I flew out of Quebec City years ago, they didn't bother doing gate announcements in English at all. Looks like I may have missed out on a small windfall by not complaining.

Did I hear you correctly? Did you say‘ place the small metal flap into the buckle? or did you say ‘place the buckle over and around the small metal flap’? I’m a simple man, I do not possess an engineering degree, nor am I mechanically inclined.

After a quick google of their names, that guy has been up to this #### since 2009. I swear it was discussed on this forum. The picture of his punchable face is hard to forget. Except last time the judge threw out the case for not being served 7up in both languages.

I'm shocked that they're not charging her if I understand the story. Basically this awful human being had resigned and was working on her last day.

I don't know if she actually broke the law here, but at least her name is out there, hopefully she doesn't find a new job.

You sound conflicted.



According to the story though, her actions didn't have an impact on rescue services getting to the caller. The dispatcher was just a jerk.

Nah not conflicted. I just don't know if there's a law that she broke in her actions. But its pretty clear that yeah she's a jerk and a horrible person.

They didn't. Emergency services were on scene in less than 15 minutes. Which was even before the call was over.

The dispatcher was insanely rude, condescending and unfeeling, last day or not.

We're occasionally told to remember to treat callers as if our voice is the last one they'll hear...because for some folks, it will be.

There's nothing to charge her with, though. As I have occasionally told my callers when they've called up to ask..."Being a jerk is not illegal, it's just rude and mean."

I had a bit of a laugh:

Vegan activists separate chickens from cockerels on Spanish farm 'so the hens aren't raped' because they do not give 'consent'

Quote:
On their Twitter page, the activists describe themselves as 'anti-speciesist' and 'transfeminist.'

Anti-speciesists believe that judging types of animals as different to each other, or humans, is wrong.

They also believe that humans favour and treat some species better, like dogs, which we shouldn't do.
Quote:
The vegans then reveal that 'we separated the cocks because we don't want the hens to get raped.'

'Either you are vegan or you help to finance animal slavery. Eating animals is fascist,' they added.

Hmm. I’m a vegan and I don’t feel this way.

I hope none of our US posters give anything to the HSUS. Biggest scam going.

Oh I know most vegans aren't this way. I was just impressed at the level of bats-it these two are

This is beyond ridiculous, I couldn't believe it when I saw this story yesterday. It's blown up all over Twitter as well.
