Canada's federal and most provincial politicians have decided that in the current environment air travel is contrary to the best interest of Canada and Canadians. Air Canada respects this decision and to support this effort, effective 12:01 AM February 1st all Air Canada domestic, transborder and international flights will cease. We look forward to welcoming you back on board when your politicians have decided it is again safe to travel. Regrettably this means that we will be laying off all but a skeleton staff, so we will not be able to handle your calls. Should you need to make alternate travel arrangements, we encourage you to contact the Prime minister's office. In the meantime, rest assured that we will retain your funds as a travel credit for future use.

We apologize for any inconvenience and encourage you to discuss the need for travel with your MP and/or MLA.

Love, Calin
Thoughts?
Brilliant. ❤️❤️❤️
