It's great to know that STUPID ASS politicians aren't limited to the USA. Just Let Collenette be an airliner when a hijacker tries to take it over and there is no armed pilot aboard. Wait - I forgot, he probably doesn't fly on anything but private aircraft so he doesn't have to be among the common folk flying in an airliner. If he's so concerned about US pilots flying into Canada with guns, then stop all flights by US airlines into Canada. Then, we'll have to stop all flights to the USA by Canadian airlines. Then, let's see how long it takes for this idiot to change his mind. I'm ignoring any flames about me calling the Transport Minister an stupid ass and an idiot. If he didn't makes stupid comments, there would be no need for me to call him what he is.
