Aero-News Quote of the Day

“If you’ve been lucky enough, or smart enough, or hard-working enough, to afford to spend $100,000 on a car, or $250,000 on a boat—congratulations! And thank you for contributing a little bit of that good fortune to help heal the wounds of COVID and invest in our future collective prosperity.”

Source: From an inexplicably smug, and undeniably foolish, statement by Canadian Federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland who wants to shove a luxury tax down the throats of a number of aircraft, boat and car owners to shore up the need for more cash after government mismanagement of the COVID pandemic.
