Videos of it were posted on social media feeds Monday, resulting in both support for the opposition party leader and questions about whether it was appropriate for a party leader to speak on a public flight, as the flight was not a charter exclusively for Conservative Party supporters.

A WestJet spokesperson, replying to an email from CTV News, said that while it was a public flight, it was actually added in order to accommodate delegates flying to the Conservative Party convention in Quebec City.

"The flight was added to our schedule and advertised as a flight serving the CPC convention. As it was a commercial flight however, guests who booked the flight were not required to indicate if they were attending the convention and therefore we are unable to determine if there were guests onboard who were not attending.

    imagine being mad about a flight you weren’t even on

    As if we need to be specifically immediately affected by a really bad idea before we can see it’s a bad idea.

    What, is Object Permanence a challenge for this Jennifer person?

      I mean…Conservatives are upset about who people that they don’t even know are having sex with, what women they don’t even know are doing with their bodies, who is reading stories in libraries to children they don’t even know, etc so there is that.
