Well now we know they are really dumb at GCAA level and foreign affairs.
Indeed, lets hope the Canadians now start restricting their airspace...
To anyone not familiar with things over here, it really IS like kindergarden here...never seen this kind of incompetence at government level...
Next round please...

Have you checked how long the list of countries is whose citizens are expected to get visas before visiting or even transiting Canada.
Whats good for the Goose....

380, ya you're right, the list should be longer. Lets start with all the S__t countries that we allow in that don't reciprocate. 'Oh i wish i had a Pakistani passport, i would be sooo happy!!!'
India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, UAE etc, etc. I never hear anyone saying, "oh I wish India would allow me and my family to immigrate there, we would have a much better standard of living as compared to Montreal."
Canada does NOT need the UAE or SAUDI, it is THE biggest gas supplier to the US.
So lets start with denying Emirates and Etihad overflying rights. Then we can stop all the military training that the US and Canada give. Stop supplying military equipment, planes, missiles, ammunition, you get my point. Who needs who more?

Absolutely righ togalk
This is ridiculous, I will continue listing as well. Canada Should stop giving citizenships for UAE . But Everyone should know the real meaning of UAE,
It is actually UAIP and the E soon will be replaced by India and Pakistan

Usually countries require visas for people who want to 'run away' to their country. Come on, who in Canada wants to 'run away' to the UAE.
The politics is benefitting no one.
RIDICULOUS!
Or are you just winding us up.......

I can't see why the UAE wasn't granted extra landing Rights in Canada. They are all for Free Market when it works in their favor!!! The way the situation is playing out is a bit childish but i say good on them.

This is simply a NON-starter.
First of all, the UAE are simply going back to the way it was not so long ago, by requiring Canadians to have visas.
No big deal.
The Canadian Military have already vacated Camp Mirage, as requested.
The Canadian Military will vacate Afghanistan next summer, as intended.
The eviction will cost Canadians millions over the next few months.
We get it, they're not happy EKs didn't get what they wanted.
This UAE response will do nothing for EK or EY.
This is simply immature behavior from a 'mouse that roared' and we don't need a bunch of donut eaters or focus groups telling us how to react. Most Canadians already know how EK and EY should be dealt with despite the fact that our Government hasn't got the motivation yet, to do it.
Canada will do nothing because unlike the UAE, THIS is a real country with global responsibilities, with a real history and a real economy. This hissy fit by the UAE is not going to advance EKs or EYs cause or likely to change a thing.
What a farce.

best thing our Conservative government did, was to pull out of the sandpit. what I would love them to do, is close our airspace to their monkey airlines. as for the visa thing......yeh right......oooo ! that's gonna hurt.... there are so many canadians( read sarcasm) that want to spend their hard earned dollars in the sandpit paradise of UAE. To hell that place !
....the only ones that would really cry, are all those useless
that immigrated to Canada, got a citizenship, went back to work in UAE because they love being treated like dirt. those would be the first to say : " how come ? I shooouuld not need a visa, I haave a Canadian Paaassssport !
now, all you bleeding leftists, go ahead and flame me.
I am wondering how long before my posting gets removed ??

UAE introduce this requirement to piss of you guys and it looks like it worked. Hook line and sinker gentlemen. They are having the last laugh. It's only a visa for gods sake not a ban. Never heard anyone complain about the ban on going to Libya. Oh that's right you don't want to go/work there do you.

compare the duty times between AC and EK, then lets see who is the monkey airline, I rather fly with well rested pilots than with overworked zombies like myself.
EK is shiny but as they say "you can get a girl out of the trailer park but you can never get the trailer park out of a girl"
bubbles, ricky and julian
