Well - rules are rules and she should have known the rules under which the airport watch group is operating. Given the fact that most journalists don't have the slightest idea about aviation, I can understand why the Ottawa airport authority wishes to put out information themselves, so they first of all know what has been said and then can see what the media turns it into.
Well - this was in Canada and Canadians normally don't like being called Americans. But may I ask wehre you come from, georgel?
And what continent is Canada on? Thanks for assumption I am ignorant of geography. To partially satisfy your writer's curiosity: I am from Europe. And today I fly to Germany

Well - even if it comes to values and heritage, there is a big difference between Canada and the US and phrases like "American world's democracy and freedom of speech" are normally used in a US American context. I definitely don't encourage America-bashing but I would think that Canada has a set of values and heritage more closely to the European understanding. After all, democracy and freedom of speech are also very important to us in the European Union.
Maybe I am misreading you there - but I guess you wanted to criticize the whole western world not just the two countries on the North American continent.

Thanks for playing "Manifest Destiny".
I'm sure a Monroe descendant will drop you a nice thank you note. [/derail]
I had this whole conversation with Canadians some time in the 90's. Yeh, we're "all Americans", but the word has been hijacked for USA residents, so to made it clear that Canada is NOT part of the USA, they said they prefer not to be called Americans. And also, it is not, to my knowledge anyway, called the United Provinces of America or anything like that. America is nowhere in the name. Same with Mexico. Probably we're called Americans because what else would there be? USAns? USers? Uniited Stateans? Our country doesn't lend itself to anything much but Americans. Too bad. We DID have a chance to grab the name Columbia first and passed.
Not revealing my source! don't want anyone in trouble, but they should have removed some additional items that the TSB wanted yesterday and repairs are set to begin this week.
I see. Too bad no linky. I'll go spotting to Ottawa next week probably, and if the hanger opens, i'll probably see it because it's very close to the fence.
