Labour dispute causes 90 Canadians to be stranded in Argentina

In The Toronto Star's website, an article just popped up about 90 Canadians being stranded in Argentina. Apparently there was a labour dispute that caused cancelled flights, creating riots, and that was what resulted in the situation. Here's the article, and here's my favourite little part:

After two weeks of vacation, Normand Robert and his wife had checked in their
bags Saturday evening when trouble erupted.

"There were only two
security guards, people were yelling, there were fights," Robert told Montreal
La Presse.

"It was incredible."

Why can't we all share Rob's attitude?

Anyway, good luck to my Canadian brethren who are stranded out there tonight. It must be scary and... well, just plain weird.

Ciao!
