Just Not ready

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Our Liberal government has summoned the CEO of Air Canada to testify.

His condolence message, after the tragedy at La Guardia that claimed two Air Canada pilots, was only in English.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Apparently Air Canada is subject to the Official Languages Act but other airlines are not. Seems it's related to their origin as a crown corporation.

Permit the persecution of Jews.

Court rulings based upon race rather than justice.

Curtail free speech.

Declare law abiding citizens as criminals (gun ban).

Permit foreign interference in elections and economy.

Call a corporation up on the carpet for offering condolences post-tragedy in the primary language of the nation.

Yeah. Sounds par for the course for the virtue signalling Liberals.

Mary Simon have an exception?

Aren't their bigger issues for our Parliamentarians to be concerned with?

This morning the phone messaging system at Mark Carney's Nepean Constituency office was only in English.

This afternoon it is bi-lingual.

Bi-election in Terrebonne because the one vote Liberal win over the Block was tossed out by the Courts.

Even more disgusting, but not surprising, that some are trying for cheap political points over the tragedy.

Gotcha. You are 100% correct though, they all play games.

And as Tops says, its disgusting.

Using tragedy to further a cause isn't necessarily the bad part, its the stupid ass lip service and knee jerk reactions to said tragedies that are the issue.
