The bigger issue for me in this case was YVR incompetence. Yes, sometimes there are winter storms in Vancouver. Some years there aren't, but it's far from unprecedented. To be completely unable to handle any significant snowfall, and screw up air travel for half the country, is simply not acceptable. Any other airport in the country could have handled that storm with minimal disruption to travel schedules.

What lessons will have been learned? What will they do differently? I doubt anything.
