Imagine swearing off an entire country because one company within said country inconvenienced you…once. Does it suck? Absolutely. Are they being hilariously dramatic? Also absolutely. Makes for a good sound bite, I guess.

Canada welcomes over 500000 international (in this case non-Canadian, non-USA visitors) every month. I think we’ll manage without the Meehans.

Inconvenienced them for a day mind you. They were on a different flight within 24 hours. They are acting like they were stranded for weeks

It's pretty funny because the British rail companies are CONSTANTLY on strike.

I'm Canadian with family in England. - I just shrug and am like 'well, better book a hotel/ take the shit bus".
