The union that represents the cabin crew of a WestJet flight that Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre recently used as his political platform says the company is blaming them for the stunt.
On Sunday evening, passengers on board a flight to Calgary were given a speech by the party leader, who used the plane's in-flight public address system to speak to them for under a minute.
WestJet said in a statement following the incident that while the flight was open to the public, it was specially scheduled to accommodate delegates who had attended the Conservative Party of Canada's convention in Quebec City. However, CUPE Alberta, the organization that represents those workers, says the crew on board that flight "had no input" into Poilievre's use of the PA system for his speech.
