Canada: Freedom of Speech succumbing to Kangaroo Courts of the Human Rights Commission Proceedings against Ezra Levant are nothing short of ridiculous, but let's consider the implications for moderate Muslims. This "investigation" will further divide Muslims and non-Muslims in Canada. It will give credence to radicals' claims that the West is at war with Islam. It will antagonize non-Muslims and moderate Muslims will be pushed towards radicalization. Regardless of the outcome, once again Islamists skillfully manipulated Dhimmi justice system and came out as clear winners. Thank you, Human Right Commission!

So, if “caregivers” don’t have to pay for a ticket if the person needs assistance in the air with feeding, toileting, etc, doesn’t that mean that if I buy a ticket for my baby, I should get a free seat? After all, diapers, nursing, etc all have to be done on the plane.

Too bad I’m not flying in Canada any time soon.

Maybe the airlines will add weight surcharge. Each traveler is allowed X pounds total travel weight. They already charge more for extra or heavy baggage. You weigh in with your luggage.

I don’t carry much luggage when I travel, Maybe I should add a few pounds and get the extra space.

How on Earth can any rationalperson consider size a disability. The issue is not that the obese need some sort of constant medical assistance in flight, it’s only that they can’t fit comfortably in a coach seat. If Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle John Henderson (6’7” 320 pounds) wants to buy a coach ticket, is he entitled to a free second seat on grounds that he is disabled?
