Both cars and laundry detergents are also not the same price depending on the brand, not at all. I don't know how these examples strengthen your argument but you failed miserably!!!

Ever buy gas at Walmart? I've bought loss leader gas for 15 cents less than a Pcan across the street in this very province.
If you look around you'll find a ton of routes that are priced exactly the same on WJ and AC. You are picking one or two that you found and parading them around. WJ has been in the news a million times over the last several years talking about how AC is matching them to the penny on purpose.
The overall prices of hotels ebb and flow together, yes one room might be 10 bucks more than the next but then hotel rooms differentiate from each other much easier that gasoline does ... pretty much gas is gas to most motorists, but hotels have bigger or smaller rooms, better or worse locations etc.. Airlines can differentiate a little as well ie business travellers are attracted to aeroplan points
Still looking for all that proof to collusion, or that you even have a faint idea of what it is in the first place ... that's the only thing I see failing miserably.
