e: In actual kind of news, it seems someone's getting bored and wants everyone to know he's working hard at DOING SOMETHING, even though that something is just demanding answers about a problem that the company involved has already solved on its own

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/sunwing-mexico-quebec-passengers-vaping-1.6304238

Federal Transport Minister Omar Alghabra says he has asked Transport Canada to investigate reports of "unacceptable'' behaviour on a recent Sunwing Airlines flight to Cancun, Mexico.

Videos of the Dec. 30 flight shared on social media appear to show passengers not wearing masks as they gather in close proximity, dancing in the aisle and on seats. In one video, a large bottle of vodka appears to be passed among passengers.

According to reports, the plane had been chartered and some of the passengers were cast members from Quebec reality television shows.

Alghabra said in a post on Twitter that the risks of COVID-19 need to be taken seriously.

I will say it is refreshing to see a story about sunwing where the problem isn't people who voluntarily chose to fly sunwing, and got stranded in some faraway place because lol sunwing

It's actually really, really funny and it's getting worse.

One returned somehow yesterday, and assaulted and verbally abused a journalist. At least one has been arrested for drunk and disorderly down in Mexico. Several have been barred from even US airlines and can't find a way back, and most of them will probably have fines at the very least waiting for them when they get back to Canada. It's the purest, best schadenfreude anyone's ever seen before, and that's saying something because we saw Kevin J. Johnston's accomplice phone US border patrol on him because he was about to freeze to death while attempting to flee justice just two days ago, and that was pretty great.

I would argue that YouTubers and streamers whose end-goal isn't a personality cult don't quite qualify in the same way. Like, Hoodraulic Press Channel guy isn't an influencer, he's just an entertainer.

Yeah, it's the same thing as domestically where people are being put at risk because a bunch of selfish assholes want to go to the mall or whatever, and can't be arsed to wear a mask. They can't close the country to tourism without destroying their economy, any more than a minimum wage retail worker can quit their job and still afford to live, and assholes are taking advantage of that and putting people at risk.

Mind you, if it causes a problem to society... certain cartels have shown the inclination to protect their idea of the common good when the government will not. Maybe this problem will take care of itself and they can return to Canada in the cargo hold.

Exactly. I went down to the Riviera last December too, and it was honestly great. The staff there were all taking the precautions super seriously, far more discipline about it then I see back home. Those people don't deserve having these influencer assholes dumped on them.

After Granville got bought out by Molson I sorta stopped supporting them. The Winter Ale of course is god tier but I'd rather support smaller brands. Thankfully here in Winnipeg we have a fuckton now and most are incredible. Nonsuch, Little Brown Jug, One Great City, Trans Canada and those are the big players right now.
