Down side is: Airlines will likely use high-density / lower premium cabin aircraft to Canada (as AF & LH did/do) to reduce premium capacity and maximize Y & PY revenue.
Canada's never been much of a premium market which is why premium cabin fares have usually been cheaper vs. the U.S. (not always but generally). Kind of surprised the high-density a/c are not sent this way but then even the rear cabins won't be filled up.
