NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is calling on the Liberal government to find ways to make the airline industry more competitive

New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh says the holiday travel woes that left thousands of passengers stranded at airports or struggling to find flights home show why there should be more competition in Canada’s airspace.

The Canadian Transportation Agency requires domestic air service operators to be majority-owned and controlled by Canadians, limiting options for travellers – especially in rural or remote areas. Air Canada is discontinuing flights from Saskatoon and Regina to Calgary this month, after it discontinued flights from Yellowknife to Edmonton last year.

The federal government needs to stop their fascist ways

The best thing coming from NDP, OMG!!!

That is also ridiculous.

No its not competition thats required its stop subsidizing Air Canada!

Open it to foreign competitors. I'd rather pay a fair rate to a foreign airline then get price gouged by a Canadian one

Or a government that focuses on running it agencies properly instead of raping its society of tax dollars and taking away its freedoms which YOU continue to support! Amazing Globe how you continue to support this socialist tool!

Day to day mess shows why Government needs competition

NOISE 🤣

Needs DEREGULATION prices would drop 80%

1.Scrap the CDN Equity requirement 2. Privatize the airports 3. Allow foreign airlines to fly CDN-CDN routes. The fact that no Liberal, NDP or Con Gov is willing to do this f*cks us all and provides excess $ to AC & WJ (CEO of parent Onex is worth $1.5B FYI)

'NDP leader accidentally discovers capitalism' Please take this to its logical conclusion, recognize that the administration you are keeping in power is an inherent failure, and let this government fall.

Wouldn't that be...... Capitalism?

MickeyDjuric I know his job is to prod government to take action but I wonder what solution he might come up with. theJagmeetSingh If you are going to be PM you need to have answers.

Competition! Wow, never thought I'd hear that from the NDP. Maybe he's coming around. I figured he'd be more into state owned Airlines.

So, bad weather tailored to each airline, more bad weather for each additional competitor? More luggage belts for each airline? ........?

You Turd loving state news have all the same headline eh . What , you all gather round little Hitler and he tells ya what to say eh.

What about the airports Jagmeet? Especially Pearson. They are under Federal control. Under the control of the Liberal Government that you support wholeheartedly… You are part of the problem…

Yup!

As long as the competition is unionized, got it!

Jagmeet, find a way do something, anything...or did you just sell your party for a few paid days off and scab proofing unions? What a clown.

And food industry. Time to fight the big companies.

Notice The Jag never attacks the Profits AirCanada makes? Or, the huge Bonuses top Execs got with the Bailout Cerb!

Zero credibility Singh - absolutely zero. All Canada sees is a Liberal with an NDP hat.

Halarious!!! A socialist championing competition in a free market. Careful Jagmeet, your conservatism is showing! Lmao!!

We can start by moving the Christmas holidays to the summer.

Who is he? What has he done?

Ya no shit Jagmeet.

So stop voting with the liberals on tax increases so CANADA becomes more competitive for companies to compete with them…… the NDP are lost

Why would anyone start an airline in Canada Jagmeet! You already played your hand short of telling them what you feel a fair profit for their risk would be! I have a fear it is so low, running a lemonade stand would not be worth the risk!

This guy continually falls into the traps laid by the CONs! He walks right into them like a mouse to peanut butter! I go from being kinda proud of him to times like this….when he appears so naive because he’s hungry for power!!

Stop bailing out AirCanada to start

No shit

Who knew Juggy was a closet capitalist
