Military warned of fallout from MacKay chopper ride

[Locutus]

All the cockamamie worryworts will have un-wrung their hands and forgotten about this in due course.

Just like the ol' Bev ( "not" ) Oda crisis.

Go back to what you were doing now.

It's the nature of the politics, unfortunately. That's why it's up to the people to keep hammering on things that matter to them. Fiscal conservatives forget they're own principles when it is their party of choice making the gaffe.

I was just about to go for smokes. I wonder if I can get them airlifted to me?

 

[TenPenny]

At a cost of 32K per ride?

Yup, and you're all pissy about it, so it's working perfectly.

 

[mentalfloss]

Yup, and you're all pissy about it, so it's working perfectly.

Of course it's working perfectly.

Raising awareness always does.

Raising awareness of a minor issue, so that people don't worry about anything important. Works like a charm, it's worked on you. That's why sports and entertainment are part of our newscasts.

Ooh, look, a squirrel!

Raising awareness of a minor issue, so that people don't worry about anything important.

Prove raising awareness of this issue has significantly distracted from other more important issues.

Any time spent on this is time not spent on something else.

That's how Parliament works, and how the media works.

oh, another squirrel.

 

[Locutus]

And there's something shiny. Look! :lol:

The degree to which this story has distracted the public from "real news" still hasn't been proven. In fact you still haven't even proven that this is not legitimate news either.

I wasn't aware that I was required to prove anything, but here's the link:

It was on Global yesterday evening.

It was on Global yesterday evening.

Global is only one news source. And even within that one news source, we are smart enough to keep abreast with multiple issues that are of concern.

Either way, relentless criticism of this piece as a distraction is simply propagating the "distraction" to begin with.

Must be a slow news week for beating up on the RCMP.

It'll pick up in a bit when people start hearing about the major flaws in the F-35 air frame.

It'll pick up in a bit when people start hearing about the major flaws in the F-35 air frame.

Only in the usual circles by the usual suspects.

 

[petros]

Suspected of what?

 

[Retired_Can_Soldier]

Suspected of what?

Whining incessantly.

 

[mentalfloss]

Whining incessantly.

Let's leave this kind of cavalier brush off to Fantino plz.

 

[petros]

Whining incessantly.

But the F-35 doesn't whine. It has no engines.
