    1. Logan what the hell is wrong with you ? You must be empty. No friends. No one to love and be loved. Call your mom , she’ll understand.

    1. It is. Tough to see some of the fools commenting on here.
      She was a smart cookie with a great career.
      She will be missed.😒

  1. That thumbnail, and the background, it looks like there is some weird filter on her image…

    1. It’s the app she’s using, has the option to blur your background. I’m using it for online classes atm.

  2. A hologram ? I wonder if the fact that these planes are well over 50 years old has anything to do with the apparent malfunction ?

    1. Try an inexperienced pilot.
      She was the weak link.
      Her colleagues have to support her, even if she was a lousy pilot. All in the name of political correctness.

  3. That headline got me excited, I thought Payette expired! it said “We are going to grieve her tremendously: Gov Gen Payette. Dang it.

  4. A feudal monarchy image should be gone with last century, expensive & useless completely uselsss.

    1. Total agree. Where the hell has the Governor General been throughout this entire pandemic? It took a Snowbird crash for her to suddenly make an appearance. Meanwhile, thousands of Canadians have died and front line staff are working countless hours to save lives. Would be nice if she can make herself useful by doing some volunteer work instead of collecting a paycheque for doing nothing during this time. If u cant volunteer, at least have the decency to give up your pay during this time to show solidarity with Canadians.

    1. They did ban all entertainment events as nonessential. But then they exempted themselves.

    2. @Barry Fitzgerald The Snowbirds fly year round to train and remain current. They would be flying somewhere else anyway.
      Older aircraft regularly suffer mechanical malfunctions, fact of life.

  5. Trudeau needs to buy more second hand used aircrafts – save money to fight trans rights …

  6. senseless loss of life because some bureaucrat wants to please the nation with aircraft aerobatics. just ground the snowbirds and thereby eliminate the risk of plane crashes

  7. Another Justin Turdoh Liberal Appointed Peon. She is A Liberal, which automatically makes me not like her. She couldn’t even speak properly, her enunciation and pronunciation with her weird accent, annoyed me.
