I loved flying on the Herc... as a 'flip'. At the 1978 Borden Armed Forces Day airshow there were two Voodoos. I swear they had afterburners on during a lazy pass. The noise!!

So, 'Nunavut' MP Lori Idlout crossed the floor to the Liberals.
What we know:
* Pierre Poilievre and the CPC are toxic.
* The federal NDP party is finished (for the time being).
* Cons are furious (except when it benefits them).
Congratulations to Ms Idlout, and the LPC.

These strikes may accomplish something tactically, but rarely, if ever, change anything strategically.

The Conservative Party of Canada should just stop wasting time and open its seacocks. It's sinking, anyway. Speed up the process!
Poilievre's drunk, no surprise... passed out in steerage. It's a good place for him.
