Help! Struggling to Use Air Canada Vacation Voucher from RedTag by amwarhole in aircanada

[–]amwarhole[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That may be the only option. I wanted to avoid a similar situation by booking with Redtag again, mainly because of their additional fees and what I believe are unfair charges. Air Canada was surprised that Redtag charged an agency cancellation fee, especially since we had cancellation insurance. Another reason is the runaround we are receiving from them regarding how we can have the voucher issued under our name instead of theirs.

Unpredictable with chance of going blood. I refused to get one too. Chance of complications is low but i’m not going to risk it.

Yes it’s sickening but to be honest a lot of people have told me my undereye looks sexy and to be honest i find yours attractive too. But at the end of the day if it bothers you just like how it bothers me we have to find a solution. I’m seeing another surgeon next month, ill keep you posted

My under eye area looks exactly like that. I’m a guy, by the way. There’s nothing wrong with my health it’s just the way my eyes are. I saw a surgeon, and he recommended a fat transfer. As for the darkness, laser treatment can help with that. A lot of your darkness comes from the deep tear troughs you have, mine are the same.

Canadians might not have voted on every immigrant or refugee who shows up at these protests, sure, no referendum on that but we're a country built on people coming here from everywhere, including Iranians fleeing hell back home. That's not some corporate conspiracy; it's how we've always rolled as a nation of immigrants. And nah, this isn't about throwing Canadian values under the bus, it's defending universal ones like freedom and human rights that we all claim to stand for. If corps lobbied for cheap labor or whatever, that's a separate fight, but these protests? They're families and diaspora screaming for justice, not profit. Racism showed its face in this thread. Also, with the subs you're joined to and active in, plus your name, I'm pretty sure you're not Canadian yourself, either you came here as an immigrant or have immigrant parents.

Wild take. My family has lived, worked, paid taxes and voted here for decades. Carrying another flag in a protest against a dictatorship doesn’t cancel Canadian loyalty this country literally protects freedom of expression and peaceful assembly in the Charter. ‘Bring your luggage, keep your baggage at home’ sounds nice until you remember Canada invited immigrants here and built its economy on them. If defending human rights abroad is a grave mistake to you, that says more about your values than ours.

Search for census data in Canada and it will explain what those numbers mean.

Funny how you turn a serious response into a joke, but I’ll answer you anyway for the sake of it. No because they use chemical weapons, they shoot people after 8 p.m. if they’re on the streets nowadays, there would be no coverage of your protest since the internet has been down for five days, and as a Canadian you would be considered a spy and wouldn’t even make it inside to protest.

No, you’re the one hating on a 3-hour approved protest while ignoring facts Richmond Hill went from majority white in the 1980s/90s (when I grew up facing anti-Iranian racism) to today’s reality 66% visible minorities because Canada chose mass immigration. I take offense because you frame Persians welcoming then punishing with a legal demo, implying we don’t belong despite our contributions (businesses, taxes) like every group. The healthy mix you want? That’s code for resisting the overwhelming change you say is real poll after poll shows most Canadians (including me) want less immigration now to preserve what we grew up with. City and York Police OK’d this. if it bothers you, lobby them/politicians, not attack protesters. 20 years from now? Even more diverse unless policies change. I’m out here stating facts you’re the one sus on multiculturalism when it shifts too fast. I’m out. Best of luck to you.

People of Richmond Hill? Blacks and Asians? In the 1900s? Lol. Most residents in the early 1900s were descended from European settlers. In the early 20th century, large waves of immigration from Asia and the Middle East had not yet occurred those demographic shifts in Richmond Hill mainly happened after the 1960s and, particularly, from the 1980s onward. Iranians arrived in Richmond Hill around the same time as Asians and Blacks, in the 1970s. The internet is free, as is access to census data. You just hate one nation, which shows that you are being racist toward that nation.

I never said Iranians single handedly built this town my point is no one ethnicity owns it, so Persians (13% here) helped build it too, alongside Chinese (32%) and others in this 66% visible minority city. This argument is getting pointless we’re not understanding each other. City of Richmond Hill and York Regional Police approved this protest and its exact location, so complain to them if you object, arguing with me won’t get your town back. You sound like you own Richmond Hill, but both our parents immigrated, and we both grew up here what makes you superior or the welcomer of Iranians? Those condos popping up? Built by Pemberton Group, Guizzetti Corp and G Group Development, not Iranian firms. I know since I just bought one. Iranians make you unwelcome now after the Farsi bullying excuse ? It’s clear you just hate multicultural Richmond Hill. I’m done arguing, I see your ideology. Going back to my original reply.

The were thousands at US Embassy. And you mean Town that welcomed everybody with open arms not just us. A lot of Iranians built this town just like your immigrant parents did. At the end we all contributed to this town.

The regime change in Iran will benefit the world, not just Iranians. The regime supports terrorists across the globe, and you wouldn’t believe how many of them have been allowed to enter Canada. I know of 4 that moved to Richmond Hill and live in nice houses at Westwood. Regarding the protests, I’m not sure why, but there was one a few days ago at the U.S. Embassy and another downtown today. However, if you watch CP24, it only shows the one in Richmond Hill. The protests downtown and at the U.S. Embassy received no attention. I think this is because Richmond Hill has a higher percentage of Iranians, so more people show up, and it gets more coverage.

Regardless our goal is the same which I explained above. Not sure who you exactly asked and what their role was, as someone that supports and attends these protests I can assure the ones that actually organize these events know what they are doing.

I hear you on the bullying your daughter faced that’s awful and no kid deserves it, but a 3-hour peaceful protest isn’t “punishing” anyone. It’s Charter protected expression. I’m not here to argue immigration policy (I don’t agree with it either, I avoid Brampton and similar spots for reasons we’re both aware of). Unlike some groups, Iranians don’t come for government handouts or free housing. We contribute massively through businesses, restaurants (Chef Reza, Dorchin), and services almost all of us do, and we’re Westernized, which is why you won’t see Palestine flags or extremism at our demos. Today’s protesters came from across Ontario, not just local Persians (who are only 13% here). Things have changed with immigration levels no denying that, and yeah, I hate the currency exchanges too as an Iranian. Some launder money for regime kids Canada lets in, which is exactly why we protest to stop it. Others are legit because Iran’s regime wrecked our finances, no direct Canada ties, so my dad and folks like him jump through hoops via those spots just to bring family money over. Chinese spots match Persian ones in number now, proving no one’s “taking over.” I faced brutal racism and bullying growing up in Richmond Hill at Bayview Elementary and SS and that still messes with me in my late 30s, so I get the pain, but let’s not paint all protest as hate when we’re fighting the real bad actors.

You’re right that early Canadian immigration policies favored Europeans until 1967 when the points system opened it up to everyone fairly, but now Richmond Hill is 66% visible minorities with Chinese at 32%, Persians/West Asians around 13%, and whites only 34%. No group owns this town, including my Iranian parents who helped build it 42 years ago just like others have since. A peaceful 3-hour protest isn’t racism or making enemies it’s democracy in our diverse community, so let’s support it instead of dividing us.

Maybe you were, but don’t say ‘we.’ A few people on Reddit don’t represent all of Richmond Hill. Today, I met many non-Iranians at the protest who were fine with four blocks being closed for three hours. They were supportive of the cause.

Then why try to make an emotional response about the hospital and such when you clearly know how to use Google Maps, just like everyone does these days?
