In the same article it talked about Trudeau's holiday to Costa Rica. I guess they had to get special exemption for him to overfly the US.  The RCAF Challengers he uses don't have these transponders and their avionic systems are too old/obsolete for the them to be retrofitted.   Amazing how the government fritters away billions yet they still mange to run military equipment into the ground and well past it's best before date.

It's like the 24 Sussex Drive issue. No PM wants the optics of spending that money. So dumb.

Just sold my old snowblower.

And to a good guy to boot.

Exactly, it's an embarrassment to the country the the PM's official residence has been allowed to deteriorate  to the point that it is uninhabitable.

Interesting, I just found out that if you buy a vehicle out of province, Ontario will believe your receipt.   
If you buy it in province, they go by black book value and don't believe you.

There are ways around this.

Wasn't sure where to put this...

"It stickers 27 percent higher than the base 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G gasoline engine, offering a 9 percent improvement in fuel economy and a 15 percent increase in overall horsepower."

Smart move not bringing it to NA, I don't think people would be willing to pay for it.

#LACOPP have been rounding up cattle after an mvc involving 2 transports on the eb #Hwy401 in the Napanee area. Just 1 cow still outstanding (in a field?). Wb lanes will reopen when cow is found. Tows on route. Eb should be open around 7:30pm. No injuries.

UPDATE - 8:32PM
@OPP_ER tweeted:
"All the cows are now accounted for. The herd is being moved into a new truck. It is expected that all lanes of the eb and wb #Hwy401 should be reopened by 9pm. Please be patient and as Bart S would say "don't have a cow!"

^So apparently there is still a dead cow laying beside the westbound 401, much to the alarm of weekend travelers today.

I don't watch/follow Basketball, but I just read that Kobe Bryant died in a Helicoprter crash earlier today.

[CanuckS2K]

I just read that myself.  Very sad indeed.  Mom is left with three other daughters, including a 7 month old. 

Sadly, this stuff happens all of the time.......

With the present sanctions against Russia would it be illegal or unethical for an American manufacturer to be purchasing goods from Russia, say to make tires?

Is there any sanction against Russia ?

I read some interesting reports about there being a lot of fog, one post suggested the police copters weren't flying for that reason, but also noted that the air traffic controllers were telling the pilot to follow various highways.  Is that common in LA?  "Follow the 101 south..."

I think under those conditions, you need landmarks to find your way.
