WestJet is taking tough new measures beginning next week against passengers who refuse to comply with federal masking rules on flights. The airline says it will go as far as booting passengers off flights who consistently refuse to wear a mask or face covering while on board. Transport Canada requires everyone over the age of two wear a mask on board all flights. WestJet says it hopes to avoid the extreme measures of ejecting non-compliant passengers seen with increasingly regularity on U.S. carriers. WestJet passengers in masks queue to check-in at Calgary International Airport.
