Apparently AC doesn't want to serve Vancouverites with nonstop to Paris either. The best they could come up with was a flight that forces a stop in YUL.

Its no wonder the local press and tourism industry gang up on AC. On top of their ex-YVR cuts, they don't bother to participate in any of the local industry groups. So for the sake of being able to tell investors they've cut FTE's, they earn the enmity of those who could be supporting them. Bravo.
