What Routes do you wish AC flew?
Taking inspiration from other FT forums, I thought it'd be a fun thread for people to post routes that they would like to see AC operate, no matter how ridiculous or unfeasible. Re-launching historical routes also counts. Bonus points for suggested aircraft types!
I'll start with YVR-YHZ and YXY-YYZ, both on the A220. YYJ-LHR on a 788 would also be pretty convenient.

YVR-MSP
YVR-BWI/DCA/IAD (in order of preference but they would all be life changing for me!)
I have a lot of dreams for particular EU airports but they will never happen. The above routes strike me as at least a remote possibility.

YYC-YYT. WS manages to run this as a summer service (and did twice daily some summers), so this is a major gap in AC's schedule. Should be feasible to fill with leisure traffic in the summer, and oil company traffic and commuters the rest of the year.

Wouldn't a domestic route in a foreign country be considered cabotage, though?
Do AC TPAC routes turn around a few hours after they arrive? If not, I'd like to see a YVR-HKG+SGN fifth freedom route. :P
edit: any downsides to long haul fifth freedom routes?

A YEG-YYC-YYT direct flight (same flight number, YEG pax stay onboard in YYC) would kill 2 birds with one stone.
