If you're in a Beaver, I wouldn't sweat it too, too much.

Words to live by, my friend

I've had the scariest ride of my life coming out of Bute inlet on a beautiful May day with a tail wind in a Cessna. If you're in a Beaver, I wouldn't sweat it too, too much.

A group of 4 of us took off from Powell River airport in a Beaver.

It was really fucking loud and the we kind of realized we could hear again.

A quick glance at the altimeter showed it going backwards quickly and we hadn't made the water yet. Prop was still.

Pilot goes "oops", fiddles under his seat or something and sits up pushes another button and vroom.

He turns around sheepishly and says "I forgot to change tanks."

The woke maniacs are doing a great job of trying to prove that there actually is some sort of racist sexist movement against straight white males.

The irony is that the ambulance was likely delayed getting through all that traffic which was caused by the protestor that was injured.

Stellar security here lol

7 people have died from fires in Vancouver this year. FIVE of them are from lithium-ion batteries exploding.

i do find it odd they they are really trying to sanitize the story though.
"bike sellers in the downtown east side" .... you mean "thieves"?

"He was a quiet guy … if it was broken, he could fix it,"

Except that one time...

Cost him dearly, apparently.

Yeah, it was the lead story on CHEK news last night. My question is why did the police allow this structure to be constructed in the first place and why didn't they insist that the person come down from the hastily constructed structure?

I hope he recovers

I hope he recovers

I do as well, but his emergency surgery likely bumped somebody else's scheduled surgery and all because he was somewhere where he shouldn't have been. The police need to be more proactive and stop this kind of protesting because the public have had enough of this crap.

In other i did this to myself local news

Doesn't really apply here but as a motorcyclist you should have one golden rule.

1. Everyone is trying to kill me

Abide by that and you'll probably be fine. Probably.

At the very least, stop at stop signs is a good rule to live by … or else you dont … live that is

When you let rail blockades, capital city encampments/invasions/whatever you want to call what happened in Ottawa, pipeline construction interruption, blockading housing development on private land etc. go ahead without issue it's kinda hard to draw the line at this.

And this is probably going to get violent at some point.

Honestly.

Yeah, I hope the guy lives BUT I have no Sympathy for him, NONE.

If you are going to do something stupid, I feel nothing for you

I don’t really understand how you can justify that kind of expenditure on a museum in a day and age where museums are having to give a bunch of shit back to countries/peoples they’ve taken it from.

That’s also more combined than it cost to renovate and expand the ROM and AGO a decade ago in Toronto and they both used “starchitects” in their designs (neither turned out great). Inflation and everything but it does seem like a vanity project in a province with way more pressing needs for a billion dollars.
