Air Canada is non essential. Rail, and postal service, health care teachers are. No other option is available. Customers have other options available in most cases and Air Canada has been struggling for a while with public perception and this is bad optics. My home town is only serviced by Air Canada but because they have contacted out the route to Jazz, I'm not affected. But I still have options for an airport an hour away though.

Rail, and postal service, health care teachers are [essential].

It's amazing how badly all those are being managed, right now. Mailposte wants to go private so they can end some bad contracts, rail is largely sold off to greedy corps, and teachers have gotten the shit end of the stick for decades.

For instance, my sister-in-law is retiring soon from teaching. She left the country to find a job that pays a living wage. Why yes, it IS a former Viking nation, and how did you know?

Jazz is AirCanada but their work force are not on the same union
