I was simply responding to your post that suggested Canadians are “happy” to keep going back to AC so why would they change, which for this Canadian and many people he knows is not true would certainly welcome a choice. You spent time blaming Canadians for not choosing the competition, then state well there is no competition of course. So which is it?
