Canada leads world keeping faith in Boeing

I love those “Canada leads the world” stories!

According to our ruling class, both under PM Fluffy and Big Steve before him, we have variously lead the world in standing up to Putin, saving women and girls, standing with the only democracy in the Middle East, standing up for LGBQT rights, standing up to the ayatollahs, standing aside on Saudi human rights abuses, and standing down on the rule of law vis-a-vis Venezuela.

And now, we lead the world on keeping the Boeing 737 Max 8 in the skies after most of our weak-kneed allies have buckled to common sense and grounded the state-of-the-art aircraft after two inexplicable air disasters within a span of five months.

Transport Minister Marc Garneau says he’s not about to follow the herd on this one. You’ll remember Marc as one of Canada’s pioneering astronauts.

Canada’s pioneering astronauts did their pioneer astronauting aboard various US spacecraft, many of them Boeing products, and Garneau would have had intimate dealings with Boeing during his years as President of the Canadian Space Agency.

That’s why he knows those Boeing Max 8 passenger jets are SAFE, DAMMIT!… and those pussies at Air China, LOT Polish Airlines, Aeromexico, Iceland Air, Turkish Airlines, and two dozen others who have grounded the jets are just… well, pussies!

As are all those EU countries who have closed their airspace to the plane!

Once again, Canada is a world leader!
