CTV- PM Trudeau stuck in India following G20 summit due to ‘technical issues’ with plane
“These issues are not fixable overnight, our delegation will be staying in India until alternate arrangements are made.”
The prime minister arrived in India on Friday for the G20 summit.
It’s unclear how the delegation, including the prime minister, will get home or when.

F, him.
He can take Air India flight back home. Coach. No new seat cushions, either..
Air curry stench? Thank you … NO.
Best airline in India is Kingfisher Air, have flown them several times, great airline as is their beer (Kingfisher beer). Even coach seats on most flights are business class size and service anywhere else in the world.
google – Kingfisher Air cabins.
Well, Kingfisher WAS a good airline but does not operate anymore.
Another really good Indian airlines was Jet Airways, which apparently may start operating again soon (after going bankrupt in 2019).
Huh, didn’t know that thanks. Last time I was in India was around 2008 with no plans to return.
Last time I was in India was NEVER … and I have no plans EVER.
Twas work not vacation travel.
But there is still Kingfisher lager. Cheaper and more enjoyable than air travel.

The world is mocking @JustinTrudeau and by extension Canada.
“I’m going to shed being diplomatic, because when something manifestly insane takes place in your face there is no reason to be polite about it. Justin Trudeau has just shown you the finger.
This man has just come after imposing an Emergency in his county to crack down on the freedom of expression and the right to peaceful protest, and the rule of law. [… more at link]

Includes 9-minute video of Justin being eviscerated on Indian TV.

Okay, it looks like comments with two hot links are banned.
Here’s one on Justin being berated bon Indian TV for 9 minutes.

That was awesome. Long overdue.
“An insignificant man from an insignificant country”
Indeed.
Geez, I wish I was in charge of those alternate arrangements.
Justin can source the Aircraft parts from China.
Aw c’mon. He just didn’t have time to shop for new Indian costumes. All he had on this trip was Indonesian.
This is very surprising that the Canadian government did not have a contingency plan in place for this type of issue. It also calls into question the maintenance procedures used for an aircraft that is tasked with transporting a head-of-state. Canada is a member for NATO for heaven’s sake, and now Trudeau is stranded.
Contingency plan? In Canada?
Best laugh I’ve had in a while.
Trudeau is only the head of state in his delusional little mind. King Charles III is our head of state.
Trudeau is the de facto head of the government/state in Canada, the G-G’s role is only titular. The G-G has no real authority.
This doesn’t say much about the aircraft maintenance crew in charge of Trudeau’s plane.
Bring him home on a slow freighter. Angela Merkel apparently had a similar problem in 2019, missed a conference due to plane problems.
It’s a tossup between King Charlie and Trudeau for Biggest Twit of the Century.
I think it needs to be said that RCAF aircraft maintenance technicians DO NOT maintain the Airbus fleet. That function was contracted out to a civilian company a very long time ago.
Shame that the media will not make that distinction.
Thank you for the clarification on that detail.
Surely not Bombardier!
He isn’t our head of state. Unfortunately the governor general bears that title. As to a contingency he could get his pampered butt on any flight. Planes fly between Canada and India all the time. Many politicians including leaders and even royalty ride commercial. He is not too precious to do so too. We need to change the rule that says he cannot not.
The Governor General is the representative of the King who is our head of state. The Governor General has one real job. That is appointing the Prime Minister. In 156 years there has been only one case involving a decision. Liberal Prime Minister Mackenzie-King lost the election and refused to resign.
I’m voting he be sent home Gerald Bull style.
I’ll settle for a trebuchet.
Please please please… let him stay there. Forever.
I’d offer to let them keep him but that wouldn’t be very nice to the people of India.
To be fair, that airplane doesn’t sit still long enough to be maintained. I prefer a slow boat from China, but look for the most expensive solution, that will be the one!
A wooden sailing ship with no Diesel engine would be fitting transportation of Trudeau
“It’s unclear how the delegation, including the prime minister, will get home or when.”
#1) Rent a Tuk Tuk
#2) Take a land route through Pakistan and scold them on LGBTQ policies.
#3) Continue through Afghanistan and scold the Taliban on LGBTQ policies.
#4) Continue west through Iran and scold them on LGBTQ policies.
#5) Continue north through Turkey and scold them on LGBTQ policies.
$6) Take a speed boat across the Black Sea and give Crimea the Trudeau salute as you pass it’s shores.
#7) Enter Ukraine and travel to the front line and make passionate love with Zelenski in an Azov bunker.
#8) Continue through Poland and scold them on LGBTQ & Third World Immigration policies.
#9) Take a slow boat through the Baltic along the Atlantic south, and through the Suez Canal.
#10) Stop in Eritrea, Yemen & Somalia and scold them on LGBTQ policies.
#11) Head back to India to see if they will sell you a new plane.
Does Canada have any RCAF Aircraft that are not obsolete and on their last legs?
Er, no.
No, they really don’t.
This is my vote for his alternate travel arrangement. The paddle is paid for by the taxpayers.

Couldn’t we just move the country and not leave a forwarding address?
Any chance he could fly back over Ukraine….in a private jet….unannounced?
Prigohzin Air.
He should just fly Air Canada, there is no reason he needs his own plane
There is no depth to my contempt for the spawn but maybe having zit travelling Aeroflot Canada is a bit too cruel.
I’m sure it’d be too cruel to all the other passengers on the flight, but there is no deprivation that is too cruel to visitate upon the potentiate of Canada
We are not happy, till you’re not happy.
– Air Canada
Emperor Justine The Most Virtuous is nor allowed to fly commercial because security demands that he not be exposed to deplorables with unacceptable views.
Snubbed by world leaders at the G20, aircraft NFG, sinking poll numbers for his party while the CPC is on the verge of majority government territory, restive and panicky Liberal MPs anonymously complaining about him, Canadian economy weakening, Alberta’s government telling him to FO, his wife giving him the heave ho…not a great summer for Trudeau.
Will Trudeau take out his anger and frustration on Alberta and Saskatchewan or will he take the hint and leave politics? The Liberal MPs know they can O’toole their leader, Right?
I’ll go with option ‘A’ for $500, Alex!
If I were the Prime Minister’s chef I wouldn’t go paddleboarding any time soon.
Yeah, abusive and manipulative personality types have quite predictable responses when circumstances don’t go their way. Lash out at a convenient target who opposes him. An open secret within his inner circle apparently.
“He said, ‘I think he is gonna find a way to get it done one way or another. So he is in that kinda mood and I wanted you to be aware of that,'” Wilson-Raybould testified.”

Putin did it. Dudley Doo Right and the Mounted Storm Troopers intervened just in time to avoid a dastardly outcome.
LC, do you imagine that the Liberal MPs have any say in the matter? Justatwit is the handpuppet of Katie Telford, as are all his cabinet ministers. He goes when she says so. And Katie doesn’t want anything to disappear. She and her worthless bag of s**t husband Rob Silver face instant annihililation as political figures as soon as their hand-puppet goes over the side of the boat. So she will fight this thing tooth and nail to stave off the inevitable.
Remember, Adolf never surrendered either in April 1945. Katie will have to be dragged kicking and screaming out of Der Fuhrer Bunker known as the Langevin Block. Same with all the rest of the so-called Cabinet. Except for Anand, none of them have a political future either.
I have no doubt Trudeau’s PMO would fight back but their poker hand is looking pretty weak at the moment. If his MPs were brave then they could call Trudeau’s bluff. I doubt if the Liberal MPs will because very few have displayed any backbone or intestinal fortitude so far.
I agree it’s weak, LC. But that never stops them. The SS didn’t stop fighting in Berlin in April, 1945 until they’d literally run out of 14 year olds to expend as child riflemen.Telford also strikes me as a ‘die in the last ditch’ type because she and her sleazeball husband will have accumulated so much dirty laundry over the past 15 years. I would expect them to be fleeing the country when electoral defeat becomes apparent.
Liberals do that. Former Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson fled the country prior to the last municipal election rather than face the voters and the provincial audit report. So too did half the Ottawa City Council and the City Manager.
And for the rank and file, MPs and potted plants pretending to be cabinet ministers, they too will have little political future. After all, who needs Bill Blair for anything except a paper weight? It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that the Liberals may be looking at a wipeout on the scale of what happened to the PCs in 1993 under the twit Kim Campbell. At least we can hope.
cghCOLON
Bronfmans control BOTH sides of the aisle in canada, and that is why freeland went to them to try and get Just In’s spot in 2019. Try and keep yer BULLSHIT straight!
I see you are confirming your status as the resident moron on this website.
Was the plane vaccinated?
Lotta talk about the age of that plane on the media this AM. It may be a bit old, but the airframe hours are probably extremely low compared to one that’s been in commercial use. Lots of 40 year old airframes still in use.
Trudeau looks like he made it his mission to run up those hours flying all around canada on taxpayer dimes
It’s the last gasp of that wretched Wardair A310, probably fed up hauling his nibs hither and yon. The 310s were one of Wardair’s last purchases, for domestic use, in a useless attempt to compete with the government-sponsored airlines.
Would be the perfect time for a military coup d’état, if the military wasn’t unfortunately neutered and compromised by China.
I think he should just fly in it anyway. I would like to see this on a new season of the show “MAYDAY”
I became a regular watcher of MAYDAY recently and have since resolved never to fly again. Poor poor paranoid me.
INDIA: I’ll Never Do It Again
Air Canada flies to India. They couldn’t charter a plane? Nobody could make a fricking phone call?
When was the last time the President of the USA was grounded someplace because Air Force One pooped out on him? Or the president of Germany, for that matter, or France.
Figures that I guy who went to a Barbie movie is grounded because of mechanical difficulties.
@The Phantom
Those are countries, Canada is a Post National State!
It’s a nice day for a swim, eh?
It’s a cover story so that Justin can get enough one-on-one time with Modi to negotiate a deal for Canada to take 4 million of India’s worst troublemakers next year. Like “Camp of the Saints”, but less fun. When they hit the shore, Justin can declare a state of emergency, give himself absolute power, and begin forcibly housing them in “unused” real estate ie anyone that has more than 400 square feet of house per occupant. You read it here first.
/s (maybe)
Oh crap, Modi is going to send over members of the religion of peace.
Give them each a Chukudo scooter. Works in the Congo. Might take them a while to get home but the price is right :).
I hear North Sentinel Island is very nice this time of year. Since he has the time, a day trip would be a memorable experience for our dear leader. Truly a bucket list place to visit.
This is something you won’t see on the CBC!!!!!

Everything is something I won’t see on the CBC, especially those things that are actually on CBC
Maybe they should just take the train. I hear they are quite reliable in India, though they can be somewhat crowded.
Ah well, A “man of the people” like Sir Juthtin The Brave would likely welcome the chance to visit a bit with the locals.

This is the best example yet that Canada has fully ripened into Bananada – not a serious country. The official jet never broke down before b/c it was new or newish. Nothing akin to Airforce 2 back-up plane for y’know, the head of state. Too expensive. We couldn’t even afford AMA? Alas, our “head” of state can get stranded as easily as any regular Canuck.
I wonder if they’ve thought to call the embassy?
OK. It’s real simple. The Canadian Air Force One is a piece of old junk procured from a failing airline. Wardair was it? Modified over decades and kept airworthy by throngs of engineers and techs, despite the age of the thing irrelevance of Canada’s PM on the world stage. The Carbon Tax PM has logged more hours in this poor tired old airframe than the eight air force. It almost makes you forget the Airbus kickbacks at the origing of this story. Tell ya want Justin, why don’t you fly commercial with this diverse Indian crowd? Do your Indian dude impression with all the bowing and Bollywood BS.
PM aide:”what’s the problem with the plane?
Steward:”the plane is fine, but the pilots just told us they had covid. You know how that works right?”

I don’t think there is anything wrong with the plane.
I think Modi is effen with Trudeau the shitstain sock puppet and embarrassing him by not letting him leave.
Our complicit media is deflecting….
