder until we prove how much we really want this.

    Trump is coming up with excuses after the fact and trying to blame us for his own toxic behaviour. Textbook abuser nonsense.





  • Given how the hard the postmedia gang is trying to portray this guy as an international elite who looks down his nose at common folk, I wouldn’t put it past the bootlickers over at the Edmonton Journal/Sun to pull a stunt like this.

    To be fair though, Carney’s entire campaign thus far has been focused on demonstrating humble roots in a blue-collar town. Well, Laurier Heights aint that humble. Not that a person’s upbringing is necessarily relevant to their politics anyway. But that’s my ultimate point here - none of this matters. The entire discourse is just meaningless idpol noise. Canadian politics are such a joy.
