So tragic 🤧
I think it’s time to retire the snowbirds
Their age is worrying. But Canada has neglected its military materiel for literally decades – while Australia (a comparable country) is buying 12 new nuclear submarines from France Canada has none in operation and is as vulnerable militarily as a sitting duck.
Time to get new aircraft for sure.
You know America would never let anything serious happen to it’s top hat… or it’s rights to drill up north (near Alaska)…
So so sad !!
This is Trudeaus fault as he has driven our military into he ground
Troll post. Paid by Conservative party
CFGYVR troll post Chinese bot
@matrixripp09 Oh Hai!
It’s clearly the fault of Winston Churchill
2013-2014 were the lowest on record spending on military at 0.98%. Current 2020 budget is comparative to the 2009 conservative budget of 1.4%. Its slowly increasing 0.1% every year to ideally reach 2% of GDP by 2026.
I also hope if Trudeau has something to say he speaks from his heart and not a prepared statement as he has done in the past
Why do morons like you always have to make horrible, horrible situations like this political. You should be ashamed of yourself.
@ajcook7777 my thoughts exactly
yes, like Conservative PM’s speak from the heart and never prepared statements. Do you hear yourself speak?
I hope the Forces members are also ok.
Shoot! They aren’t. RIP to the one CF Snowbird. I hope for a full recovery for the other. Also I forgot… sorry about your family home. I do hope they’re being well looked after.
Holy crap! She’s a Nova Scotian. Rest in peace Cpt. Jenn Casey. What’s going on with NS and tragedies this year? I don’t know if I can cry hard enough for you neighbour but love from NB.
So the news Still don’t know if any pilots were killed ? Anyone ???
Apparently one pilot died and another seriously injured. No reports of casualties on the ground.
Everyone on the ground was fine
Legit it’s ironic

coldcoldrain13 I think the passenger in the plane died. RIP
There is one crew casualty but I didn’t see what rank they were
@Ryloyolo 8000hq lmao
I am heartbroken for the Snowbirds and once again for Nova Scotia. How much more are we supposed to be able to absorb as a country. It’s getting to be too much. I hate turning on the news.
Wow. I am glad that his dad is ok. Too bad the pilot Did anyone check on him?
2 flight crew one in bad condition the other deceased.
Do not click on the comment… ” wanna be friends?”. There is a massive security breach associated with that account.
Yea I dunno who would fall for that
Paul Nobert why I clicked on it by accident 😔
It happened fast did it? Didn’t see that coming!
Tragic loss for family, friends and Canadians.
I would like to see the explanation for claim segment on the house insurance form for this one… 😂
I think a short “CAF snowbirds crash” should about cover it.
proves when its your time is up
on the plus side i need a duo for the tournament
Omfg dude
ground and replace the old snowbirds. To many crashes
Time to retire these dangerous antiques, They first flew in 1960.
