In your posts you often refer to the anonymous name-calling which is a feature of this site and, I agree, it's puerile. What you seem to overlook, however, is that the impact of your posts is lessened by your often condescending tone - name-calling in another guise. This is unfortunate as I'm sure you have some valid arguments but these will be disregarded if they are interspersed with barely concealed contempt for those you are trying to persuade that your point of view has some validity worthy of their consideration.
I have a question: will the Canadians still be wearing their lanyards and, assuming the answer is yes, what effect, if any, do you think that this will have on the cockpit working environment should the other pilot be wearing a different lanyard?
