Summary
On this episode of The Really Big Show, Jim Csek and Iain Burns tear into the layers of institutional incompetence piling up across the country. We break down the absolute shocker out of the aviation sector, where an Air Canada pilot managed to fly commercial wide-body jets for nearly 17 years without a valid commercial license right under the nose of Transport Canada regulators. We also dive into the "Alto Pig"—the $90 billion high-speed rail Crown corporation that has managed to hand out millions in executive bonuses while failing to lay a single mile of track—and look at the Liberal cabinet's quiet preparation for a third regulatory swing at controlling your internet access. Plus, we look across the Atlantic where the UK is facing a full-blown border crisis as Belfast burns under Keir Starmer's watch.
