Toronto Pearson Airport Cancellations 12-22-13, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2013

I offered to briefly describe my ordeal in Toronto earlier, but I'm so sick of talking about it that I'm not going to get into much detail here. Basically, as you can see, the vast majority of cancellations during the December 2013 ice storm were Air Canada flights (note that Jazz is an Air Canada brand, and that Air Georgia is an Air Canada contractor). The ice storm brought down trees around Ontario (if you haven't seen an ice storm, the ice attaches to trees and powerlines, and the weight brings them down), and the roads were dangerous for the first night. The airport continued to operate quite smoothly given everything....if you weren't an Air Canada passenger. Not only did Air Canada fail to fly many of their flights, opting for cancellations rather than delays, but no replacements were offered, at least to me, whether air, rail, or bus. We were able to get a free hotel the first night (the 21st-22nd), but the second night was another story.
