“[he argued] he committed no wrongdoing because he believed coast guard vessels should wait to be tasked before responding to a distress call. "
Absolutely shocking. Goes against everything I ever learned on the water when I was out fishing with my dad.
If you hear a distress call on the radio that means it is near you... you drop everything, and you help.
For this guy... a captain in the Coast Guard!!... to “wait for instructions” is beyond the pale.
Seconds are life on the ocean.
Smug dude looks like an entitled ass and a coward….
Glad he was fired.

2026: He too? 😦
(2006 phrase "Me too" not to be confused with 2017 #MeToo.)

A friend working in the #Philippines introduced me to #PhilippineAirlines’ current in-flight #safety #video. It’s no…
And this, by the Ontario Appeals Court is also good!
Disgusting asshole.

Wow. This is a good result!
"In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of Canada has created a new tort of intimate partner violence that will allow people to sue for damages when they have been subject to abuse in a relationship.
"Intimate partner violence is a pernicious social ill deserving of the full attention of the law," the summary of the majority judgement says in defining intimate partner violence.
"Best understood, it is not confined to conduct that inflicts physical or psychological injury, but includes all abusive conduct by which one intimate partner coerces and controls the other, thus depriving them of their autonomy.””

I wonder how many teenage lives could be saved (along with hundreds if not thousands of dollars in travel costs) if Alberta and Canada had a functioning bus/rail intercity public transport system.
But let's not do that... it might upset some car company lobbyist. Best to put 17 year-olds on icy Alberta highways at night after hockey practice.
