Too innocent to arrest to dangerous to fly 2 · Saturday June 30, 2007 by colin newell
Alistair Butt and Alistair Butt both have the same problem — they can’t fly because of their name.
One Butt is a 15-year-old Ottawa boy — a star athlete and 2003 Ontario junior citizen of the year. The other Butt is a 10-year-old home-school student from Saskatoon who just finished Grade 4.
Both Butts were barred from their flights after their name popped up on a no-fly list, which is intended to flag airline security threats.
Canada’s no-fly list in an obvious waste of time and money that will do nothing for aviation security.
What’s more, when one of the Butt parents asked what they could do to fix this situation they were told:
“...perhaps it would be best to change the child’s name.”
Why? Because the child could be barred for flying for life.
And he will never be told why.
Because it’s a secret.
Fcuk. Fcukity Fcukity Fcuk.
Who stole Canada?
Aeroplan to screw customers
Awesome. So glad you didn’t quit
blogging about this crazy stuff.

The downside to keeping ones finger on the pulse of this fookin continent… is that I am pissed off all the time.
I hope this makes you happy! :-)

Who stole Canada? Nobody stole Canada. We gave it, and are still giving it away by continuing to elect those pompous socialist airheads who told all those lovely future voters: “Here…this is Canada…land of the free-bee…come in and take it. And to show you all how fair we are, please don’t be afraid to ram your slum culture, your mumbo-jumbo, your militant faith and your stone age manners down our throats. For we have special forces to deal with those who have an opinion about you. And don’t try to melt or blend in ‘cause that will screw up our envied multi-cultured society where everything goes. No! Establish your own brandnew ghetto, preferably somewhere close to Toronto”.
PS: “Oh…and please don’t stop making your fashion statements”.
