Hey there, time traveller!

AN Alberta man accused of a case of air rage has been released from a Winnipeg jail cell but will no longer be able to fly Air Canada.
Byron Pinksen, 41, was granted bail Thursday with the consent of the Crown, provided he agree to several conditions. They include posting a $4,000 cash bond, abstaining from alcohol, not contacting six alleged victims and witnesses and finding another airline to use in the future.
Pinksen, who is from Grande Prairie, Alta., plans to live in St. Mary’s, N.L with family members while his case remains before the courts.
Pinksen is charged with damaging or interfering with a navigation facility, causing a disturbance, uttering threats, mischief endangering life, interference with a crew member and consuming liquor not provided by the airline following Tuesday’s incident on an Air Canada flight, which forced the pilot to make an emergency landing in Winnipeg.
