That's what I don't get about some people's views on this thread. You can't have your own cake and eat it too.
no of course you can

2) Would all foreign airline adjust their aircraft flying into Canada or just decide not to fly into Canada at all?
3) What would be the price increase on air fares? Will people still travel as much with higher prices?
4) Would these pax wanting larger seats now drive to US to fly because the flights are a lot cheaper with the smaller seats? (cheap seats are king over comfort)
2) guess what foreign airlines will do for an overpriced country with a population entirely as close to one major metro
3) no, they'd advocate for government to give everyone a travel subsidy
4) yes because consumers only want government intervention as long as there's no consequence for them
