It was crazy windy in the early afternoon. Plus Parliament Hill is more susceptible to higher winds. Poor guy! Hope he makes a full recovery.

“Skydiver?!” He’s an airborne soldier, not just a sport parachutist. The wind doesn’t always cooperate. Hope he’s ok.

I was in Ottawa on Canada Day, saw him coming down but didn't know he got injured.

If he can't even handle a simple case like car theft, he really should step down.

Was it Justin, attempting a magic carpet stunt?

[yup]

Can you even crash a parachute? Don't you just land rough?

It was an intentional representation of Trudeau!s popularity.

I remember the days when Canada meant excellence, now it just means incompetent. Can't even put together a celebration without major embarrassments. We are Mexico north now.
