More Pavilions At Folkfest

1. Did the graffiti say “We support France in its fight against ISIS” or “Death to ISIS and islamists”? Just wondering.

2. The French have always prided themselves as a superior “culturally enriched” society of well educated and worldly intellectuals.
   Now you know what they really are.

3. Probably just a discreet reminder to the tight fisted company
   re late delivery of any previously requested Islamic “charitable
   contributions” will not result in a favourable outcome for its
   bottom line.

4. After each terror attack officials should be able to make a statement similar to what appears in movie credits, “No people were profiled in the making of this fiasco.”

5. Don’t worry, Hillary will find the store owner that sold them the paint and make him pay.

6. Hee. “four easyJet planes at airports which cannot be named for security reasons” – “security” used as a cover-up for incompetence. I’m sure the terrorists know which airports they are.
   And so much for French security.
   I wonder if airline insurance covers acts of terrorism. Most insurance companies don’t want to go there. In any event I imagine that easyJet’s insurance premiums just went up.

7. Lots of ISIS co-religionists infested throughout the airline/airport industry.

8. Article said graffiti was daubed “on the fuel tanks”. What passenger aircraft has exposed fuel tanks? They are in the wings. If the graffiti was daubed near the fuel filler ports in the wings, that would suggest to me that it was the work of some monkey in the refueling crew. Appropriate punishment would be to douse said miscreant in jet fuel, haul him out into the grass between taxiways, and set fire to him. That would send a message.

9. Don’t know if others have received similar, but my e-mail had a copy of a letter to the Trudeau gov’t from a Calgary retired firefighter/fire officer who had also served extensively with the Alberta Labour Relations Board. In his letter he described the lengthy process thusly:
   “In my final assignment at the end of my career, I asked for and received a transfer to work on the Airport Crash Rescue Unit at the Calgary International Airport. A requirement for all staff working at the Airport is to undergo a police background check. In between the time the background check is initiated, and the time it is competed, an employee must be accompanied by another employee who has the appropriate screening and credentials. I can’t remember precisely how long it took for the RCMP to conduct my check, but it was several months. Bear in mind that this is for a person who was born in Calgary; completed primary, secondary and post-secondary education in Calgary/Lethbridge; had passed a security clearance to gain employment as a Calgary Firefighter, and had worked in this civic institution for 18 years at the time. I had also been vetted by the Provincial Government’s Lieutenant Governor Norman (Normie) Kwong to sit as a long-term member of the Alberta Labour Relations Board. In short, it would not be difficult to find information on me. I was also required to be finger printed as part of the process.
   When the day arrived and I was notified that I had passed the security clearance, I was escorted to the terminal building by a colleague to pick up my coveted airport pass. While in the waiting room, I met and visited with what seemed to be a very nice man of Arab descent, who if memory served was from Jordan. During our discussion, he indicated that his pass had only taken two weeks to get, as opposed to the months mine had taken. He left after receiving his pass, and so when my turn came I asked the RCMP Sargent why on earth it would take so long for me to acquire a clearance when this person who indicated he was a recent arrival to Canada received his in two weeks or less. The answer I received haunts me to this day.”
   The response from those tasked to do the security checking seems to be “hey, whaddya gonna do – if there’s no records we just take’em at their word”. Meanwhile fellows like this firefighter wait months to establish bona fides that constitute a Canadian life of service, participation and tax submission.

10. Anytime I go through airport security I think I should be switching Roles with the immigrants running the machine
