There is another tenuously related point that has arisen lately, not involving anyone’s rights but Canada’s seriousness as a country. All of the G7 countries (except Germany) — as well as Russia, China, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates — have extremely skilled demonstration aerobatic jet teams that perform in air shows and are a matter of pride to their air forces and to the people of all these countries. Ottawa has announced that following this season, Canada’s Snowbirds, which have impressed and delighted Canadians and others for over 50 years, will be grounded until the 2030s at the earliest, if they come back at all. This must not be allowed to happen. As Winston Churchill said,  “An efficient and a successful administration manifests itself equally in small as in great matters.”
