If this doesn't meet the standard of vexatious litigant, I don't know what does.
The Federal Court has ordered Air Canada to pay $21,000 to an Ottawa couple for repeated violations of their French-language language rights, including seatbelts on which the instruction to "lift" the buckle was marked only in English.
This is only the latest chapter in a long-running public relations and legal feud between this couple and Air Canada. If you analyse the whole thing based on seat belt buckles that only say LIFT you're missing the point.
And of course... why is it so difficult for Air Canada to have bilingual flight attendants on every single flight either to or from Quebec? They have flight attendants who speak Dutch on every flight to Amsterdam, don't they?

I'm not saying it's in a vacuum, I'm just saying that I'm disappointed in the courts for even entertaining it. As to your FA point, I totally agree with you. Since when has Air Canada ever done the right/smart thing though?

As one of "those" anglos, it's things like this that annoy the crap out of me.
As one of the "Quebec trolls", they are absolutely right, well within their rights, and I once again applaud M. Thibodeau for standing up for his rights.
If Canadian government boasts about being bilingual and Air Canada is operated by the government, either become bilingual or lose the charade, and Quebec.
