Sorry to impugn the whole of Canada, but I have loved visiting the Great White North, and feel betrayed. Canadians are the great citizens of this world, far better behaved than us south of the border. It really hurt to see the shameless guys slither onto their aircraft. In the USA, if we were caught in a similar no-win situation, we would use the FAR's to our advantage, just like ABX did. When ABX walked away, the freight was unloaded and put right onto CargoJet. There are always strategies to do what is right.
