How many times do these situations have to happen before government stops hanging out at the the lobbyist's cocktail party and actually does its job regulating companies and protecting citizens?

“If the airline is unable to re-book a passenger on its own or partner airlines departing within 48 hours of the original departure time, they have to buy the passenger’s seat ticket on the next available flight of any carrier. And that means including competitors. That’s what the law says, that’s what WestJet has to do. The problem is that WestJet is flouting the law. WestJet treats the law as if it was just friendly recommendations.”

My heart and support goes out to the female flight attendants from Westjet. The settlement they got today acknowledges the misogyney they faced, but doesn't feel like enough. I have witnessed enough brazen and blatant musogyny and disrespect of the women who work for Westjet that I will not take that airline unless I have no other option.

Female flight attendants say WestJet policies failed to protect them. A court will rule on a settlement | CBC News

A B.C. court will decide in the coming days whether to approve a $4.5-million settlement with female WestJet employees who say they suffered due to the airline’s lack of procedures to combat harassment. WestJet would admit no liability under the terms of the agreement.

Canadians continue to talk with their wallets.

Air Transat are ending all of their flights to US destinations - the last one to Puerto Rico (which you might argue should be immune, as the territory is treated so badly by US Administration) very soon.
Similarly, Westjet is whittling down destinations (to 10), and with fewer flights.
Canadians discovering attractive holiday / conference destinations not in country run by the aggressively unpleasant.
