Poor guy seems to have the worst luck with planes.

Flat surfaces can be pretty slippery!

Typical behaviour from public-private partnership, so while I don't know whether air Canada or its ilk is tapped to maintain Justin's plane, it'd make sense -- just not today when "run to fail" seems to be the maintenance plan they use.

Air Canada, TransLink, BCFerries; same results (runtime failures because costly maintenance was cutting into CEO yacht money).

It's an RCAF Challenger jet.

Aircraft maintenence is regulated by federal aviation authorities, in accordance with manufacturer guidelines. It’s incredibly regulated, and transparent.

Run to failure isn’t a thing in aviation.
