I think the airlines are in the right here. Not necessarily when it comes to holding customers hostage for bailout money. They are an essential service that we, as citizens of a country too big to drive across, require. We need air travel to exist in Canada. The federal government has chosen to drive their business into the ground for the past year. They are entitled to recompense from the federal government for the damages the federal government inflicted. Instead of blaming the airlines for demanding the government make them whole, blame the government for causing the problem in the first place.

Then blame China for releasing the virus, for all the good that will do you.
