If she had been in the EU, this woman would've been entitled to food, hotel, and 600 euros in compensation. But because she's Canadian, she gets the runaround and an offer of a $25 meal voucher?

THIS is why people are angry. This is why we urgently need regulation. Airlines should not be allowed to get away with this.

This happened in the US. Therefor, it would fall under US laws.
