No wonder EDI got AC Rouge
They got the route because half of Canada's population believes it's Scottish - the other half thinks it's American!!!

As regards route development funds, this is a tangible benefit of federalism, a word much derided by the Daily Mail!! The Scottish Government quite rightly wants to attract passengers to it's capital city and is doing something about it.

Shame the rest of the UK isn't run on a more federal basis, we might be a bit more balanced, as is Germany - rather than tilted heavily in favour of the southeast and London.
