Then I read the news, so I sent a text to my friend that there will be a $25 bag fee. The reply was short: "Holy sh it"

I guess the transaction will go to Shoppers Drugmart. Not that WestJet would mind, with their "updated" baggage allowance.

Myself, I really should have offloaded my WestJet Dollar balance earlier. But I always expected Air Canada to be the first to pull the trigger.
Do you have the RBC WJ World Elite card? If so the baggage charge will continue to be waived, they added the perk to the card following this change.
