The government takes all its cues from private sector. We've been indoctrinated to believe government is inherently inefficient, but all of its worst qualities are from douchebag CEOs with MBAs.
Two things I’m not sure is widely understood:
1. Many public servants no longer have their own desks and work in transient government co-working spaces
2. Many describe a Kafkaesque existence of going to physical offices only to spend their time on video calls with the people sitting next to them

Charlie is willfully misleading his followers. The article literally says the decision about whether to purchase the F-35 is deeply political and that Canadians prefer the Gripen, but that pilots still need to be trained on them which is where the politics falls away.
CBC continues to scold Canadians on the need to keep our "politics" out of the discussion on whether we get strong-armed into buying the F-35.
Lol... the F-35 is all about politics.
It is the politics of threat and intimidation against our independence.

I hope they plan to appeal because that is not a precedent that should be floating around.
Can you imagine if this was a precedent in Minnesota?? Anyone ICE isn't assaulting or killing would be sued for literally blowing a whistle.

A Canadian jury convicted a protester of criminal assault for sounding an electronic whistle at a Conservative MP:
"Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland told the jury there were no legal precedents for the assault charge: assault with a weapon normally involves touching someone with that object"
