WestJet announces very Canadian rebrand as 'Canada Air'... maybe?
Canada’s getting a brand new airline — and it’s the #MostCanadian one yet.
Around 5 am on March 31, 2017, WestJet’s Twitter account told almost 15,000 followers:
Effective immediately, we are now Canada Air. Learn more about how we’re rebranding as the #MostCanadian airline – https://t.co/LLclRMqvDS pic.twitter.com/d1VVcELzoZ

The airline’s corporate Twitter account, while using the handle @WestJet, also changed it’s name to Canada Air. A subsequent tweet at 9 am reiterated:
Our #MostCanadian chapter ever begins today. We are sorry we didn’t do it sooner. pic.twitter.com/Zf836rYLaM

WestJet wins April Fool’s Day, pranking everyone a day early. Remember: everything on the internet Saturday is a lie.
