Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

It’s things like this that the rabid left will never acknowledge. Any company is made up of individuals. Some of those individuals are good. It doesn’t matter whether one’s paycheck comes from a for-profit, non-profit, or government coffer; what’s more important is who you are and what you choose to do. I’ve yet to meet a supporter of only-public-healthcare who doesn’t think that how one is paid to do a job (doctor, nurse, or support) is more important than how one looks at the world.
Does Westjet get some advertising out of this? Yes. Do I care? No. This was great to see, and a real lift for a little boy who could use it. It was probably an equal lift for a mom and dad who felt powerless. And was already more likely to fly with them, this is just icing on the cake.
What C_Miner said.
I’m too emotional at this point to say anything else.
Thanks Lance
Heartwarming.
Couldn’t happen at Air Canada I suppose. Some union would demand that the West Jet customer service rep be attached to the Dad’s transit union or some other such anti human complaint.
Management at Air Canada would comply in the fear that this type of thing could catch on and cost them a nickel in the future.
Simply wow! I can appreciate that this goes beyond Lance and all those involved should be thanked. Lance a big thumbs up!
Life on this plane of consciousness can be cruel, but alternatively heartwarming and this story embodies both aspects.
Thanks Lance for the post!
J.
This was good. Thanks Lance.
This is why we fly WestJet, even if it is not always convenient.
Another great deed done unforced by a private company, and there are thousands more like them.
Great job Westjet! and thank you Lance.
Big Dopey Clown!
Who’s peeling onions in here?
Not to wreck the mood, but the juxtaposition to this would be almost any “pro-earth”, “pro-animal” or pro-socialism video that does nothing more than crap on your life and try to make you love it.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I cried all the way through this clip. Such a nice gift for a family. As a Mom and a Grandma, WAY TO GO WESTJET! Still the best at customer service.
I flyWestjet anyway but this is just icing on the cake.
I notice no comments by the trolls….not a lefty in sight.
However, I reserve the right to dislike(even hate) insurance companies/agencies…public or private.
Makes me proud to be a Westjet stock holder.
What I find heart warming is that West Jet doesn’t have to to things like this as their normal service already eclipses the competition. They are a business and not a charity. But they know the power of good advertisement and even more important , they know that word of mouth is the best advertisement. My favorite airline because they earned that.
Somehow my nose is stuffy. Thanks for this heart-warming video. We need to see more of this stuff than the constant evil thrown at us daily by those who have no souls left.
I had no objections to West Jet showing this.
Its time some people or corporations are shown in a good light instead of the Hollywood hate brigade against businessmen.
The vid was also postive of fathers which is like finding a gold nugget of truth, in a sewer of hate towards men by feminists.
So much more than just PR bs… WJ actually does walk the talk. I tell you I actually do seek out flights on westjet vs AC whenever I can and this is just one of many reasons. Their attitude is miles ahead of the big old s-rouged behemoth of failure that is AC.
Dang, it’s seems to be a mite dusty here or my allergies are acting up. The gang at Westjet are the real deal.
