New Brunswick’s education minister is lashing out at Air Canada, saying the airline is incompetent because it decided on the weekend to cancel a Monday flight that would have taken him and four officials to a meeting in Regina.
His comments sparked an online debate, with some people asking the minister why his delegation had to attend in-person rather than taking part in a Zoom call, which would save taxpayers money. “Checking for other tickets on other airlines had crossed my mind, but thanks for the pro tip,” the minister tweeted.Air Canada announced last week it would cut more than 15 per cent of its schedule in July and August – more than 9,500 flights – due to an air transport system bogged down by surging demand.
In recent weeks, the airline industry’s logistical problems have led to the long lineups, snarled connections and cancelled flights at many Canadian airports.
Lol this guy likes to hear himself talk. I think he also said at one point that the kids belong to the State. Maybe these politicians should start doing the job then we would be in this type of a mess. Over payed under qualified.
Finally we need more of this response. The worst service in the world which is unbelievable.
Well done!
When one plays fast & loose with Rights & Freedoms, there may be consequences. Consider it a well-deserved lesson learned.
The Flow Fascist shows his true colours. Didn't he allow 'Spring Break,' in New Brunswick while people were dying in Italy. His lot chose the path of bullying sedentary citizens, and have held Canadians hostage for over two years. It's a go with the flow, not regulation, issue.
Pilots aren’t able to fly because they are failing their physicals. freetofly
Keep blasting them- Air Canada is run by Satan. BTW where exactly is the Travel Minister Omar Alghabra- only interested if its a hockey player AirCanada yeah I am still not over you guys being a freak show. Wish I was on my 6:30 am flight tmrrw but I'm not. aircanada evil
I slept on the floor at Pearson- suck it up buttercup
Damn that Air Canada's incompetence and, and, and, and that Trudeau for his mandates...and, and, and... (taken from the Bangkok Post today)
Canadians get ripped of for lots of things,,, from gas to car insurance to flights to food... and everything in between! The government that complains about this are the ones that created it.
Oh booo whoo your flight was cancelled! You and the rest of the Higgs gang just look after NBers! Get as excited about your government in NB to do something!!
This guy is a discrase to all New Brunswick
That'll teach em' 😂
I guess he hasn’t read the headlines - this is happening everywhere.
Now do internet and cell phone charges.
Sounds like a school boy who didn’t get picked for the hockey team.
SharonT20519250 Better it would be that he turns his invective against the Trudeau govt that can no longer keep airports functioning, can’t get people their passports in less than 3 or 4 months, and continues it’s abnormal insistence on vax mandates that mean nothing.
I wish he had that much concern for medical cancellations and healthcare
Thank a liberal!
'New Brunswick cabinet minister blasts Air Canada for cancellation' And here I thought it was Conservatives calling out Liberals for being entitled🤦♀️
Maybe it’s time to stop checking the size of our shampoo bottles at security, taking off our shoes and whatever else it takes to get through security!!
“incompetent and coddled airlines” that take money for services they know they can’t deliver could be committing fraud.... That says it all... It's time to open the skies to competition in Canada. Far to long AC has screwed Canadians.
I hope he doesn't find out about BC Ferries and their endless cancelations.
Meanwhile the government are the idiots that shut down the country for 2 years, while Walmart , Costco and Amazon got extremely rich. Airline workers moved on and most likely have a much better job
Cabinet minister should Blast himself for not doing anything about Liberal Government !!!!
Liberal minister?
This guy just like to bitch about everything outside his job title.
Has he not heard of Zoom?
