I must say I`m glad someone at Transport Canada is saying " No " to EK ,and EY for the time being. This is the kind of responsible negotiating that is needed up against an opaque and utterly state funded enterprise which is both UAE Airlines..... For once someone in government is standing up to " Special interests " and saying piss off. Those posters here supporting EK and EY are doing this out of self interest. By this I mean all those Canadians at EK who want this to happen just so they can travel " home " for free , and say screw what happens in the Canadian economy. The idea of " free market " forces applying here is BS. We just found out the hard way what happens when " the Market " is allowed a free hand.( Especially when that market is based on an endless supply of state $$$ ...) Don`t piss on my leg and tell me it`s raining , said Judge Judy.
Well said Trader by the way.
