“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Calling for a consequence the US isnt even a signatory to… is a choice.

You might as well demand the Canadian Mounties launch an investigation while you are at it.

United States may split into warring federal entities. Let’s side with the better one
