Ha, you really think a measure of success is you using over 800 posts to get your point across?? Don't try to make anyone other than yourself understand your methodology, because after 800+ posts, you have, so far, epically failed LOL

Naw, I don't think it is so dramatic. The February debacle is over. Whether what he did was needed will be debated forever and, he will be remembered as the son of the only other man that did that. The problem is Canadians themselves. This "leader" has screwed up so many times yet we forgive him and elect him back. If we are heading towards a "Tiananmen Square" situation, it is because we allow it and every 4 years, endorse it..

Like I said from the very beginning, the Ottawa Police screwed this up from the get go. The testimony has proven that. Other cities learned what not to do because Ottawa showed them how to screw things up. Yes, Ottawa has protests every day but none have ever occupied the city or behaved so badly.. Tiananmen Square? Are you still living in the past??The debacle is over and done with 9 months ago. Get current, stay withe times LOL

Baaa Ha Ha Ha.... are you off your meds again?? Ha Ha Ha

According to testimony, Windsor learned what not to do from Ottawa to clear protesters. Five reasons Windsor had success ending 'Freedom Convoy' blockade, but Ottawa didn't https://ottawa.citynews.ca/local-news/five-reasons-windsor-had-success-ending-freedom-convoy-blockade-but-ottawa-didnt-6082264?utm_source=Villager&utm_campaign=Content&utm_medium=Facebook_Graph&fbclid=IwAR2J8WpRDRWdqMHBodQbatY3HXLiQAdXZZEk6VZxp8zUuc_X5hItR8Udhfs

Kudos to you for taking that young man to the ceremony. Glad he could hear the stories and how much serving members think and respect his father and those that gave their lives for their Country. This year I went to the ceremony at Beechwood. A truly respectful and sombre place for Remembrance Day. Remembrance Day is also to appreciate and thank all those that have served and ares till serving. May we never forget them.

800+ posts to get your message through... Clearly you are not doing a proper job of it. LOL

Says you LOL

I am not sure what facts I had wrong? I responded to your comment "no PM that has pushed for updated VIP aircraft, those airbuses will be hauling troops until the seats fall out, or the PM says they will be upgraded. ". I responded to the updating of the VIP aircraft. Yes, Chretien government bought 2 Challenger VIP jets but they were to replace 2 old Challengers that were being retired. As for CFHA, it is an agency, not a DND department or organization. It manages the base housing. You were correct, pressure form the "downtowns" pushed the CFHA to increase prices as they did to increase prices in the Canex. As I said, almost all things that used to be for the military members like arenas and golf course etc, were basically made public and opened to everyone. We, the military lost.

OK, refresh me. What is your complaint? In Iran a woman passed away while in custody for not wearing a hijab? In Quebec they protested (and everybody in the country agreed with the protest) because the government said they cannot wear it? 2 protests over headress. Yes, I realize a person died but the basic issue is the hajib. Sounds like a religious issue in 2 different countries. One extreme in one direction, the other extreme in another direction.

I am confused. In Quebec there was outrage and protest because the government said they cannot wear the hijab. In Iran, they are protesting that they have to wear it. What are the women of Quebec protesting, for Iranian women to remove the hijab or for them to wear it?

Not CTV news but news nonetheless. Seems 71% of Canadians are on favour f masking again https://toronto.citynews.ca/2022/11/09/canada-mandatory-masks-indoors-covid19-survey/ https://www.iheartradio.ca/610cktb/news/majority-of-canadians-support-return-of-face-masks-in-indoor-public-spaces-if-deemed-necessary-survey-1.18770251 Not government but , the Canadian people LOL You must be shaking in you boots ???

Chuckle. You lose. ???

Of course you cannot. It would only make you look more foolish You remaining quiet = loop closed

Myata, you have yet to provide a worthy and wise contribution to any topic. You would be wise, if not worthy just to stop posting for a while and let your foolish and stupid comments be forgotten. Stay on topic.

Please myata, say nothing and let people imagine you are not the sharpest knife in the drawer but say what you did and remove all doubt.

The act of learning is observations of what went right or wrong in any give situation. It is a lesson you should "learn" LOL Reading comprehension is also something you should learn .

I was in the Air Force and was aware of the VIP fleet. I had friends flying them and maintaining them. No PM asked for upgrades with exception of Mulroney (remember the Taj Mahal scandal LOL). He was PM when we got the airbus and his office had input into the VIP package. The Falcons only had regular maintenance to their interiors as did the Challengers. The avionics did require serious upgrades. The PMQ's are managed under the Canadian Forces Housing Agency, which is a special operating agency that manages military housing on behalf of the Canadian Department of National Defence . The CFHA is not DND. I agree PMQ's were being torn down. Lack of occupancy was a problem for the military because no one wanted them. They put singles in there so they did not remain empty and deteriorate.The

Yeah but, look at all the employment they make and justified for the many decades making these ships /s

The upgrades for the aircraft were necessary so we could flying other countries airspace. Not so much for politicians but for operations. The Military gave all the PMQ's to CMHC because they did not want to maintain them. Also, the CFHA decided to increase rents because it was unfair to those that could not get in PMQ's (RHU's) and had to rent off base so, the equalized the rent. They also gave all (or most) rec centres, arenas, campgrounds, base golf courses and on base even boat ramps to the local communities for, in my opinion, PR reasons.

Chuckle, When you cannot accept your abject failure, you need to insult. You know nothing of my education, which may be much higher than yours. You make conjecture on things you nothing about so I understand why you and this thread are such a failure. Almost 800 posts trying to defend your position that is nonsense but you just do not see it's worthlessness. If and when you are right, then it takes only one or maybe 2 posts. You actually went as far as to use and insult paraplegic people as well. Sad sad sad. You are reaching lower and lower levels with each post. And then insult all others that do not see it your way. Sadly, you are what you are and seem to be unable to become a better person.

Hey dude... nothing will change for you or anyone else. It is what it is and it was what it was. No more information required. All your whining and sobbing and crying gets you what??? Not even a Kewpie Doll LOL Suck it up, the sour taste of failed effort LOL

771 posts and you know what?? Nothing has changed, nothing will change, it is what it is, like it or not but you keep on keeping on LOL All your whining and arguing is in vain, ineffectual and to no purpose. Your Don Quixote crusade gets you nowhere

That was during COVID. Lots of thing were out of the ordinary. That was in the US and no, the US made and still has vaccination requirements. Canada has dropped theirs. "If you are a non-U.S. citizen who is a nonimmigrant (not a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent resident, or traveling to the United States on an immigrant visa), you will need to show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before you travel by air to the United States from a foreign country." https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/proof-of-vaccination.html I have no idea why homeland would be following you. I was responding to eyeball when they said "Are you sure you haven't confused this proof and evidence you talk about with the usual standard question, "what is the purpose of your trip outside the country"? As I said, I have never been asked by a Canadian authority why I was leaving the country. I have almost always been asked by the authority when entering a country why i was coming there.

What has come out in the testimony of mayors and others from other cities than Ottawa is that they learned how not to do things. Seems Ottawa was the perfect example of screwing up. That was what we, living in Ottawa, knew from day 3 of the debacle and the testimony proved it.
