MONTREAL – Canada’s first future Ebola patient has been aimlessly walking around in the arrivals section of Montreal’s airport for the past 15 minutes in a search for the exit.
Harold Sidney, a machine exporter who spent four days in Liberia on business trip, has been aloof of the apparent exit signs ever since he handed his passport to a customs agent, which had been previously been holding in his mouth.
“Where’s the exit in this place?” asked a perspiring Sidney to a CBSA officer after he lied about his sore throat he’s had since his connecting flight from Paris.
After clearing customs, the man who will make international headlines in the coming days has accidentally walked into the Immigration Office, wandered down a hallway reserved for aircrew and tried repeatedly opening a one-way door.
“This is the stupidest airport design ever,” the businessman muttered to himself who failed to see the very obvious ‘Sortie/Exit’ signs as well as the first signs of his medical fate.
After being redirected by a helpful Air Canada employee, Sydney made sure to thank her with a firm, sweaty handshake.
At press time, Sidney’s eyes felt a little bloody as he was catching a cab for downtown Montreal.
