I've flown Rouge a few times and not hated it. But tonight was different.
AC1795 YQB-YYZ scheduled to depart at 4pm is delayed to 4:50 by the time I arrive at YQB. No big deal. I head to the lounge and keep track on flightaware. I notice a 767 is coming as opposed to the A321 for every other day. I figure this is due to the morning YQB-YYZ cancellation. No surprise, that 4:50 gets bumped again. I text a family member upon boarding at 5:29. And then the waiting begins.
Eventually the captain delivers the delay reason. It turns out that YQB can't offload certain cargo from a 767. So everyone on the ground is trying to figure out how to do it. It takes a while. We push back at 7:08. At YYZ, a couple agents are sorting out missed connections. There's a table of new boarding passes ready. Good! But it seemed like more than half of the passengers didn't have new arrangements and were being pushed to the general customer service desk by D20. What a mess.

My wife had the flat bread pizza a few years ago and vomited all over the floor in the back galley. (ACr didn't have sick bags then). I'm going to ask her if she wants to give this a try next time.

Just can't do Rouge in the back and only in the front when there is no choice 
I thought Covid-19 took care of Rouge, I was wrong !

Why would they even bother restarting Rouge flights? They should shut it down.

The Rouge fleet numbered more than 60 aircraft before the pandemic. Air Canada’s latest fleet allocation shows that Rouge has 34 aircraft dedicated to it—all Airbus A320-family narrowbodies. Retirements included all 25 Boeing 767-300ER widebodies that Rouge had, which allowed Air Canada to tap into some European leisure markets.
