Cancun-bound Quebecois social media "influencers" throw a maskless party, vape and drink aboard flight

Is Canada really even necessary?

I can't think of a better punishment for these twunts than a Cancun-Montreal bus trip.

Preferably one across the ocean R2

Leave them there. Let god sort it out.

They recklessly endangered the lives of everybody on board. It'll be thrown out of court on the grounds of some woke loophole that hasn't been thought of yet. Meanwhile, the sane who respect the law are thrown under the bus.

Google maps says 61 hours direct drive by car.

Buses would add quite a bit more time.

And you meet such interesting people on a Mexican bus.

Canada? Zero consequences. They're very soft on crime.

Bad influencers!

Is it so very wrong of me to hope that they all get severe covid and die quickly?

R9 or blown to shreds by the drug cartel?

R10: ¿Por qué no los dos?

Worse than the Russian junior hockey team!

Sunwing? That airline is only step above that uber-trashy Greyhound bus ride you've only seen in movies. I doubt any actual "influencer" would advertise how broke they really are by letting their followers know they fly Sunwing.

Update: at least 30 of them have Covid. And no airline is willing to transport them home! AND they face fines up of to $750,000 and 6 months in jail!

Three airlines refuse to carry 'idiot' Quebecers who partied on way to Cancun Sunwing, Air Transat and Air Canada have said that for safety reasons, they will not bring home the “disruptive passengers” from the flight.

Passengers who filmed themselves partying maskless aboard a chartered Sunwing Airlines flight from Montreal to Mexico last week have become pariahs and now face being stranded after two more airlines announced Wednesday they will not fly them home to Canada.

Following Sunwing’s cancellation of the return charter flight from Cancun scheduled for Wednesday, Air Transat and Air Canada both said they will refuse to carry the passengers, who were called “idiots” Wednesday by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Air Transat said on Twitter the “disruptive passengers” from the Sunwing flight had been trying to return home on its flights, but they were denied boarding based on the company’s obligation to ensure passenger and crew safety.

Air Canada issued a statement saying that “to the extent that we can identify the passengers who were part of the group, Air Canada is denying boarding to ensure the safety of other passengers and its crew.”

Among those looking for a way home is Rebecca St-Pierre, a 19-year-old student from Trois-Rivières, who said she feels abandoned, not knowing how she’ll pay for her hotel room as her stay is extended indefinitely. She said she tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday and is now in isolation in Tulum, south of Cancun. She estimated that about 30 others on the flight have tested positive.

“The organizer just left everybody. I don’t know who’s still here. All the flights have been cancelled,” an emotional St-Pierre told the Canadian Press.

St-Pierre said she won the free trip in a contest on Instagram and had never previously heard of the organizer, who identifies himself on social media as James William Awad. “I was expecting a relaxing week, where I was going to be careful,” she said. “But this turns out to be an expensive trip for something that was supposed to be free.”

Videos of the Dec. 30 flight shared on social media show passengers not wearing masks as they gather in close proximity, singing and dancing in the aisle and on seats. In one video, a large bottle of vodka appears to be passed among passengers, and later a woman appears to be smoking an electronic cigarette.

St-Pierre acknowledged that the videos give an accurate picture of what went on during the five-hour flight to Cancun.

“There was no social distancing … I think people were doing drugs,” St-Pierre said. She said that ahead of the scheduled return trip, some people were putting Vaseline up their noses in an attempt to thwart COVID-19 testing.

Federal Transport Minister Omar Alghabra, Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos and Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino issued a joint statement late Tuesday saying they had directed their departments to investigate .

The statement said passengers who violated Transport Department regulations could face fines of up to $5,000 per offence. It also warned that anyone giving false information to a Canadian government official could face fines of up to $750,000, six months in jail or both.

An aviation expert said he hopes the Transport Department investigation will shed light on why the pilot didn’t request an emergency landing after the crew lost control of the passengers.

“We live in a world where pseudo-influencers think they are above everything, but a plane 30,000 feet above the ground can be extremely dangerous,” said Mehran Ebrahimi, who heads an aerospace industry research unit at the Université du Québec a Montréal.

“Imagine if people decided, for fun, to play with the door? A plane is not a cottage you rent where you can do everything you want.”

Cont’d:

Awad wrote on Twitter Wednesday that a “simple party” on a plane was behind the controversy. “I will take a moment to sit down and rethink everything,” he said. “Especially how I can do things better next time.”

Awad, who operates 111 Private Club, organized the trip including a group of social media “influencers” and reality TV stars, such as Karl Sabourin from the popular Quebec show Occupation Double, and Sandrine Seguin and Anna-Maelle Laprise, who both appeared on L’île de l’amour.

Trudeau called the passengers’ conduct irresponsible and a “slap in the face” to everyone who has been following public health restrictions. In French, he referred to the passengers as “idiots” and “barbarians.”

“Like all Canadians who’ve seen the videos, I’m extremely frustrated,” Trudeau told a news conference in Ottawa.

Influencers - I'm so fucking tired of this term. Fucking narcissistic assholes dying for attention and likes.

Time to kill social media - it really hasn't lived up to its promises.

about 3o have tested positive and they're almost all stranded.

ROAD TRIP! ROAD TRIP! ROAD TRIP!

[quote] But there was a sticking point, Awad said: he insisted that a meal be served, and the airline didn't want to provide food. "I assured them every measure would be followed, but we couldn't conclude an agreement because Sunwing refused to provide meals to the group for a five-hour flight," he wrote. Sunwing told CTV News that “unfortunately, the group did not accept all of the terms" and that "as a result... we have made the decision to cancel the return flight.”

So they are stranded because they demanded a meal. They couldn’t just go with not eating for 5 hours? Now they are stranded indefinitely because of that stupid sticking point. I wonder if they think it was worth it.

I imagine there's a lot I'm a victim in the way those kind think.

Turning this into a screenplay as I type

The Organizer. A "rapper"......

I don't say this lightly but I hope they all die.

Some of them are already coughing and testing positive!!....Hilarious!!.......

The organizer is super hot.

No he's not. He's South Asian trash.

It was a charter flight. They didn't "endanger" strangers. Everyone has covid now. Ski resorts are dense with this behavior. Madonna and Rocco attended a 300 person New Years party hosted by Russian oligarch in Gstaad. If you think party people aren't partying in private all the time, I've got covid-free limestone, granite and steel bridge to sell you.

Cuntcun.

[quote] Canada? Zero consequences. They're very soft on crime.

They let murders walk all the time. It’s a place you WANT to commit a crime.

[quote] It was a charter flight. They didn't "endanger" strangers.

That would only be true if they immediately isolated afterward and didn't bring their diseased asses to Mexico.

Meh. The world's resorts do not want lockdowns and stick restrictions. Switzerland was ready to put in strict restrictions for this winter's ski season, like they had last year. At the last minute, they cancelled any real restraints on foreign tourists. EVERYONE WANTS THE MONEY. EVERYONE.

*strict

It was a charter flight. They didn't "endanger" strangers.

Can you say cockpit/cabin crew?

oh well, if EVERYONE's getting it, I guess I should, too!

R5, the problem is that it was a chartered flight so they're all cunts!

R18, I read that yesterday. Remember Awad is trying to cover his ass. He is trying to make Sunwing the bad guys. I am thinking there are many terms they could not reach.

Awad comes across as on the spectrum.

The party's over...

See? We're not the only moronic cunts!

[quote]No he's not. He's South Asian trash.

Hey asshole, the man is 100% Canadian, a Christian born in Montreal. But then, your obvious bigotry prevented you from actually knowing the facts.

R37 The real estate agent who got fired, Karl Bernard, is kind of hot. I guess he can set up an OnlyFans now.

I love how in French they’re referred to as “ fêtards” (partiers), which to an English speaker looks like a French-English mash-up of fête (party) and retard.

Wow, Karl Bernard is hot. He should definitely set up an OF account. Hell, he might as well join the Quebec mafia currently infesting gay porn.

Oh wow, he’s too hot to be fired. Anyone know what he did? He’s not in the videos.

Karl Bernard is hot but he looks a bit mature for this crowd of Gen Z fetards.

Entitled young people act stupid on social media and win stupid prizes. Quel surprise.

That video looks like the scene from one of those old Biblical movies - like what Moses saw when he came down from the mountain in "The Ten Commandments".

And that group in the video also all look really, really stupid.

^^ Because they are, Blanche! They are!

Are they all home now? Or have they begun new lives in Cancun?

#1 commandment for Influencers:

Look really, really stupid!
