It’s not an ID document that people often see. It’s easy to get confused and in any uncertainty, it’s best to not allow the passenger in. Though they should be aware and it should be a part of their training.
If your job mostly revolves around checking people’s documentation and you fail to recognize government-issued ID (from the country in which you work, no less), you’re objectively shit at your job.
I don’t understand why you’re making excuses for the airline. I did a better job than this as a 19 year-old cashier selling lotto tickets.
The westjet employee didn’t read the expiry date at the top, 2029, and wouldn’t when they tried to show them again. It wasn’t uncertainty it was arrogance
Fun fact (for everyone that does not already know). When Christopher Columbus was attempting to reach the East Indies by sailing west, he instead landed in the Americas, which he mistakenly believed to be part of Asia. He then misidentified the native people as “Indians”.

I won’t argue with you there… You’re totally right.

Ahh OK. Yeah then they’re a dick.

Yes that’s why I wrote “Stupid Columbus.” It’s all his fault.
