In Canada he would not have the right to ride a bus without a mask. Hope he has a good bicycle or sturdy shoes for walking!

Over the years. Bombardier employed tens of thousands of highly skilled and highly paid workers around the world including Montreal, Toronto, North Bay, Kingston, etc. These workers spent most of their earnings in Canada contributing to its wealthy economy and enriching the municipal, provincial and federal tax bases. Political and corporate mishandling has cost us many of these jobs but thousands are still employed by the new owners, building aircraft, trains, subways around the world. Our tax money was not wasted and has been repaid in many ways.

Bombardier created one of the best mid size aircraft currently available and being purchased by a growing number of international airlines. It's demise is largely due to the illegal tariffs imposed by a disfunctional American president to protect the equally disfunctional Boeing corporation from any real or perceived competition. Together, they effectively destroyed Canada's aerospace industry by shutting it out of the US market and scaring off other potential buyers. The self-serving incompetence of the Bombardier family also played a major role in destroying one of the biggest and most progressiver transportation companies in the world in just a few short years.

Amazingly, it did while the original censored comments sent minutes earlier probably won't appear until after this issue is forgotten...!

Why would this flight be targeted or mistaken when it was on its normal daily flight path and flying away from the city at the same time as dozens of flights were in the same vicinity? It seems more likely that it could have been intentional and designed to stir up more trouble in the region. This narrows down the likely culprits and makes the Iranian regime less likely to benefit.

Both the quotation marks and the comment are reprehensible; these were human beings who were born in Canada or chose to live here, often decades ago. Flippancy or puting down immigrants in these tragic circumstances is shameful.

Prime Minister Trudeau has never demonstrated the slightest knowledge of military affairs so his declaration should be taken with a grain of salt.

Interesting that my comment questioning some of the actions and statements from Western governments, including my own, was not posted, my account validity questioned and my comment delayed for "a few days". This despite my membership for almost a decade and dozens of previous comments. i wonder if this comment will survive the censors?

It has happened on every flight on TAP YYZ-LIS, both ways and usually without informing me in time to do anything but complain. Last flight my wife and I (both in our 80s) were moved three rows apart while the premium bulkhead seats we had paid for remained unoccupied! No refunds because we were both still in the so-called premium economy seats - one inch of additional legroom...

Thanks for the explanation. I'm looking forward to my next flight to europe with even thinner seat padding than before!
