The president that was just fired by the people will have a far far more profound and dark dark asterisk than just about any other. Unfortunately, the Republicans had a high possibility of winning the last election but they chose to put an albatross around its neck in 2016. What was that term Trump used so often? Drain the swamp? perhaps the Republican party can heed those words. Last statement by me. Stay well.

No, democracy is intended to evolve over time in what is hoped to result in positive change. This is accomplished through the political process. Examples? Constitutional amendments. But improvement is a process that requires ever more insightful leadership. The election of Trump was an appropriate signal for change but very poorly thought through. The Republican party was the one that allowed Trump to even see the light of day. Perhaps a signal for radical change was in order and if so, it may have been a case of the right idea, but very wrong timing. The price for change for the sake of change with the selected alternative being absolute incompetence is clear. 1,192 new deaths since yesterday. 1,192 family members added to yesterday's total of 265,000 deaths. COVID-19 will forever be an asterisk on Trump's legacy. And, IMHO, rightfully so.

To consider , , , , the cost of voting against the establishment and voting for a totally unqualified huckester as a sign of protest can, as of today, be measured at 265,000 American deaths and 13.200,000 positive American cases. RIP to the fathers, mothers, sisters, sons, friends, and associates lost with more of the same to come. In a yes or no answer, would you consider those deaths and infections a price too high to pay to send the type of message you are stating? Anyway, when I last checked, this is an aviation site, and as such with respect to the majority, will let that be the last of my comment on politics.

The US is up sh*t's creek and it is where it is because of poor leadership. Full stop. History will someday, forever link 100's of thousands of deaths in the US to one rolly polly orange haired megalomaniac. BUT let us not forget that he is a symptom and not the cause. He was voted in.

At the time of your flight, , , , ask the pilots if they have been paid recently.

However, as the self-proclaimed leader of the free world, would it be inappropriate to expect better from the US? Far far better? Also, let's see for a moment, to add proper context, who is rated worse than the USA on a /million basis: Belgium, Spain, Italy, Peru, UK, Argentina, Moldova, Mexico, Brazil and Chile. With the exception of the minority, most that are worse than the US (leader of the free world) are either second or third world countries. Surely, surely, a claim of "Hey we are #11! ! !" is nothing to boast about. Although here may be some fluidity in the numbers, the full list is here: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deaths-worldwide-per-million-inhabitants/

What could possibly go right? Does this con man swim in the same DNA pool as today's president of the USA?

Your opinion is clearly subjective and that's okay but whether its Garneau or any other politician, the reality is that being a politician in general, calls for the ability to manage the message. Regardless of party or country for that matter. If it was not Garneau it would be someone else.

To comment on his lawyer's statements "“At what point is someone given a chance to make right? I don’t know? Is it a lifelong sentence?” Zapin said. “Should he be just shut down for the rest of his life?” Answer should be 1- never 2- as a lawyer you should know 3-Yes. 4- Yes or back to jail. Why was this even on the site news without positioning it as a "You won't believe your ears" type story. Someone (editor) either asleep at the wheel or just unknowing/ignorant of the facts. Sheesh
