Years ago I had to check my cat as cargo and she was all alone in her cage in the cargo car of a Via Rail train from Montreal to Drummondville. So....no, sorry, no sympathy for this lady having to put a container in cargo. A CONTAINER!!!!

It's not even an Indigenous rights issue. If you hit turbulence, you don't want items flying around the cabin injuring passengers. That's it, that's all there is to it. There are no special exceptions to gravitational forces.

I think she just needed a little ego boosting attention, that's all.

A very enjoyable and entertaining article, Hymie. Tragically, this is a national embarrassment that correctly focuses attention on Air Canada's intentionally deficient and obviously racial policy of disrespect for indigenous sacred items. It is no small relieve that our (Wacko) PM had the foresight to prioritize his national obligations and commitments and immediately condemn Air Canada's malfeasance on this matter. Canada thanks you, Justine !!! As for that collage of eagle feathers on Chief Woodlouse's lap, where the hell was Green Peace when you needed them.

Remember when they just wanted "fairness" and inclusion? In every case that is just the thin edge of the wedge--they actually want power and elite status.

Thank you for writing this. Has it been submitted to CBC for publication as a guest opinion? (I do so wish that something like this article could get wide circulation.)

Justin Trudeau jumped on another bandwagon of no significant role in Canadian society to muster votes while 70 churches were burnt down or vandalized and deemed it a right to destroy without persecution! But this so-called sacred headdress is blasphemy against Air Canada! WTF.…..
