This is 100% truth and while it might be relevant for our other Commonwealth, allies and friendly countries, no country sways to the extremes like the USA. And anyone that says otherwise is a fool or a liar.

I’m perfectly content to stay on good terms with the millions of decent, sane Americans living down there.

But as a country they’ve proven that they’re always just 4 years away from burning it all down and going back on their promises.

Individual Americans can be reliable. Their country is not.

I don't know if ABs should laugh or cry at this "satire"... it's so close to the truth it's almost hard to call it satire!!!

Yes!! This [Standard Time] is 100% better, and backed by science. It's also backed by a de facto standard... that is, of the jurisdictions around the world that have eliminated time changes, over 80% have gone with Standard Time.

Yeah, the fans make all the difference. Though, in the case of lacrosse, the game pace and typical high scoring helps with that. I've also heard that in the NLL that opposing teams love coming to Calgary because of the game experience here.

Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse.

So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries.

It’s your turn.

Calgary and Edmonton drove the the 'No' vote in Alberta's 2021 referendum on permanent daylight savings

The question — Do you want Alberta to adopt year-round Daylight Saving Time, which is summer hours, eliminating the need to change our clocks twice a year? — was narrowly defeated by a vote of 50.2% to 49.8% provincewide. But the vote breakdown varied by geography.

Albertans narrowly rejected permanent daylight saving time in a 2021 referendum.

But today Premier Danielle Smith revealed the province *is* going ahead with it anyway.

Opposition in the referendum was strongest in the biggest cities, while support was stronger in smaller towns and rural areas.

Look, I know it's a lot to ask these folks to play their cards off the top of the deck.

But even assuming the federal gas tax was 25 cents a litre (it's 10) that $1,200 a year in savings equates to 4,800 litres of gasoline consumption.

The average household uses *way* less than half that.

Preparing for Sustainability & Long-Term Relevance General aviation is entering a period of real change. To stay relevant, COPA needs to become more data-informed and forward-looking in how it operates.

Over the past few weeks I’ve shared my thoughts on advocacy, engagement, and the future of the GA community in Canada.

This final piece focuses on preparing COPA for what’s ahead.

With voting now open, I’d be honoured to have your support.

Canadian Airports where MLAT for surface detection is enabled at YYZ, YYC, YUL, YVR. Which *requires* all vehicles to have an operating transponder.. It is based on ICAO's A-SMGCS system. I've put together a list of sources here. #flying #aviation #avgeek

If you spend time in the bad place, you’re hearing this claim a lot:

Alberta sends $23B more to Ottawa than it gets back. If we separated, we’d erase the $9B deficit and have a $14B surplus.

It sounds simple. It’s wrong. Here's why. 🧵

Welcoming & Reflecting the Next Generation COPA already plays an important role in supporting the next generation of pilots through its scholarship programs and outreach efforts. Continuing and strengthening that presence is essential.

Aviation organizations worldwide are struggling to attract younger pilots COPA included. If we want the next generation to see value in COPA, we need to meet them earlier in their journey. Here’s how I plan to help make that happen. #avgeek #flying #aviation #copa
