OTTAWA (Reuters) - Obese people have the right to two seats for the price of one on flights within Canada, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled on Thursday. The high court declined to hear an appeal by Canadian airlines of a decision by the Canadian Transportation Agency that people who are "functionally disabled by obesity" deserve to have two seats for one fare. The airlines had lost an appeal at the Federal Court of Appeal in May and had sought to launch a fresh appeal at the Supreme Court. The court's decision not to hear a new appeal means the one-person-one-fare policy stands.

See Canada, this is why nobody respects you around North America, not even Mexico.  You want to give fat people 2 seats for the price of one, fine.  But do they get 2 meals?  Do they get to watch 2 movies?  How many overhead bins do they get to stuff all of their fat luggage in?  In other words, where do you draw the line?  People have a hard time understanding this concept, but it’s okay to tell someone “no, you can’t have this.”  They might be pissed temporarily, but they’ll find a way to get by.  Or they kill themselves. In America, it’s always been one person, one seat.  Except in the Boston City Council where it’s one person, one seat, one bribe, 6-9 months in the slammer.
