According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the CC-150 Polaris plane “became unserviceable” after it arrived in London because a problem with one of the engines was discovered during a post-flight inspection.
A different CC-150 Polaris from the fleet has been sent to bring the delegation back to Canada later today. According to CTV News Senior Political Correspondent Glen McGregor, the backup to the backup was in Italy with the Governor General for her visit, but itDespite this, the PMO says that she will still be home in time to read the throne speech happening in Ottawa tomorrow.
Trudeau and the group that travelled with him to the summit on Monday made the trek there on another replacement plane because the prime minister’s main plane had been grounded until August 2020, after a collision at CFB Trenton left it with a crushed nose and engine damage in October. According to the Canadian Armed Forces, the main plane — a CC-150 Polaris used to transport the prime minister to international events — was being towed at the military airbase in Trenton, Ont. on Oct. 18 whenThe cost to repair the main plane, and now to fix the backup, remain unknown.
“In the meantime, the RCAF has other aircraft that can be used for transport and are confident it can meet the needs of the government while the aircraft is being repaired,” reads the statement from the PMO.
Should have tried to catch a sweet wave home on his little surfboard in his speedo.
Who are they waiving to
Are these guys stoned or what’s going on,,
Save the planet, walk!
It’s embarrassing...
We need to lease planes until we get our act together. This is dangerous and embarrassing. Our PM no matter what political party is in power needs safe transportation.
✈️✈️🍷🍷🤡 get a ride home with TRUMP
Should have flown back with Air Canada 🇨🇦 I am sure they could have accommodated him. Could have flown coach.
Every hear of a sail boat? 😂
KARMA
They probably didn’t pay the bill.
great keep the idiot at home
Take Greta’s boat back 🚣♀️
Why can’t Canada’s PMs have decent aircraft to fly in and a decent home to live in?
Can’t get a lift with Trump?
Just leave him there who would care
Well many it will reduce Skippings carbon footprint!
Call SunWing...
Who is he waving to. I saw a shot of him walking to the plane. There is no one within a mile.
Perfect opportunity to save some of our taxes, and pay of his deficit, just leave him there.
And, yet, he brags about the military superiority of Canada. I in no way insult the men and women who served and who have served, my father among them, but he can't even get a plan to fly him there and back. What is the condition of all other equipment?
Only plane trouble ?
I think there is a message in the recurring plane groundings.
Not my PM.
Wow ! That’s gonna cost him a lot of carbon credits!
Q: How many planes does it take to fly a PM home? A: Depends where home is.
He can take a slow leaky boat, two faces.
ctvqp Since he’s so keen on getting off FF This would be the perfect time to flap his arms and fly home🤷♀️ cdnpoli canada
Can we instead get a replacement PM? A jet can get new parts replaced and be as good as new, this PM has too many parts needed, more than we can afford to give him! TwoFacedTrudeau BlackFaceTrudeau ThanksForYourDonation
Still waving to no one.......
Catch a ride with realDonaldTrump
45 put sugar in the fuel tank
Where are his 2 election jets?
He definitely needs new planes.....because global warming.
MORE BS! JustinTrudeau is ALREADY using JET 2 cause JET 1 is down for repairs! Guess maybe JustinTrudeau should not have worn out “OUR” two jets flying him and his family around the world as well as doing FLYING PHOTO OPS! If he says OTHER, then he is TWO-FACES!
oh canada this is just embarrassing
Travel safely, Mr. Prime Minister. 🥰
Leave him there!!!! trudeauout2021
Just leave him there!
Thank God for FOX. news and Donald Trump ( no liberal WELFARE cheques ctv )
And you people said he didn't need 2 planes.
Hopefully the next one he gets on has troubles in the air crashes and explodes on impact!!!
If not for the military members on board, I'd say I hope it crashes.
He usually has two planes when he travels, just use the spare.
'This backup to the backup was in Italy with Gov. Gen. Julie Payette ... and it has been diverted to transport the prime minister.' Why wasn't this plan all along? Why send multiple planes? So much talk about emissions, but not leading by example.
They should send a Globemaster this time, enough space to fit his ego.
All in all another Trudeau cluster f&k.
He could ask president Trump for a ride home🤣🤣
It’s probably worn out.
And you expect us to spend 2% GDP on defences realDonaldTrump . Can't even afford a new fucking plane.
Everything about Junior is a joke .. world's laughing stock.
This is embarrassing for a G7 country. We should have state of the art aircraft for our government and a suitable residence for our PM. For the whiners, these will be used by future PMs and governments, even cons maybe.
Maybe he can hitch a ride with someone? Oh, right....burned those bridges again already!
Doesn't Greta have a solar powered boat she could lend him?
Just leave him there ... he's not worth the air fare to get back .
He probably thinks he needs a couple of escort jets too
Maybe the universe is trying to tell him something.
Plane troubles...is this really NEWS?
Hahahahaha What a joke 👎👎
Just more time for the PM to tend the hotel's mini bar.
Get what you pay for. The military has been underfunded for decades and now the political class is seeing the consequences.
This is a Canadian joke and a joke for Prime Minister
TrumpCurse
Get home safe, Mr. Prime Minister!
