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.
