Air Canada Hires Influencers Promoting Travel Amid Non-Essential travel Ban

[GhostRider6]

The selfishness of this generation never will cease to amaze me. Other generations had to go to war .. this generation : stay at home. EASY!

But waaaa my job, my family, my friends. My sports.! Boo hoo hoo..

There’s a pandemic.. the best way to cure it is to “ isolate and not roam! “Stay the F at home!”

This guy has figured it out! He should run for PM.

I’ll just leave this here... but you keep believing that international travel is causing the recent influx of cases pelmet...

International travel has been cut down since March so I don't really understand what your point is.

The point would be, that further restrictions are unnecessary. Given that under current guidelines, there is little transmission from travel.

[fliter]

You don’t remember writing this?

Ok, you caught me on a technicality. Feeling proud now? Don't forget your brownie points.

I am pretty sure my point is quite clear: cancelling routine screenings will drive up cancer deaths and will result of lives and many years of lives lost (as it's not just the 80+ crowd that dies from cancer, unlike the bad cold which locked up the whole world).

I understand your frustration, but it would be better directed at people who refuse to follow recommendations. It’ll be a lot more useful than railing against the government about things you only think you know about but don’t.

Oh, and you think you know. Cause you are so smrt?

People like you are like five-year-olds. "Mommy told me that if I don't misbehave, I'll get a cookie after dinner." Oh, if only we follow the "recommendations", the virus will magically disappear like a reward for good behaviour. Newsflash: the virus doesn't give a crap about our idiotic politicians and their equally idiotic recommendations. If you think that the government is full of noble dedicated leaders who listen carefully to expert recommendations, you are about as naive as a five-year-old. You have no idea what sort of lunacy goes on in the government and the public service. But you are so proud of displaying your ignorant condescension.

I’m not a mind reader fliter, if you say eating hotdogs gives you cancer I assume you mean hotdogs give you cancer. Try to be a bit more precise next time. While you’re doing that, has it occurred to you people might not be getting routine exams because the medical profession has their hands full keeping Covid patients alive?

How about try to stop giving out unsolicited advice to strangers? It just makes you look like a pretentious douchebag.

As for your question, do you even know how to read? Like, are you just trolling or are we dealing with a mental disability here? Since you are such a sucker for unsolicited advice here is some for you: go take an online course in reading comprehension aimed at about Grade 4 level, then after you hopefully mastered it a few months later, come back and reread my earlier post addressing precisely that. You might not agree with what I wrote, but it looks like it actually didn't even register with you at all.

These arguments are so obtuse. Have you never had any grief in your life because you reflect on wars and this keeps you humble? I can almost certainly say you have complained about things far more trivial than the struggles of living during a pandemic.

I am sure there were bastard officers during WW2 who talked down to the soldiers and called their generation selfish because they got to fight with modern weapons and medicine. They didn’t experience the hand of being a barbarian gladiator. To what end can we make comparisons to undermine people’s feelings? If someone is struggling with job loss, or not being able to see family, these are real struggles. It is not for anyone else to decide how they should feel about it. It needs no comparison.

Well, somebody got left at home without a babysitter.

Listening to Trudeau and then listening to influencers means a few things:

1. You probably have the attention span of a goldfish (or less)
2. You probably can't think for yourself
3. You probably struggled through college
4. You watch the kardashians/storage wars/pawn stars/or obsessed with trump
5. You truly believe that a high school drama teacher knows about supply chain management
6. You believe that the pandemic response is better than learning crisis management from a Jurassic Park sequel.
7. You believe that CBC not covering people coming on 10+ hour flights from the Middle East or Asia is less dangerous than Air Canada's CleanCare+

Why are people exactly trying to argue on this thread?

Marketing works on certain demographics. Kanye West stays relevant this way. It works folks!

[pelmet]

Once again, we see the incompetence of the people in charge. After causing massive economic damage by closing businesses where transmission is unlikely due to masks, they continue to have stupid additional policies of letting people in without tests. And then, no doubt, there are more positive tests and resulting stupid massive economic damage policies. It looks like our policymakers and experts don't have the intelligence to forcibly quarantine these untested people for two weeks like was done in the spring. Maybe our people in charge are still more concerned about making sure that anti-racism policies are followed and are more important.

"All passengers on board two Air Transat flights from Haiti to Montreal have potentially been exposed to COVID-19, the Toronto Sun reported.
Passengers seated in "all rows" have been notified by the Canadian government's exposure tracking system that they need to monitor their symptoms.
The Canadian government announced on January 7 that a negative coronavirus test is required to fly. Haiti, where these passengers were traveling from, is one of the two territories exempt from this rule.
More than 70 other international flights to Canada have carried people infected with the coronavirus, according to the Toronto Sun.
Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
Two Air Transat flights had so many people on board infected with COVID-19 that all the passengers are now deemed to be at risk of catching the virus, the Toronto Sun reported.

Flights TS663 AND TS665 - both taking passengers from Haiti to Montreal - were identified by Health Canada as flights with several confirmed coronavirus cases, the paper said.

Now, passengers seated in "all rows" have been notified that they have potentially been exposed to the virus.

The Canadian government's tracking system is used to notify passengers who have been potentially exposed to the virus. Usually, specific rows are identified and those seated there are advised to take the necessary precautions.

On this occasion, however, passengers from "all rows" - the entirety of two planes - have been advised to self-monitor their symptoms for 14 days and to self-isolate immediately if symptoms develop.

The number of people warned about the COVID-19 infection is not known. The Air Transat was flying wide-body Airbus A330s on the Haiti-Montreal route, with a capacity of up to 375 passengers, according to the Toronto Sun.

According to the government guidelines, passengers are also advised to immediately contact public health authorities if they become unwell.

The news of these potential exposures follows a January 7 announcement by the Canadian government that requires all those boarding flights to Canada to provide proof of a negative coronavirus test.

Haiti, however, is an exception to the rule. Due to limited testing capacity, passengers flying to Canada from Haiti are not required to provide a negative result.

Since the negative test requirement was introduced, over 70 international flights that have landed in Canada have carried passengers infected with COVID-19, according to the Toronto Sun."

Looks like our incompetents in charge have not learned a thing. How about no more flights from this country. Political correctness is more important than your parents or the economy.

"For the third time in 10 days, so many passengers on an Air Transat flight from Port-au-Prince to Montreal tested positive for COVID-19 that Health Canada deemed the entire plane impacted by the virus.

On Wednesday, Health Canada added TS663 — which landed in Montreal on Jan. 17 — to its online list of COVID-impacted flights. Two other flights from Haiti earlier this month — TS663 and TS665 — were deemed to have all rows affected by passengers who subsequently tested positive for the virus.

All three flights used Airbus A330s, capable of holding between 345 and 375 passengers.

Health Canada doesn’t list how many infected people were on each flight .

As of Wednesday afternoon, 139 flights with at least one COVID-19 infected passenger landed in Canada since Jan. 7, when negative COVID-19 tests were made mandatory for all Canada-bound flights.

Haiti was granted an exception to this rule until Jan. 21 due to a lack of testing infrastructure, Transport Canada told the Sun earlier this week.

Transport Canada spokesperson Frédérica Dupuis said a negative test result only means they didn’t have COVID, with a certain degree of accuracy, on the day the test was performed.

“This is why, even with valid pre-departure negative test results, we will continue to see some travellers who subsequently test positive,” she said."

The government won’t learn a thing. These aren’t leisure travel flights. It’s flying plane load after plane load of future lieberal voters in.

As I doubt you're in possession of the passenger list or Customs information we'll just chalk that up to more racist verbal diarrhea.

[Inverted2]

I don’t recall any mention of race in my post there Rickie.

[Rockie]

I don’t recall any mention of race in my post there Rickie.

Duh...got me there Mr. Bunker...ahyup.

[Dh8Classic]

Guys like Rockie who throw around the race card all the time are almost always the biggest racists in the room. Easy to prove based on the policies they push for, including right now. If I were to bother to take the time.

Too lazy to do so right now.

[whipline]

Not a lot of tourists going to Haiti Rockie. Have you flown in there? Just more ineptness by our grand leaders.

Wait and see how fast Covid clears up in the UK and the USA. You’ll wish within a month you lived in either. Your free to keep listening to the health care professionals at Public Health. Oh wait, they all quit. It’s just unqualified civil servants.

[Rockie]

I’ve never understood why so many racists deny being racist and get offended when they’re called out. It’s like they’re completely unaware of themselves but are aware on some level that being racist is abhorrent. Self aware racists don the hood and embrace it.

[altiplano]

Flying to Haiti is a real eye opener. You won't see another airport like PAP in the Western hemisphere. Take a walk in the terminal... wow...

A significant amount of the Port au Prince flights are deportees going down and people with Canadian status needing healthcare being sent back paid by the Haitian government. I think every time I've been there, we had to turn at least one person away as they were in such bad shape that they couldn't board the flight.

We brought our own mechanic and parts because you don't want to get stuck in Haiti. We brought extra seat cushions because people piss in their seats. I'm not sure if there are scared of the lavs or what...

Hearing the gossip from with the Canadian Embassy RCMP attaché that would meet us was always very interesting...

It's not racist, it's just the way it is.

I would like everybody to think about what Rockie just said. And then ask themselves why my 87 year old parents could very well die as Rockie’s types of policies put them behind every healthy young indigenous adult in phase 1 of the vaccine rollout.

They will also be jostling with every healthy young adult in Rockie’s so-called racialized communities to get an appointment for a vaccine shot in phase 2 who get equal access. All because my parents who were nice enough to let most of these people come to this country are said by Rockie to be racist and therefore less worthy of a vaccine.

And what will be next for all of us.....organ transplants maybe, automatically second to get emergency treatment in a hospital after a bus or train crash perhaps, or second in line for elective surgery someday. Don’t think it is possible. How many of you would have predicted 20 years ago that you would be meekly accepting of life saving vaccines being denied to your loved ones because you would be called out as a racist by the likes of Rockie and our top politicians.

My grandparents on one side came to this country to escape pogroms that targeted them because of their ethnicity. Any virtually all who stayed behind disappeared in the war. Despite encountering some bigotry in this country, they and the rest of the newcomers just wanted to be treated equally. Now the left have turned the majority of us into second class citizens.

Who are the real racists. Not the vast majority of you that voted to open the doors of this country.

Think about that next time Rockie and Old Fella call people racist and implement policies that could kill you. They are doing it for political gain or some other self-serving reason.

This is the result of so many being willing to vote for parties with these policies because they were willing to overlook the policies for other benefits, possibly monetary.

And as you generously welcome more and more racialized people to this country, you will be further and further back in line due to these policies. Whether it is for a job or university entrance, or a vaccine. Even the racialized communities find themselves being put in hierarchies, for the vaccine.

Not only could it cost your children their career,
It could kill you.

[Rockie]

What are my policies you’re talking about Pelmet? To my knowledge I don’t have any except follow the science, but if you can find anything different you’re welcome to post them here. You might also re-read the post I was referring to as racist as well. “Plane load after plane load of future lieberal voters”.

If it looks like shit, smells like shit and tastes like shit...it’s shit.

[pelmet]

The information here gives the priority list....

https://globalnews.ca/news/7573407/onta ... n-seniors/

Remember folks, there are all kinds of healthy young adults who are on the list before your beloved parents. Because your parents, apparently, were considered to be part of systemic racism from the moment they were conceived and therefore are less worthy of a life-saving vaccine.

And people like Rockie are bombarding forums like this to browbeat you into meekly accepting this future. What is next when it comes to life-saving procedures. Something you might want to think about in the next election.
