    8 Jan 2020: UKR Airliner shot down in Tehran

    Maybe I over blown it by saying 'Many' I seem to recall only the one now, and it irked me so I was seeing red after that, overall I was disappointed by the questions thrown at the PM, it was like they were having a contest in seeing how many ways they could ask the same question phrased...

    8 Jan 2020: UKR Airliner shot down in Tehran

    I hope for the sake of all nations involved, Iran included, that this wasn't intentional. One thing that makes me wonder though, is why the Iranians didn't close their air space and stopped allowing civilian flights to operate, when they were obviously in a defensive posture.

    8 Jan 2020: UKR Airliner shot down in Tehran

    That works in an open society where the news will probably leak sooner than later. Doesn't work so well in a dictator state that want's to maintain the image of being infallible. Works even less when that nation is already suffering with uprisings at home.

    I am far from a fan of Trudeau, but I feel he is handling this as good as anyone should expect. Some of the questions posed to him are moronic and definitely didn't pass any sort of QC checks, about 90% of them anyone with half a brain would know he couldn't answer. And most of them seem...

    8 Jan 2020: UKR Airliner shot down in Tehran

    The connection I haven't seen made yet, but wasn't Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 shot down by a very similar system that is being suggested shot down the UKR plane? Nothing has been confirmed about the plane being shot down, and there probably never will be a unified record of events. The two...

    VAC wait times

    I just got off the Phone with VAC making sure they got my documents, and was told turn around time for Lump Sum payments is up to 8 weeks. Everything I heard before was 6 weeks. So maybe this is another change to slow things down.

    Love or hate the guy, he never misses a chance to lay blame on the Obama administration.

    Maybe both are right, on the Iranian side dual citizens are only Iranian. I imagine a lot of the Canadians who sadly lost their lives were dual citizens.

    Ukraine International Flight 752, a Boeing 737, crashed outside Tehran. Still seems like there is more happening. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/plane-...hran-1.5418562 Also: USGS has confirmed a quake southwest of Shiraz.

    Iraq Unravels

    I agree with you here, a power vacuum caused by a US withdrawal in Iraq will only serve to help Iran.

    Good thing they have a lot of target-able sites outside of civilian areas. US don't have to kill the exact sites that shot the missles, a bloody nose is still a bloody nose.

    Yeah I thinking mine will probably be around there, I'm guessing the holidays would only add time to it.

    Simon Logan v. Her Majesty The Queen

    Just got a letter the other day addressed to me with no cover letter, no return address, etc. Before I opened it, it looked like one of those generic credit card letters. It appears to be a class action lawsuit run by the law firm McInnes Cooper, for former Members of the CAF who on or after...
