Unclaimed bags, long security lines and flight delays snarling Canada’s largest airport

This is an article I wrote while working for Capital Current during the summer between my third and fourth year at Carleton University. Canadians are travelling in large numbers for the first time since COVID-19 closed the skies more than two years ago. But those eager passengers are confronting snarled airports across the country. Nowhere is more congested than Canada’s largest, the understaffed Toronto Pearson Airport where unclaimed luggage is piling up and, on some days, half of all flights are delayed. No wonder, travellers’ anger is growing.
