Whats shocking....that the airport staff (AC and YVR), this should have been a #1 priority to get these people off....what a joke of AC and YVR airport.....i would almost try my luck opening the door and sliding out....at least they have a constitutional obligation to protect you from the elements.....its seems you have better treatment as an accused felon than these passengers......
Its only 10 cm of snow and -5C.....i can hike to the terminal with my carry on just fine.....
What a joke and doesnt start the busiest time for airlines in three years very well....
