The benefit of having a reasonably good aviation industry in Canada is the fact that this country produces some of the finest pilots in the world and operators worldwide have had the benefit of their expertise.
Care to back that claim up with some factual proof?
Last time I looked Canada had very low standards to become a pilot compared to for instance Europe.
Or do you mean Canada has a large pool of pilots who work in the bush flying industry and those who survive self training are good pilots?
