Fuck does air travel suck worse now. Just traveled from Winnipeg to Edmonton. First direct flight was canceled. Had to choose a new flight. And they gave me 30 dollars for the inconvenience. Then flight was delayed, many times. What should have been a 2 hour flight I get home at 2 ended up being a 13 hour mess getting home closer to 8. Fuck Westjet.

WestJet is objectively the worst major airline in Canada. I pay more just to avoid it whenever possible.

I so wish I could just take Via anywhere in the country. It's expensive and slow but it is so infinitely a better experience. I would (and have) always choose a 4-5 hour train ride over a one hour flight

Really hoping the HSR project is completed in a reasonable time
