  1. Our Cadet visit was in summer, and that Abbotsford Airshow is held in early August. No doubt that's why. Saw the Voodoos too, but they were like a car lot of Chevy IIs compared to a StingRay. At least Dougie spared us a stupid song video along with his usual inane comments.
  2. That's a dumb comment. When he took so long to act when no one else would and reacted in a Diet Pepsi version of what his Daddy did during the FLQ crisis. Of course Papa acted on actual terrorists and not a motley handful of disgruntled fools who didn't even know WTF they were exactly protesting and pretended it was vaguely about freeedom.
  3. Jeez you snivelling whiners. Rallying against the fact the Judge even recognized the guy's upbringing. And conveniently omitting the Judge gave him 7 years out of the 8 the prosecution was asking for, 2 more than the defence asked for. Hardly a 'break' to whine about.
  4. Living in BC where Ottawa can't Axe the Tax and it's far from the biggest issue in this province. Where Pipelines and Oil Tankers and offshore oil exploration are not popular causes, weakening environmental regulations is opposed by the vast majority, climate change is obvious to anyone looking out their own window and our individual rights still mean leave us alone and imposing yours on everyone else isn't one of them. Living in the 250 where we need improved infrastructure that's happens at a glacial pace and won't happen at all under parties that worship fiscal restraint and service cuts as Gospel. With people like you who keep voting Tory in spite of them having never done anything at all for them, the area they live in or the businesses that employ them. Where have you been? Asleep and dreaming? That voting Conservative because so many of your congregation does that you've been brainwashed into believing they are the ones representing the ideals of your faith? Wake up! You mean as Canada's Greatest Prime Minister? No Justin doesn't have his Daddy's spine.
  5. That was the CF104 Starfighter built under license by Canadair, the CF100 Canuck was an Avro Canada machine. Not that the Starfighter was totally useless, looked sexy as hell, went like hell, basically and X15 with jet instead of rocket motor. Then they wanted to use supersonic interceptors for ground attack! Still remember when they let us 15 yr old cadets fondle and crawl around one in Comox. And sonic booms from them during the Abbotsford Air Show in the 1960s... They got their money's worth out of the CF100s. Served from 1952-1981 in various RCAF, NATO & NORAD roles.
  6. Would it really be 'cheating' if you just helped yourself to only what the cashier would have earned checking you out? Could still be classified as scabbing though.
  7. There's be no need to virtue signal if it wasn't so obvious that so many people have none. Gun makers have been gone after for their culpability, and you all know that cigarette makers have been too by every level of govt. Otherwise that thumb his nose arsehole Zuckerberg' Facebook wouldn't be the only platform advertising cigarettes. Yet here you are complaining that the BC govt shouldn't simply because you don't like them they're NDP, and calling others hypocrites.
  8. What in incredibly stupid interpretation of social justice. Even without the usual racist BS that accommodating anyone else is discriminating against white Christian males.
  9. So PP wrote a letter to David Eby suggesting BC turn the Carbon Tax over to the Feds. How stupid is he? BC has had it's own Carbon Tax long before Ottawa even though of it. Of course Eby laughed at the suggestion. - hand all the revenue to Ottawa and get no influence over it on top of less revenue? - go along with PP's single issue election platform and had him more federal votes? Lose all revenue for BC on top of all credibility for climate action on BC's part? He could've just as well sent him a gun and asked Eby to "do the right thing" There is no 'advantage' or sensible reason for the average BC resident to vote for the Tories federally. Not liking Justin Trudeau is the least intelligent reason to support a Party that does and will act against your own interests.
  10. The Arrow was a sad chapter in our history, though again we did fall into buying into the near useless F100 series of interceptors when the USSR didn't even have fleets of bombers to intercept. They couldn't intercept ICBMs and decades later can't outrun missiles. In the long run, cancellation was rhe best decision. As for the training, it's not 1940 and we're the safe training spot for the whole Commonwealth, and training only a couple hundred pilots to fly US built fighters doesn't warrant the expense of our own school instead of theirs.
  11. No but his ill educated MAGA successors are quick to. But then again if you keep denying to yourself every reality obvious to even a dog, you'll devolve too.
  12. Oh yes, and the people that make guns have no responsibility for their use either.
  13. Easy solution. Don't do someone elses job for free. Even a disgusting SCAB won't do someone elses job for free.
  14. Vancouver gas prices are over $2 a litre and going up. The usual massive March hike before April 1 carbon tax, once again. You'll forget all about the 30-50¢ hike and shriek about the 3.5¢ agian without fail, won't you? Nine dollars plus a gallon. Look at that 3.5¢ tree, not the forest !
  15. Negative Nellies distort seeking recovery of health-related tobacco and opioid damage costs into something bad. Again.
  16. Well then one good thing, all those Jan 6 rioters won't be able to vote.
  17. Banana loves being dipped in chocolate over and over (is that chocolate?)
  18. What he's down to only 85 or 86 indictments? Oh Jeez that's a nothing burger! Vote the demented rapist fraud in as President. Yell louder, kick your arms and legs about. Show us you have even less than The Donald's no shame at all.
  19. If you don't have charging at home and forget every morning where the closest charger is, you should turn in your licence now and check into a care home. And it's just plain awful to depend on a govt hydro instead of Big Oil, isn't it? Giving up the freedumb of choice as to who rips you off for an actual vote on who calls the rules. Gawd, make up any petty argument to trash the concept and try to ruin it for others just because you don't want one yourself. schadenfreude
  20. And I would say optics.... repeat: they're already bought and paid for.
  21. Really, really desperate for a legally defined 2nd Class Citizen are you? Make them drink from separate fountains, use 'their own' bathrooms and sit at the back of the bus too? Not allowing citizens to vote after they've served their time just isn't good enough already? You act like it's something to be proud of.
  22. You don't need to advertise to a market you already own. Advertise to the ones you're trying to fool into buying what you sell.
