I figured out I don't want Alberta to separate. I want quebec to separate.. where should I donate money to help the cause?

You’ll still have to deal with the maritimes and Ontario, as @Buster has alluded to several times, our government isn’t designed to respect the needs of western provinces.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I actually have more disdain for Ontario than Quebec these days.
Quebecers are selfish. Ontarians are deluded.
One you can predict and work with, at least theoretically, the other is a lost cause.
Ontario is what’s wrong with Canada. The Mari times are irrelevant.

Maritimes still have too many votes, but the rest you are bang on. I understand Quebec’s position even if I don’t agree with them, I just don’t want to share a country with them. Ontario is absolutely the biggest problem for Alberta.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Without all the Quebec vote pandering, they would have to pay more attention to the other provinces. It's not ideal, but certainly better than our current situation.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
They can't, there's literally a federal law that says the AC HQ must be in Montreal. Ghosts of past QC vote-buying.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Mandatory provisions in articles of continuance
6 (1) The articles of continuance of the Corporation shall contain
(e) provisions specifying that the head office of the Corporation is to be situated in the Montreal Urban Community.
If Royal Dutch Shell can move their entire company to London I think Air Canada can find a way to move to an adjacent province.
What a joke of a company as per usual.

Potential employer: "Do you have a pulse and are able to converse in french?"
Me: "Oui Oui"
Potential Employer: "Thanks to those idiots and their laws, you're hired!"
Me: "Viva la revolution!"
But on a serious note, the laws are completely ridiculous and protesting a company like AC where the CEO doesn't speak french but he has AN ENTIRE FUCKING TEAM TO PANDER TO FRENCH CANADIANS is even more ridiculous.

Many, many AC employees have been fired for not being fully fluent in French (obviously not the reason on paper though). It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this guy got let go, and with an absolute unit of agolden parachuteparachute doré

This isn't complicated. If AC is less than half the price of WJ, I will use them. If they are one dollar more than half price, I will not fly with them.
This doesn't happen often and I'm pleased to report that I don't recall my last flight with them. I'm guessing it's been at least a decade.

Air Canada is not a private business in any meaningful sense.

"head office in montreal"
just a mailing address - forwards to toronto pearson where the "not head office" is located.
Worst case whoever the quebec manager is - can work out of it just so their secretary is on hand.
Huge PR win for AC today.
Used the government money to pay back non-refundable tickets, which they had no responsibility to do, so they end up looking like the good guy, since WJ still won’t issue refunds. Looks good for AC, with no out of pocket expense, and they are no longer accessing the federal funding.
Taxpayers funding their own refunds! What a country we live in.
