In a brilliant stroke of enabling...the Canadian government has decided that obesity is a handicap and that fat people deserve two seats for the price of one.
As a former, frequent flier I dreaded a flight when I was crammed into a seat next to an overweight passenger, so in some ways I guess this is a good ruling for non-fat passengers. However, it is patently unfair to the airlines to have to provide an extra free seat. This increase in cost will just be passed on to the other passengers.
