“If the airline is unable to re-book a passenger on its own or partner airlines departing within 48 hours of the original departure time, they have to buy the passenger’s seat ticket on the next available flight of any carrier. And that means including competitors. That’s what the law says, that’s what WestJet has to do. The problem is that WestJet is flouting the law. WestJet treats the law as if it was just friendly recommendations.”

I live in California.
California was extorted from Mexico by the so-called "Mexican War" or 1846.
President, US Grant - yes that Grant from the Civil War - said that the 1846 Mexican War was the most unjust war he had ever seen. And Grant was right, it was a pretext war to take land from Mexico.
So I am wondering when Mexico will do a snatch and grab on El Cheato and take over the running of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and parts of Nevada and Utah.

Unthinkable for European governments, but Mexico demonstrates that it is indeed possible to condemn the US intervention in #Venezuela.
