@MPelletierCIO It just shows the level of disdain many anglophones have for the francophone in this country. You can feel they wish we'd just shut up and die. As long as that attitude remains, yes, this country will be broken.

THIS should have been the message from our politicians. Exactly this. 2 people DIED, and we are arguing over the language of the condolence. This country is so broken. I pray for the families of those lost. 2 personnes sont MORTES, et nous nous disputons sur la langue des condoléances. Ce pays est tellement brisé. Je prie pour les familles de ceux qui ont perdu la vi

@PaulPlamondon @JETrudeau Assurer le respect du français en fermant les opérations d'Air Canada à Montréal et le déménagement de son siège social à Toronto. Bravo.

La réglementation de l’aviation est de compétence fédérale @JETrudeau. Et le fédéral du PLC ne fera rien, il travaille en fait activement à la marginalisation du français. Dans un Québec indépendant, ça devient un pouvoir qu’on exerce ici au Québec et dans le cadre duquel on peut assurer le respect du français et des Québécois en général. L’indépendance du Québec marque aussi la fin du bilinguisme institutionnel fédéral dans le cadre duquel le français est perçu comme optionnel. Si on regarde les pays européens qui ont une langue nationale et officielle, cette langue s’impose d’elle-même sur leur transporteur national, car il n’y a pas de confusion ni de régime politique qui considère cette langue comme optionnelle, ce qui est le cas à Ottawa.

When I became a Canadian military officer, I put a ton of effort into becoming as proficient in English as possible. My mentality was that if I ever was in a position to send someone to their death, I should be able to give the order in their native tongue. What unilingual people may not understand is that learning a language is not simply about communicating the same ideas in a different way. Learning a new language allows for understanding an entire culture and unlocks completely new ways of thinking that were previously unavailable. It is literally a mind opener. Aircrews take great, although calculated, risks that allow a certain number of executives to lead millionaire lifestyles. The least a CEO can do is address the grieving families in a language they can understand for a couple sentences.

@jkenney If someone dies working for you and makes possible your millionaire lifestyle, the least you can do is address their families in a language they can understand for a couple sentences.

Reads like an Onion satire of what has become of the Canadian bureaucratic state. A fatal airline accident, and the Minister of Transport’a response is to focus on the language of the CEO’s condolence message. (Technical note for Ottawa: anyone can now instantly generate an audio or text translation of the video statement.)

Pilote de ligne ici F = mv^2 (Un enfant de 14 ans sait ça) 1) La masse de l'avion de droite est du double au triple de l'avion de gauche. Donc, le triple de la force à l'impact. 2) La vitesse de l'avion de gauche était probablement aux alentours de 100kts et en décélaration (estimation). La vitesse de l'avion de droite était probablement de 250kts ou plus. Donc, +6 fois la force à l'impact. 3x6 =18 fois plus de force à l'impact Conclusion : il faut être attardé et/ou ignorant pour faire cette comparaison. Trouvez-en des meilleures.

@ericnuttall Thank you Eric 🙏

A stock I initially bought at $0.17 five years ago just hit $10. This sector has made generational wealth for many, yet still remains underowned. Back then it was "this too shall pass." Today it is "this too shall last."

@patbonin Désolé mais je vais croire les experts avant un député et un outil de propagande subventionné par l'état. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de malchance aux prochaines élections.

La tarification carbone n'est PAS responsable de la flambée des prix à l’épicerie. Son impact est d’environ 0,1 %. Les vraies causes: ✅ chaînes d’approvisionnement ✅ pénurie de main-d’œuvre ✅ marchés mondiaux… ✅ et changements climatiques. Ce sont des faits! #Inflation

@LP_LaPresse Fuck that.

@aakashgupta You're trying to politicize an issue you are clearly ignorant about. There are layers to every accident. Not everyone understands that, you being the first.

The air traffic controller cleared the fire truck onto the runway. Seconds later, the same controller screamed “stop, stop, stop.” The plane was doing 93 to 105 mph. Both pilots are dead. Everyone will frame this as controller error. One controller was simultaneously managing a United flight that aborted takeoff after an anti-ice warning, dispatching a fire truck across an active runway, and sequencing an inbound Air Canada landing at highway speed. At 11:40 PM. On a mandatory overtime shift at a facility that has been understaffed for years. A system that assigns one person that workload will produce exactly this outcome. The only variable is when. The FAA is short approximately 3,000 controllers. The headcount dropped 13% from 2010 to 2024 while flight volume rose 10%. Over 40% of the FAA’s 290 terminal facilities are understaffed. The New York TRACON, which manages the most congested airspace in America across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, has been chronically below target. Newark was operating at 59% of its staffing goal. LaGuardia handles 900 flights a day. The hiring pipeline is broken at every stage. Only 2% of applicants complete the full process. Training takes up to 6 years. The FAA Academy in Oklahoma City is a bottleneck, with roughly 35% of trainees washing out. Congress blocked legislation to build a second academy. In one recent hiring cycle, the FAA brought on 1,512 candidates and lost 1,300 in the same window. Net gain: around 160 controllers for an entire country. Three things need to happen and everyone who can make them happen has known for years. Congress needs to fund and authorize a second FAA training academy. One facility in Oklahoma City cannot produce enough controllers for 900 million annual passengers. Members of Congress from Oklahoma have actively blocked this. That needs to end yesterday. The FAA needs to cut certification time. Six years from application to fully certified controller is absurd. The agency’s own data shows tower simulators reduce certification time by 27%. They’ve installed them at 95 facilities. That should be every facility, and the simulated hours should count toward more of the certification requirement. The FAA needs to stop plugging staffing gaps with mandatory overtime. Controllers at understaffed facilities are working six-day weeks rotating between morning, mid, and night shifts. The NTSB has flagged fatigue repeatedly. The controller last night was managing overlapping emergencies during a nighttime operation. Overtime is not a staffing plan. It’s a countdown to the next runway collision. The controller said “I messed up” to a Frontier pilot who watched the whole thing. The pilot responded “No man, you did the best you could.” One of them is right. The answer determines whether this happens again.

This is brutal. Nothing the pilots could do here. Anyone crossing a runway should look both ways even if given clearance, especially an active runway. At the same time, first responders focused on getting to the scene quickly. We're all human. My heart with all involved.

@ericnuttall Truth is the first casualty of war. Of course both parties will be posturing to appear winning to their base. My job is not to know what's true, that's impossible. My only job is to hold on to my oil stocks for dear life.

🚨 BREAKING: LaGuardia Airport reports a collision between an aircraft and a fire truck on Runway 4. Authorities have not yet released details on injuries or the extent of the damage.

@FoodProfessor This has got to be fine sarcasm.

Heading back to Canada this week after two weeks in the U.S. Best place to hear less about Trump.

When you have a bottomless defense budget and no threat at home, you become lazy.

Ces commentaires de @ChantalHbert sont troublants. Toute ma vie je l'ai considéré comme une excellente analyste politique mais cette époque est révolue. Le biais et l'ignorance crasse dont elle a fait preuve dans ce cas-ci sont impardonnables pour une analyste de son niveau.

Tous les journalistes québécois qui s’auto-invitent à un diner de con en définissant Joe Rogan comme un débile pour le bénéfice d’un auditoire qui a réclamé l’aide médiatique à mourir… Rogan c’est le Costco de l’opinion, si ton produit est bien emballé il va te mettre sur ses tablettes. Point.

@BernieSanders Technology replacing brain dead jobs leaving humans to more meaningful occupations is exactly what we want. Why do you want to keep people enslaved?

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

@DimitrisSoudas Toute un surprise : il a attaqué après avoir déplacé un porte-avion et répété plusieurs fois un ultimatum pour les négociations. Ça prenait pas la tête à Papineau...

Tabarnac! Yéfou! Journaliste : Pourquoi n’avez-vous pas informé vos alliés de la guerre avant d’attaquer l’Iran ? Trump : Nous voulions que ce soit une surprise. Qui s’y connaît mieux en surprise que le Japon ? Pourquoi ne m’avez-vous pas parlé de Pearl Harbor ?
