Decertification of an aircraft by a national regulator like the FAA would make it unable to legally fly in that particular country.
Thousands of Quebec-based Bombardier’s business jets operate in the U.S., and its recently-divested CRJ passenger jets are operated by several regional American airlines.
So halt air travel and tourism in the US by both Canadians and Americans and force American airliners to buy brand new aircraft? Am I reading that correctly?
Hard agree. I tend to ignore posts that only provide a link and nothing else.
At the very least highlight something of the text in the post description that is worth reading to create a discussion, and then give us your two cents in the comments.
On the other end of the spectrum are post descriptions that copy the entire article and you’re met with a giant wall of text. It’s about curation, folks!
Roughly one in five residential buildings in Canada has high radon levels — a figure that’s more than doubled since the late 2000s — while radon-induced lung cancer kills an estimated 3,200 people each year, federal figures show.
Yep. We bought a test kit off of Amazon that gave us readings of 400+ Bqm on average which prompted me to buy a proper lab testable module. Months later my results came back and the area that was tested showed a bit over 330 +/- 60 Bqm, way past the upper limit of acceptable Radon levels.
I’ve got a guy coming in to install a fan, so we’ll see how that goes.
We moved into a new build, so the builder is eating that cost as part of the Tarion program in Ontario, but we paid for the lab test. Thankfully our builder included a soil pipe as part of the new construction before the new building code update came into effect.
Thinking about this further down the road: What happens when the company stops making cars altogether or drops support? Do these smart cars still function without having to call home, or do they effectively become bricks on wheels?

Anna Zeiter, CEO of W, has told Bilanz.ch that W stands for “We.” Meanwhile, the first of the Vs that make up W stands for “Values,” and the second for “Verified.”
“The fact that W comes before X in the alphabet is certainly also a welcome coincidence,” Zeiter said.
Was curious if the”W” had a deeper meaning to it. Turns out it’s actually two V’s that form a “W”

On Tuesday, Ruck won a self-represented case against the City of Mississauga, challenging part of a weed control bylaw that prohibits growing grass over 20 centimetres and growing certain plants. Ruck was seeking $2.46 million in damages and other relief, but he was not awarded any money, according the ruling.
$2.46 million in damages?? Man’s out here seeking $1 for every overgrown blade of grass on his lawn.
Politicians don’t act until it affects them personally, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see complete inaction before a full frontal cabinet member orgy makes it to the front page.

"The leaked elements, such as the specific API tables and database schemas can only be artifacts of an isolated third-party test environment, containing only dummy data used for functionality checks. While no data in the dump points to NordVPN, we have contacted the vendor for additional information," NordVPN explained.
"Because this was a preliminary test and no contract was ever signed, no real customer data, production source code, or active sensitive credentials were ever uploaded to this environment.
"We ultimately chose a different vendor and did not proceed with the one we tested. The environment in question was never connected to our production systems."
