Primeau tends to be very naive in her comments about most things. She does a lot of talking but not much thinking. Very flippant and incorrect comments.

Central Mountain Air has also been operating from YEG to most of the same places that Peace Air served, so it will not be hardship on any of these communities. Likely CMA or another airline operating from YEG may provide backfill. The good news is: ding dong the witch is dead. Now lets get on and close the Muni - and get on and build YEG and Port Alberta at YEG.
High Level and Rainbow Lake are served by CMA, Peace River is not. They are now left with no scheduled air service which is a shame, especially with the long awaited Shell oilsands expansion (hopefully) going ahead - finally.

I remember when Canadian Regional ran Dash 8's 3 times a day to Edmonton. Now there is nothing. Hopefully CMA will move in again to pick up the slack.

Primeau is fat, dumb and ugly. She is a worthless piece of humanity and I hope her own gravitational pull collapses her grotesque mass into a black whole and she disappears.

She is a moron i agree. I believe she irked a lot of Alberta listeners and her show was moved to the evening. She bleeds Liberal red which may be another factor. I'd pay to see Rutherford kick her ass slowly in a UFC ring.

Rutherford is equally retarded. However in Alberta his ultra right wing conservative bullshit goes over like icing on a cake, where as primeaus lefty hippie dippie verbal diarhea goes over like...well it doesn't.

I wrote a response and copied a rep from the International Airport. It listed all the new transborder flights and frequencies, plus new International service. Hopefully I get a response.

Well if anyone listens today let me know if she says anything. I asked her not to be a Debbie Downer on Edmonton all the time, and tell the true stats on the radio ( I sent here a brief ) clip from the Annual report summarizing growth.
