Tango Fare change fee increase to $60
Air Canada will raise the change fee for "Tango" Fare from $40 to $60, effective 07FEB08.
However, for Tango ticket issued before 07FEB08, you'll need to send email to Air Canada asking for $20 refund.
Same day airport change remains at $150.

It used to be $30 not so long ago. Is a live person fee added on top ? 
Why do they punish us? Why not hit the people who incur tangible costs for the airline:
Big announcement from United Airlines this morning: Domestic passengers will have to pony up $25 to check a second piece of luggage...It applies to customers purchasing nonrefundable domestic economy tickets who do not have either at least premier status in United's Mileage Plus programs, or silver status in a Star Alliance program.
...About 25 percent of its travelers check a second bag, according to United, and the airline believes its new surcharge will generate $100 million in revenue a year,

Again, obviously a move that is simply arrogant and likely against contract law with respect to previously purchased tickets. Who makes up this stuff? They must just have a department of "were not happy until you're not happy". If the fee was $40 in the contract you just cannot retroactively change it to $60 and force someone through a PAINFUL refund process
Actually, there even seems to be some progress here. Sounds like they figured out changing retroactively would violate their current contractual obligation.
So they came up with that crazy refunding scheme. I can't help but finding the whole thing downright hilarious.

However the first step is to get rid of Mayor Miller

Yes, Miller is leading the charge in the War on the Middle Class.
Let's review: he drove the city into near bankruptcy and then hit us with a new land transfer tax this year (adds ~$4000 to sale of a $400k house), cut progams for kids, refuses to fund the TTC (monthly pass just hiked another 10%, TTC considers closing the Shepard Subway and a dozen routes), refused to build a simple bridge to YTZ to aid the local economy; and, considers a toll for cars entering the city!
I did not vote for him.
OK this is slightly off topic from a Tango change free increase, but...
