Quote of the Day: “Only a crisis, actual or perceived, produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes the politically inevitable.” Milton Friedman
Jeff Outhit has a Front Page article today announcing that: “Flair jet seized in lease dispute”. It seems that four 737 jets were reprocessed across Canada. “Flights were cancelled Saturday at the Region of Waterloo International Airport after Flair Airlines failed to pay the lease on a jetliner, which was then seized.” Wow. Oh yea, “Regional government has in turn spent $44 million to expand the airport for more passengers.” And this doesn’t include the huge perks and fees given to Flair. Yup – the Region of Waterloo is now Toronto. Nice.
