Single child's refusal to buckle up cancels Porter flight

A young child refused to sit and buckle up on a Porter flight to Toronto. Crew and parent tried to secure them but failed. The delay forced the plane past the airport's 12:30am closure.

Why it mattersSafety rules require all passengers to be seated and buckled before takeoff. One child's refusal to follow the rules can therefore stop the entire plane from leaving.
