Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal or Toronto to Faro (FAO). Connections are crappy all round. Preference would be a non-stop from Vancouver, however more likely would be something out of Montreal or Toronto.
AirTransat does fly to FAO, however they don't count given the seats on their aircraft are sized for children and swim suit models.

Really? Faro? Too many retired Brits in the Algarve, surely? I would rather go to say, Setubal or Evora, or to the North, say OPO. Either way, I happen to speak the language, which makes life easy in Portugal. But alas, only for holidays.

YAM-YUL. They can make it a milk run via YSB & YYB and schedule it on a Cessna Caravan for all I care. Just give me some way to get the heck out of here when Pearson is snowed in yet again, or when the last YYZ-bound flight of the day decides to go mechanical on us.
Other than that, YHZ/YYT to any of CGN, DUS, FRA, in that order of preference. Could be nominally within the range of the A220, but if we're asking for the moon anyway I'll send AC's 7M8s to the desert and get them to buy the A321LR for this route instead.

Which needs ground and inside staff... more than a gas crew.
Picking through the aircraft for bags.
Taking an hour.
Missing the chance to gas-and-go on a moments notice to get to YYZ.
Further screwing over any other connecting PAX.
And further screwing over the use of the A/C that day.

About Montreal not even worth talking about it, but Quebec city surely should get more flights than Halifax, with double the population of Halifax and half the unemployment rate, the city is booming .. unlike Halifax

FAO is a very busy airport. The problem is they are all European discount airlines or tour operators. The number of flights that are operated by a network airline and have North American connections is limited.
