Again. This unique Canadian comparison. Try to think beyond the USA. The world is a big place. If you are going to compare Air Canada to only American airlines and forget about the rest of the world thats fine.


Its bizarre. When I lived in Winnipeg for 2 years I had a weird experience. Canadian people had this bizarre "superiority/inferiority" complex with the USA. Anything that could be compared to the USA was constantly talked about. If people had any opinion at all of America they figured it was their God given right to complain to me about anything American. Yet when a band like Bare Naked Ladies or Tragically Hip played in town it was "just a Canadian band". You could have any 4 idiots from Michigan show up and it was an event. At the time the Winnipeg Thunder played basketball in a league with teams from no name towns in North Dakota, place was packed. I'm talking 7-8000 fans. The league collapses so the Thunder join a Canadian league and get 200 fans to see Calgary or Montreal. I've never actually figured it out If a show was on tv and was Canadian, it was "just a Canadian show" if it was an American show, people watched it. (ok the Littlest Hobo was pretty crummy) but this constant response of covering up all of Air Canada's problems by comparing them to US airlines is selling yourself short.


Again, try to think about Cathay Pacific, try to think about Emirates, they hammer Air Canada hands down. This is the national airline. Lets compare against a little bit of a global standard here and quit making excuses for this joke of an airline
