Air full force

Election full force on. The shits been flying like a Boeing. This an opportune segue. For openers the Cornservatives and the New Dumbercrats slagged the Liverals for leasing an older Boeing 737 from Air Inuit. Apparently, this was the only plane available in Canada at the moment.

The high and flighty claimed that the planes they leased, Airbus 319's, were more fuel efficient. Not by much. I looked the fuel consumption up. Yes it burns more but only a bit more. I mean be more fuel efficient and use a Greyhound bus.

But the Canadian taxpayer should take all these clowns to task over this three ring circus. First, if any of these people were even half environmental conscious they would gang together and travel on a single plane. Or, save us from all the fossil fuel farts and travel commercial.

Their excuse is that they can't use commercial. The commercial carriers are on a different schedule. Shades of Conrad Black here. Any excuse to dip into the pockets of the stake holders.

Isn't that a great bureaucrat speak? Stake holders. What a cognomen. Apt when the blood sucking politicians use it (a vampire subspecies known as “poliampires”). The pundits are right when they employ “stake holder” in my case. The fucking thing would be made of the finest maple wood (since it seems to be sappier) with a pointy point. And aimed at the hearts of all the poliampires and their lap dog media pundits.

Dimensionally Canada hasn't grown any larger than 130 years ago. We've only had commercial aviation for half that. Can't these guys use a train or a Budd car instead? True family values in this country emerged from a Pullman attached to the back of a cattle car train. Think of it. There is a whole bunch of Budd cars sitting forlorn at CPR Mimico.

You see its a big charade. With modern media technology the environmentally conscious politician would be better able to practice what he or she preaches by simply sitting in front of a computer terminal and answer emails and write profusely on a constantly changing website. This would save immense amounts of energy and polluted air.

If we were really stake holders, all those stinking lawyer politicians would be nothing but dust right now, wouldn't they?
