Chinese jetliners and a health charge at St. Clair West diner






China has test-flown its first passenger jet, the C919. No doubt a source of national pride and future business, the C919 includes many parts made by US and other foreign firms. As usual, the Chinese are flexible when it comes to business. Next, a St. Clair Ave West restaurant, Emma’s Country Kitchen, will begin asking customers if they’d like to pay three percent of their bill towards health care for the staff. Patrons seem agreeable but feel they’d rather not be asked. Decisions, decisions. And finally, a well-done and quite chilling report from the BBC about a frightening young man who wanted to set off a bomb in the London subway as a “prank.”
