Keep trying.
High season starts with the March Spring breaks.
Early season fares are one thing and then check closer in once people have started to firm up winter vacation plans.
No one on the Prairies is making any plan for the Winter right now. Agriculture is still number one in Alberta and Saskatchewan and the dry conditions have people more worried because of that than the price of oil.

January and February in Canada is not high season for people to want to escape winter?
Everybody I know who goes to warmer climates for winter leaves right after Christmas and is coming home around March. Nobody sticks around Edmonton in January and Feb only to spend April in Hawaii.

So if a route switches to Rouge and price stays the same, people complain that the route has been rouged and AC is ripping them off by providing less for same price.
AND if a route switches to Rouge and price drops, people complain the price is low because Rouge is sooo bad and no one would take them... except AC on the whole has been seeing record load factors in the past two years, and Rouge has been expanding aggressively, allowing AC to open new routes and be more competitive against the likes of Air Transat and Sun Wing.
I get it that Rouge isn't for everyone, if it's not for you, then don't fly it but do we need so many threads with the same talking points over and over again?
