From the Western Standard:

from the 'shotgun'...the official w.s. blog...i agree that they have to let air canada fall at some point. let it sink or swim...if it comes up for air and lives, than it lives, if not.... let them eat cake.

No bailout for Air Canada
Let's hope Tony Valeri actually means what he says:


"Ottawa is considering initiatives to help the country's struggling airline industry, but it will not bail out Air Canada, federal Transport Minister Tony Valeri told a Halifax business audience Tuesday.[...]
But the airline shouldn't expect a rescue package from Ottawa, Mr. Valeri told reporters after his speech.

“Parties around the table need to resolve this,” he said. “It's a private sector solution I'm looking for.”

I agree, Air Canada was privatized, under no circumstances should taxpayers be stuck with bailing it out. I like this guy Valeri better than Sheila Copps already. Of course with Liberals there's no reason to have confidence their position today will still be in effect tomorrow.
