A couple of Alberta related posts and one Canada related:
1. Canadian North to retire it's last 737-200's and therefore the end of jet service to a number of northern communities., Which does impact those communities significantly as the replacement aircraft don't carry nearly the cargo a 737 does. It's also the end of an era, the -200's with their gravel kits were mainstays in northern aviation for many years. And there is no direct replacement for them.
2. Air Canada/Alberta related. It's not all bad news for Alberta. Yes Regina and Saskatoon lose their connection to Calgary but AC is beefing up service to Alberta in other ways. YMM-Montreal (new) and YEG-YUL going 4x daily and YYC-YYZ going 13x daily. That's doubling capacity out of YEG on that route and 13x daily to YYZ is a lot for YYC (what is WS?)
3. Also in YEG, Porter airlines is starting E195 jet service to of Pearson (YYZ) and Edmonton is on the list. Going to 3x daily.
