That's because it's just one guy's take. GDP has gone down for everyone:


While it's true that US isn't as bad as Canada, they have been impacted quite significantly.

Nice find.

The travel industry needs rapid testing, not cash.

Lift the 14 day quarantine and people will travel. Get rid of the maritime bubble with rapid testing, WS and AC will fly there again.

My kids have a week off in November. Hawaii is open. I would fly to Hawaii for a week and even transit through the US to take an approved test in order to enjoy the beach for a week. The only reason I am not going is because my kids will have Quarantine for 14 days and basically miss 2 weeks of school because we don't have rapid testing. 2 weeks off of school isn't acceptable to me.

I work from home, so 2 weeks doing the same thing I am doing now doesn't make a difference.

Along the same lines if we didn't have the 14 day quarantine upon our return we'd be South over Christmas.

CEWS and workshare programs are basically “targeted” at any and all industries that require assistance to keep people employed. Hell, they even rewarded work share to a water park Corp....

government bureaucracies are ideally suited to managing the complexities of an entire economy.

Air Canada and Westjet can go tits up. Let Canadian North and Flair have the spotlight lol

Airlines should be exposed to market conditions, just like every other entity that benefits from capitalism.

Bring back Time Air!

Wardair for the win.

I am not committed one way or the other about this issue, but in my mind I think if the government is going to enforce specific restrictions that cause market issues, there is some responsibility, but if the market issues come organically than it is another issue. Kind of like saying some companies (like liquor stores) were essential and could stay open, but restaurants no... That is a weird mindset IMHO.

Bring back Canada 3000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First ever plane I was on was a Canada 3000 A-330 I think. Maybe the 757. This was 20 years ago.

When Canada 3000 went tits-up I had to rebook my flight onto british airways at considerable extra cost. But it was a great trip, so I dunno, kinda conflicted.

No Canadian fans? Pops use to have super duper status with them (like, top 5 miles of all customers one year) ...was always a good experience. But barely being a teen when they went under I’m sure all that took was a free cookie or 5 in the lounge

This would make me smile. I still have an old wardair 747 toy from when I was a kid somewhere.

Wonder if you were booked to fly on the Canada 3000 A340-300 in their fleet. They had one in their fleet. Would have been so cool!

I am not a plane nerd, so no idea. I do enjoy special liveries tho.

Jetsgo. Nothing like flying in clapped-out MD-83s on a 5 hour flight from Vancouver to Toronto at 20,000ft.

Ah I see. Trying to think back to my first flight and I'm pretty sure it was a 757. I got to go into the cockpit mid flight and visit with the pilots. Damn that was amazing. That was the one and only flight I was ever on prior to 9-11.

lol, forgot all about Jetsgo. From their wiki

On 20 January 2005 a Jetsgo McDonnell Douglas MD-83 landing in poor weather and low visibility at Calgary International Airport, in Calgary, Alberta, veered left off runway 34 and hit a runway hold-short sign, damaging landing gear and flaps. The plane then declared a missed approach, took off and landed again. There were no casualties.

haha, went off the runway, damaged the plane but took off and landed again. holy hell.

Fucking love liveries and onions.
