This crash is a repeat of SO many both in the park and other unpopulated parts of the Canadian Shield, if these folks train for night ratings over Southern Ontario with all its visual clues and lights, then a few miles North of our "population belt" they are confronted with total darkness, as it is over the bush, their training is just not up to it, and this is in clear weather, they have no chance of making it out alive if you toss in low ceilings, rain ,ice and all the other stuff prevelent at this time of the year. training to "follow the Magenta Line" is not whats needed in these parts, I dread to think what it was like in that aircraft on the way down, well done to the Air Canada crew and all the others who did their best to help.
