Air Canada is garbage, and Toronto Pearson is as well. My spouse flew into Toronto last summer with a school trip and they had to wait 11+ hours because the airport had a power surge that apparently took out their capability to charge the plane or some nonsense they told them. Numerous kids having to sleep on the floor and then they got split up across other flights when things finally got fixed.

An airport, that doesn’t have power surge protection and other contingencies in place for such events, when their sole job is to keep planes and passengers moving. Maddening.
