Inter-Canadien operating with a CP flight number - please guess again!
jlemon's thinly veiled hint reminded me that an F28 had crashed at Dryden Ontario in the 1988-89 time frame ... a little research revealed it was operated by Air Ontario

so I will guess that the third jet operator at YVO in Dec 1989 was indeed Air Ontario with a Fokker F28
