(hence the 5 year dispute with the UAE?)<br /><br />Canada had not publicized the new air agreement with Qatar, perhaps fearing potential further fallout from its escalating dispute with the UAE. <br />Newspapers in the UAE have not published any details of the air agreement between Canada and Qatar although media there usually cover the aviation industry very closely.<br /><br />http://newsaviation.livejournal.com/112824.htmlwilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03589410224972050999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-17634613245282812742011-01-11T08:10:10.430-08:002011-01-11T08:10:10.430-08:00I have to wonder if Rae was elected by Toronto vot...I have to wonder if Rae was elected by Toronto voters to make sure he never returned to Provincial Politics, as a possible leader of the liberal party. <br />Would love to be a fly on the wall at the next liberal caucus meeting to hear how iggy handles this.<br />It says it was a private visit, so did he really pay for it himself, or did he arrange some meetings so he could fleece the taxpayer.<br />Would love to see him defeated next election, as he will never be liberal leader or PM.maryThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10099534478709227356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-53901252936807961492011-01-11T07:35:10.990-08:002011-01-11T07:35:10.990-08:00Agreed - Drop them in their tracks - Immediately. ...Agreed - Drop them in their tracks - Immediately.
