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.”

@chris However, since ALL flights were cancelled during the mafia rebellion, all airlines that fly there have a backlog of passengers to return home. So it isn't so easy to just ask United to take your pasengers (especially since flying to USA now has dangers).

Having said that:

The daily non stop to Vancouver was cancelled only on Feb 22 and 23.
There are also flights to Calgary and an extra flight on saturdays.
