There is no excuse for the passport and Nexus gong shows. Ottawa has known right from the start that at some point, out-of-country travel would return. Both the passport and Nexus issues should have been dealt with proactively. But no. The government has dropped the ball big time, and its attempt to avoid any accountability by casting blame on passengers, airlines and airports for issues that Ottawa alone controls is nothing short of disgusting.
Yes, airlines have contributed to the problem by overzealous selling. But Ottawa alone controls most of the bigger pinch points. The minister of transport should lose his job.
