@WestJet awful customer service. Sitting at YYZ waiting for information. Received one message 2 hrs ago that flight to Cancun was cancelled. No communication from staff. Customer service won’t speak to you until you have a second email which we don’t…
@decamps@WestJet@decamps@WestJet and even once the flight was rescheduled to Tuesday, there is no refund for the missed hotel portion of the vacation…. Will never fly WestJet again
@WestJet@WestJet can’t get through to anyone. Flight was moved to Tuesday with the departure date still on Saturday….No staff was at the gate to update customers and when we went to the help desk, they were unable to be of any assistance. Truly awful customer service.

Oh Stephen, here’s another piece of thoughtful advice.
Your party has been in office for 5 years, you have been min. of Ed for 4.5 years.
You are the status quo. You & the persistent underfunding & drive for privatization is not working
You, sir, are the problem.

I have a good idea for your social media strategy, a new human-first approach.
Walk into ANY emergency room in Ontario and stay there for 12 hours, and then ditch the glossy magazine photo posts for actual solutions to the pain this province is feeling.
And no, we don't want to hear any excuses about past government failures because you've had years to make things better.
Seniors dying. Kids hurting. Everyone in between barely holding on.
Ontario deserves better.
you can see very clear attempts across Canada to defund public education, Healthcare etc. and funnel "curated" and "elevated" options towards people with money
it's so important that we don't let these foundations of society whither away to become exclusionary profit centers
None of this is a surprise & the fact that “principals sounding the alarm” grabs the headline emphasizes the problem.
Teachers have saying this for years but we are ignored.
It’s a system that’s built on contempt for educators with students suffering the most.
We have a problem when biggest board in country provides PD for educators flagrantly contradicting Ontario Human Rights Commission (discouraging a quality phonics program, decodable texts) plus blatant misinformation about screeners (yes, they DO inform instruction). Do better.
I am a huge fan of daily meditation and movement. I know the power of positive thinking and cultivating an attitude of gratitude. But all of the mindfulness and gratitude practices in the world will not fix insufficient staffing and unsustainable workload issues.
to do what it wants without fear of a legal challenge (which may still come). This puts every one of us in the constantly stressful situation of living a precarious existence, without ever knowing when or why a sword may fall. All of us need to find a way out of this quagmire.
