@WestJet telling your stranded customers in Mexico that you are working to resolve the situation while you have planes of people coming and going as if things are normal is ridiculous. Why aren’t the people affected your first priority? Beyond disappointed.

@WestJet Our flight to Calgary was cancelled on Feb. 22nd and we have zero communication from @westjet since 3:00 pm that day. That’s more than 48 hours. Update your stranded passengers!

@acoyne It strikes me as significant that certain party leaders refuse to work collectively to secure our systems and institutions and would rather score petty partisan talking points to a breathless media. Aren’t elected officials there to serve the public? Why else are we paying them?

@suehuff Chester maybe???

@shawnmicallef Thanks Shawn for speaking up. At a time like this you would hope that there would be more kindness, tolerance and help offered.

Folks...drop everything...and watch @brandicarlile sing "A Case of You" during a soundcheck at Red Rocks.

A soundcheck!

I really needed this.

When Jason Kenney warns of 'fringe elements' in the conservative movement it's AOK.
When the Prime Minister says something similar, the right wing goes ape sh*t.

Just a reminder — the top three grocery stores reported total net profits of $2.3 billion in 2022 so far. 

That’s $228 million more than the year before — $228 million that they took from YOU as a consumer. 

CEOs are using inflation to cover up their greed.

@shawnmicallef A ride on the Dufferin Bus at rush should be mandatory for every city councillor. And perhaps they should have to journey from downtown to Woburn in Scarborough too.

This is wild. Oof.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

So folks have been comparing the weird @GMB morning show interview with the climate activist in the UK with *that* scene from #DontLookUp.

So we at the @MehdiHasanShow put them side by side & the results are.. astounding. Reality mirroring art!

I was asked a few times about a so-called “trucker convoy” - here’s my response 👇

While on my way today to cover the Ambassador Bridge trucker protest, I stopped at a truck stop in Woodstock Ontario, where I met Ted McNeill. He had to take a five hour detour to get his truckload of food into Canada. He shared this message to those protesting COVID-19 mandates.

9. If people are behaving really badly at a protest in your province's second-largest city best thing to do is pack your little red shovel and head to the cottage.
10. CPC MPs always insist they are surprised by the behaviour of people who fly F*ck Trudeau flags on their lawns.
