Well, going to have to agree to disagree that Air Canada’s flight options for YSJ fit demand, when we used to have more flights available when the population was smaller and declining.
I don’t think the YYZ<->YSJ<->YYT route would be crazy at all, and think it’s pretty flippant for you to compare YSJ or YYT getting those routes to Halifax getting direct flights to Los Angeles and Tokyo lol…😅
As for subsides and the US having good flight connections to smaller centres, that’s got nothing to do with the current administration or recent tensions between our two countries, it’s been the case for decades now. Canada is a very large country with regional disparities and we could do a lot more to bridge the divide between and within regions by better funding routes to smaller centres.
At least we agree there’s a distinct need for better bus service across the maritimes. I wouldn’t mind flying out of Halifax if it was actually convenient and affordable…asking relatives or friends to drive 3.5 hours to Halifax is a bit much.
I’d much rather take a bus to Halifax for a transatlantic flight than connect via Toronto or Montreal with a multi hour layover.
