    When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment.
    Your opinions are not my problem...

    westjet is a small Canadian airline

    it is a shame the big airlines do not do something similar.

    Yeah, I snuffled back a couple. Christmas Miracle indeed!

    That's the good response.

    The bad response - they sure made a piker of my Santa appearance at the Na Rive school.

    So I guess I get to be the pre-heart-enlargement Grinch ... yes it's a tear jerker... but has it set unsustainable expectations? The beginnings of a cargo cult?

    Has WestJet taken advantage of poor people in order to make a first-world-effective commercial? How much good could the amount spent on this commercial have done in the hands of Na Rive?

    I've was taught that any "look what I did" charity, usually serves the needs of the giver rather than the receiver.

    I wobble around about this ....
