How bad has it gotten that Canadians don't even apologize to each other anymore? This is some kind of end-times canary for sure.

Air Canada is much like the Canada Goose.
One of the things that flies, but also an ornery bastard.
The only thing that wants anything to do with Canada Gooses.... is Canada Mooses
Canadian here, that's mostly a myth. Everyone's an asshole up here too.
As a dual citizen who's lived in both, agreed. Americans and Canadians are exactly the same.
Sorry.
*Am American, but interested in bridging the ummm...erm, asshole gap.
Air Canada doesn't count as Canadian in our eyes.
She said the pilot told the women, who were on their way to Vienna, that they could leave and book new flights at their own expense "or they would be escorted off the plane by security and placed on a no fly list!"
Most fast-food workers have better soft skills than this.
Air Canada: we're not happy until you're not happy
Vomit covered seats is the standard package with aircanada now. They must have missed the option to upgrade for 299 to have a seat without bodily fluids.
The flight attendant wasn't getting paid if the doors of the plane were still open. Maybe if Air Canada paid them, they would care about vomit.
Okay, I consider myself pretty reasonable in the face of inconvenience, but there's no way in hell I'd sit in a seat covered in vomit, and I'd certainly make a stink about getting another flight paid for. I know the flight crew probably didn't have time to fully deal with the situation between flights, but the airline should have some kind of contingency for dealing with a potential biohazard situation.
Don't tell us... Tell the airport police you called to escort them off the plane, and the no fly list you added them to because they didn't want to sit in vomit.
Ungrateful people. The vomit was complimentary. They don't even give you peanuts anymore.
They were wiping the seats down themselves, such champs
Welcome to Air Canada, sorry
Air Canada is dispelling the decades-old reputation that Canada has for being polite...
