“@rcmpgrcpolice are walking away with a $394,000 bill” “@Transports_gc …will not yet comment on “any …enforcement measures” “RCMP Commissioner…acknowledged the helicopter did not meet TC requirements” Non-Compliance with these “requirements” is a violation of federal law.
NEW: The RCMP avoids $7.5 million fee and any finding of wrongdoing after the cancellation of one of its Black Hawk helicopter contracts, potentially ending a months-long controversy over an aircraft it chartered that was not eligible to fly in Canada. thestar.com/politics/federal…

The RCMP says it wasn’t its job to ensure its newest border patrol helicopter was allowed to fly in Canada, even as it defends paying for the Black Hawk it can’t use after it was grounded because of concerns from Transport Canada.

The RCMP is paying for a Black Hawk it can’t use and its border patrol program has taken a hit after Transport Canada grounded the Mounties’ newest chopper because it appears to be offside with Canadian regulations, the Star has learned. thestar.com/politics/federal… via @torontostar

Canada should be the wealthiest, most self-reliant country on earth. Liberals like Mark Carney & Gregor Robertson want to keep our resources in the ground, keeping us poor, weak and vulnerable. Conservatives will stand up to Trump from a position of strength.

Yes, Mr. Carney, let’s hear your position on the development Ring of Fire. To this point, yourself, and the liberals have done nothing but put up roadblocks #ROF #RingofFire #ontario #mining #rareearthminerals
For years, Ontario has been calling on the federal government to cut red tape, streamline approvals, end unnecessary duplication and match the $1 billion we've dedicated to building the roads to the Ring of Fire.  It's great to see the Conservative Party of Canada answer our call. This needs to be a Canadian consensus. As we stare down the threat of President Trump’s tariffs, I expect every federal party to join Ontario in unlocking the enormous economic potential of the Ring of Fire. We need a clear answer on where the Liberals stand.

Met with the great workers and pilots of Northern Ontario's Expedition Group of Companies who are ready to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget, and stop the crime. Let's bring it home: conservative.ca/cpc/bring-it…

The regulations have not reduced risk to pilots due to fatigue, but have increased pressure on pilots, who are now rushing to accomplish more in shorter periods. Pressure is cited MUCH more often than fatigue in TSB reports when helicopter accidents occur. nationalpost.com/opinion/lib…

Bishop said putting a hand close to the moving rotor blade of a helicopter “would seem contrary to common sense by anyone’s estimation”, but the tourism operators still had a responsibility to have mechanisms in place to ensure “humans don’t do stupid things”. #helicopter #Safety
IHSF question: Passenger cuts off finger while waving. All you experts out there. We know what the passenger did wrong. What should the operator or pilot had done to mitigate the risks? stuff.co.nz/national/crime/1…

I'm with you. If the Liberals can go protest: they can sit in Parliament.
