I think the Lion Air pilot was an Indian and there was a recent story of how some Indian pilots paid to work at airlines in order to get experience. Yikes! The training of pilots for many Asian and African airlines is horrendous. Some years ago I worked on the IPO for what is now a very large Asian LCC. During some meetings the COO bragged about how they were low cost not just in fares, but in everything, including salaries. He then mentioned how great it was they could hire pilots from Cambodia and Laos and Vietnam because they worked for much less money. Needless to say I stuck with the more established carriers after that.
An easy decision since so few planes are flying anyway. Regardless, the plane will now be very safe. And super extra safe if one sticks with airlines with properly trained and experienced pilots. Unfortunately the Lion Air and Ethiopian Air pilots were inexperienced and poorly trained.
At the end of the day there is no substitute for research, analysis, cynicism, questions and thought. It’s easy to find supporting views whether one is left, right or center. It’s harder to develop the rational for one’s own support of various views - ie support that isn’t simply “well i read it on Wikipedia” or “I am right; I googled it”.
I highly doubt you’d be banned from here simply for espousing different views. I think a lot of folks like to see different sides of the argument. This reminds me of a chat I had with my daughter the other day. She is writing a paper in support of a certain issue. She can make all the arguments supporting her position. I asked her how well she knows and understands the arguments against her position (she’s a senior in HS completing her IB). She admitted not very well. I then used the opportunity to teach her that be most effective putting forth a position, one must understand arguments pro and con and be prepared to defend both. (This should be common knowledge but she’s still young). At university some years ago teams were set up for a debate over some topic. When the students arrived and were set to begin the prof instructed the teams they would be taking the opposite positions of what they prepared. Fantastic! Yes, being open minded, independent and responsible, and understanding (not necessarily supporting) various views is more important today than ever.
So far, I have seen a lot of press about the great reset and build back better. The broad concepts scare me. However, everything I’ve seen, including the bit posted the other day by Harvo, is just a bunch of lofty platitudes which say nothing. While I am keeping apprised of the situation, until there are concrete details about what these crazies are planning there is little to do. So while PP is right to publicise the adverse potential of this program, until we see there is something more than a slogan there is not much to do. Just be vigilant.
Why are westerners (Europeans and North Americans) so stupid? No one else is giving up meat. The Chinese, Koreans or Japanese? No. Arabs? No. South Americans? Lol. Canadian cucks be like “I can’t wait to have some more soy and salad”.
Your comment does not address my point at all. I made no mention of the violations of the constitution. I simply noted a difference between attempting to use the state to address personal grievances and organising private entities to address grievances.
And by the way, your statement that a business can do whatever it wants to do as long as it does not violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is nonsensical. The Charter does not apply to private entities. It limits government action and gives citizens certain freedoms and rights that cannot generally be abrogated by governments. In addition, there are many laws and regulations, including human rights laws, that limit what business can do. So businesses can not do whatever they want regardless of the Charter.
I suspect someone (OP) doesn’t see a difference between engaging the state to limit a business’s freedom to serve whom it wants in the way it wants and a private entity attempting to organise other non-state entities to push back against what are perceived to be unfair actions.
This is actually very scary. Yet 50+% of the people will say I should just ignore this conspiracy theory . How then do all these leaders adopt the same phrase? It’s not a theory. It’s real. And we have no leaders to challenge this. Just a bunch of sheep willing to go along with it.
This seems to be what everyone misses. If indeed this is some great reset aimed at the redistribution of property in a so-called more equitable manner, then how safe is owning land or any other asset (it didn’t work out for the Russians and Cubans)?
I’m looking at more sane countries (ie developing countries where this nonsense is unlikely to take hold). Don’t forget, isn’t this is all about taking from ‘rich, white, stupid countries’ and giving to poorer, developing countries? If I am right and it is I’ll be down somewhere on the coast in southern Brazil or in Bali. It’ll be safe there for quite a while.
For sure the guy will be the one prosecuted. The Uk is done. Canada following closely behind.
