Visitors to these islands knew about Irma, the strength of Irma, and the strong encouragement to leave 5 or more days in advance of the storm. Why should they wait it out, and then expect the Canadian government to run in and rescue them because of their own stubbornness? 

People need to listen to those in the know, and not cry when they foolishly ignore the guidance.  The Canadian government, through the airlines, did the right thing with the right priority in bringing in the planes to bring home the Canadians.
