50 protestors, hardly any support. Given the politics of Premier Wynne, this may get stopped by the province. Just my .02

Bombardier announced at Paris runway performance for the CSeries was better than predicted.
I have no doubt...Porter will do exceptionally well with the CSeries. If they get to run it off the island I imagine other "jet" operators will need the C to effectively compete. No Boeing or Airbus can meet the strict noise criteria facing YTZ, never mind field length. Potential sales for BBD?
We'll C.
I'm guessing this though, depending on Porter's configuration + options, unlike the C series, Q400s won't be doing YTZ-LAX or YTZ-LCY any time soon.
Those in power at Toronto City Hall and the Ontario Legislature better not blow this shot at fame (unless Film Festivals and the Maple Leafs make you famous enough).
Flight crews are going to love flying this aeroplane!!!
