=Unruly' airline passenger arrested for not wearing mask, smoking cigarette on flight==

Now that’s a true revolt, “I’m not wearing some damn mask snd I’m going to light a cigarette to boot!” Kek

A man from British Columbia has become Canada’s first citizen to be arrested for failing to don a face mask during air travel. But that wasn’t his only offense — he also lit up a cigarette on board, police say.

Balvir Singh, 60, was flying with WestJet Airlines on Sunday when, during the flight, Singh became “unruly” and refused to wear a face covering, which has been a requirement of all travelers flying into, out of, or within Canada as of April. He also lit up a cigarette midway between Vancouver and the intended destination of Toronto, prompting the crew to make an unscheduled diversion to Winnipeg.

Cuomo brushes off criticism over nursing home deaths as 'shiny object

Wow that’s going to come back and bite him big time. Tell that to someone that lost a spouse or grandparents, etc. oh and of course it’s Trump’s fault, you know the president he had undying raise for. Arrogant little prick. That’s cold

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday again defended his administration’s now-scrapped nursing home policy that critics say contributed to thousands of coronavirus deaths, slamming the controversy as “a shiny object” and “pure politics.”

Cuomo’s comments came during an interview on New York’s WAMC-AM on Thursday. He was asked about the criticism and whether he acknowledged the policy was “on the wrong track.”

“No,” the Democratic governor responded. “The nursing home is an unfortunate situation on two levels. Number 1, people in nursing homes died. The nursing home [controversy] is pure politics, the Republicans in Congress, they think there’s a vulnerability.”

He added: “The nursing home thing it’s just all politics.”

Cuomo went on to say the criticism is just a way to deflect criticism from the Trump administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“They don’t want to talk about what the federal government did on COVID. So they want to attack the Democrats for nursing home deaths,” Cuomo said. “It’s the same M.O … just distract, you know, create a shiny object to take the attention off what they don’t want you to focus on.”

He added: “We had the worse case in the United States because the federal government had no idea what was going on. Where was the CDC? And where was the NIH? And where was everybody?”

While Trump has faced significant criticism for handling at the federal level, Cuomo has received scathing criticism for his early order requiring that nursing homes accept COVID-19 patients who had been released from hospitals, effectively placing them in the same facilities housing the demographic most vulnerable to the virus.
