Canada’s Competition Bureau is urging the domestic airline industry to open its doors to foreign-owned carriers, a move it believes will usher in an era of cheaper flights and enhanced service.
We have no competition for air service in Canada. Foreign owned airlines would hopefully see air fare prices drop. In Canada we protect Canadian companies like CBC, Canada Post, Air Canada, etc and we have all seen the poor service they provide and yet taxpayers have seen their money go to these companies that should be able to survive on their own or go bankrupt. All to often we have seen obscene management salaries or bonuses being paid out for these companies.
Canadian consumers have for decades been stuck with having only "Canadian' monopolies serving telecom, internet, airlines, etc etc and in the process these monopolies getting obscenely rich off the Canadian consumers while usually not providing even a modicom of satisfactory service or quality of goods. Canadian consumers have little in the way of any choices or cheaper prices for goods and services because of these Canadain monopolies collusion of price fixing....Airlines in Canada serve subpar service to their customers while they boast about their phantom "great service" and "on time", mostly non existent flights....This has always been the Canadian way for decades and people are fed up with the garbage service and over priced goods they have no choice to accept due to government restrictions on not allowing any foreign competition.....
Agreed. We need competition. We also have an inefficient and ineffective monopoly with the HEALTH CARE SYSTEM and PUBLIC EDUCATION. They have no need to innovate or to pursue excellence as the money rolls in no matter how low the product quality becomes.
