Like everyone else here I have flown on lots of fly by wire aircraft and we have built up enough confidence to accept them as an every day low risk means of transport. However this accident, if we take the RCAF statement at face value, appears to be the very scenario that we all worried about when FBW was first installed. According to the statement the aircraft did not respond as expected to the pilot's control input and the RCAF bland assurances about resumption of operations seem disingenuous at best.
