Sure it's the tourist's fault for going when the warnings were there. However if he or she is already there, the holiday company can't just say "fahgedaboudid", cancel flights from there and not reschedule ones to get them back. Ottawa shouldn't have to send flights or anything like that but should ensure the holiday companies follow some sort of guidlines about abandoning people ... whether those guidlines exist already or not.



I think you missed what I said.
That the gov't shouldn't be responsible to get them back.
Sure the tour operators are. Heck they had to get me home when Canada 3000 folded while I was away.

If all the flights are full coming back how do you get them back?
You need to send more flights. However with a Huricane coming, not to many pilots/airlines are going to want to fly there until afterwards.

The reason I posted the Sunquest part was to show how they are saying this is it. You miss it your really on your own.
Now without power and if your in a remote secure place how do you find out.......
It's not like Sunquest is on every street corner in Mexico.
