Up yours Harper? He's the only one with any balls to stand up to the royal pricks in the UAE
Interestingly Stampee, your Man Harper has finally come clean as to his governments motivation regarding blocking EK and other UAE carriers more access into the Canadian market place...and clearly it has NOTHING to do with standing up to anyone, its protectionism/nationalism pure and simple. Feel free BTW to colour it anyway you like, but any reasonable person can deduce the true state of affairs.
As to new routes, ORD anyone? perhaps Buenos Aires? mayby MIA? (God forbid though as that place is a cluster F**k)
