I’m guessing that isn’t the first time the PM was affected, and I’m guessing he didn’t even notice when the RCAF scrambled for alternatives.and now the PM getting a first-hand taste of what the CAF has to deal with. Old, broken down equipment. Embarassment.

Ah, right...
I know this isn't new information for most of the members here, but basically every university/college student in BC is required to 'Thank and Show Gratitude to the local indigenous peoples and acknowledge that they are on their land' before giving any presentations to their classmates, or at the beginning of any form of public speaking (including presenting a project to their class, or speaking at any school event, etc)
I imagine apologizing for things on this same land is also a requirement for something, somewhere...
(An ex-girlfriend of mine that I'm incredibly proud did a year of U of Victoria in 2013. She was born & raised in small town southern Alberta in the Bible belt, and shared some things from out there that surprised a lot of us at the time)
I don't think "learning from the experience" is something he does anyway, to be fair...

Can you be more specific? When you say she shared "some things from out there", do you mean UVIC or her Southern Alberta small town ?

Looks like the interior is unchanged since acquisition; I expect they'll gut the interior as it enters the mod line at Airbus.

I am no expert, but that looks like a write-off to me, given the age of the aircraft…

If it were me, I would pull the engines and some of the avionics for spares and sell the hulk to a scrap dealer on Guam…
Oh, just that the general 'vibe' out there is very mellow and relaxed - which is true of small town southern Alberta as well, just in different ways. (Ex in BC marijuana & drug use is viewed upon much more casually than in Mormon territory of southern Alberta)
In regards to thanking the indigenous peoples for allowing them to study on their lands & acknowledging that those lands do infact belong to the indigenous peoples - thats just something we didn't do growing up here in Alberta.
In Alberta, I have never witnessed a presentation in university where before the subject matter is presented, the presenter took the time to thank the indigenous people for allowing us to be on their land.
When I visited her in BC and watched one of her presentations, there wasn't a single student who did not to do this.
Just stuff like that

Nah, they fixed it pretty quick. Pretty sure that airframe was involved in a rejected takeoff a month later in Calgary.

If that is the case it is very impressive. Accident occurred on Guam near the end of July.

If the seating config remains the same, I bet certain L1s are already writing policy on who can sit where on the aircraft.
