— A love-struck Michigan man has convinced Air Canada to give him free tickets to visit his Newfoundland girlfriend — if he can manage to make his campaign go viral. So Poirier took to Twitter, asking Air Canada how many retweets it would take for free roundtrip tickets. Air Canada responded Tuesday by asking what the population of Newfoundland was — and said it would take that many. The 19-year-old barista said he didn’t expect a response from Air Canada, but it’s made him and Warren optimistic that the dream trip could finally happen. Canadian comedian Colin Mochrie shared Poirier’s tweet on Wednesday, writing “Help true love….”Isabelle Arthur of Air Canada wrote in an e-mailed statement that the company reacted to Poirier’s authenticity.
