I’ll be flying for the first time in nearly 5 years later this month. It has a connecting flight. I feel like I’m going to spend a bunch of time in an airport.
FYI, if there is any delay or cancellation there might be required compensation that they owe you, but you will have to ask.

Air Canada has been cancelling and delaying flights like crazy this year. Walking through the airports I can’t count the number of times I overheard “Never booking AC again”. Schedules changing ruins entire holidays or business trips…
If only Canada’s largest and oldest airline could have predicted Canada’s annual high travel periods…
Maybe yet another cash infusion from the government will help them remember.
The privatization of Air Canada was a mistake
In fact, the privatization of most Canadian crown corporations was a mistake
From a government perspective, connecting remote areas has economic advantages through improved trade, better access to services, and eventually increased economic growth/more tax revenue. For private corporations, none of these advantages materialize.
That’s why China is able to afford a trillion dollars of debt to build HSR when nobody else can: it allows them to push economic growth away from tier 1 cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou) and towards tier 2 and tier 3 cities.
