@AirCanada you cancelled my Sunday morning flight and just 1 hour later told me there are no options to rebook me within 3 days on any airline. That my only option is reimbursement. It’s a lie. I see many flights available. They’re just $$. You’re obliged to rebook me - do it!

This isn't hypothetical.
The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
