Does Canada need a national aviation strategy?

from Mornings with Simi Hosted by Curiouscast

Today is Mid-Term Election day in the United States. The latest polls favor the Democrats to win the House and possibly the Senate, but GOP gerrymandering and tight races are making a “blue wave” uncertain. Retailers and restaurants are cautious about Black Friday and the holidays as consumers hold back and the economy softens. WestJet CEO Alexis von Hoensbroech wants a national aviation strategy to curb rising costs and fix a market he says is “tilting” because of government aid. He says labour laws, passenger rights, taxes, and fees hinder growth, and wants reforms viewed holistically rather than in isolation.
