FT is all about sharing experiences. Try it, you will enjoy it more than arguing.

ps With 89 posts to date you have a ways to go!
Thanks for your suggestions Antonio8069. No offense, but, did you take the time to go through the specific examples/experiences given in this thread on how the world works in other places?

I like to use real world examples to try to illustrate a point, and am sorry if that seems argumentative for you.

Believe me, if there were offers or airlines to save in Canada on flights, I'd be "shouting" it out like a true "activist".

We seem to have different definitions on what free enterprise is and can achieve? I disagree with the Canadian market not being attractive enough. And the fare wars of successful (low cost) airlines do not have depressing profits to them. I agree the establishment would bleed of course.
