Air Canada lost $1.05-billion in the first three months of this year and is burning $14-million of cash each day, results that have newly-named chief executive Michael Rousseau lobbying the federal government to ease pandemic-related travel restrictions.

Revenues at the country’s largest airline were down by 80 per cent in the first quarter of 2021, at $729-million, compared to the same period a year earlier, when the COVID-19 pandemic began to curtail travel.

Montreal-based Air Canada said on Friday its operating loss more than doubled, year over year. The carrier’s net loss was $3.90 per share, well below the forecast average loss of $2.83 per share expected by the 14 analysts who cover the company. The airline spent $1.3-billion of cash in the quarter, and said it has $6.6-billion of liquidity.

Air Canada has probably transported a huge percentage of the Covid variants into this country. They have been lobbying for relaxed rules since last summer.

Probably :?

AC lobbied to relax non-sensical restrictions. Mexico and Caribbean travel banned although they were not hot spots, 3 day quarantines in a hotel etc. From spring of 2020 AC developed rapid testing for travellers and developed a sanitization program to keep travellers and crew safe. AC suspended China operations in March of 2020 without government policy/request. Meanwhile there have been zero restrictions on foreign carriers to operate into Canada, 30,000 truckers have entered/left the country unvaccinated DAILY, but sure, let's point the finger strictly at AC for a global pandemic for "probably" importing a variant.

If you read some scientific data on this, you wouldn't be saying this about Air Canada... But media fear porn news will make you believe in anything if they keep repeating the news over and over...

Air Canada also flies terrorists, criminals, and worst of all, men with man-buns.

US border closed for another month, even to those fully vaccinated.

UK slowing down vaccinations at 55%. Isreal has nearly stopped vaccinating at 60% of the population receiving at least one dose. The U.S. is stalling out its vaccine uptake at 48% receiving their first dose. In all these countries, the death rate, and infection rates are plummeting.

Terry Tam has stated that she needs to see 75% of Canadians receiving their first shot, and at least 20% having their second before seriously considering lifting Federal Covid policies.

While possible, 75% is not logically attainable. This will not end, and borders will not open until until the Federal Government shifts the opening metric to "hospitalizations and death rates". Period.

We need "reasonable" Federal guidance that Provinces can use as a baseline, otherwise it will be a complete clusterfock.

This administration thrives on extinguishing hope.

After 5 months of vaccinations, only 3% of Canadians have been fully vaccinated with two shots! :roll:

I mean you cant be this ignorant as to why we have more with the first shot right? Its because we aren't giving second shots. I mean a toddle can see that. And it looks like the vaccine is not very effective after just one shot. anywhere from 13-30% against the variants. Shoots up to 90% after the second shot. So tell me again how delaying the shot is good? :?

Canada is months behind the vax curve. Our illustrious leader made a deal with China for vaccines, then got promptly screwed. Go figure.

Yeah 50% have 1st shot , how many have second shot? 3%?! great job!

I though you've done your research and knew that 12 weeks between jabs was better for you..... I'm just a pilot

Both those links are from trash rags. Please link a reputable peer reviewed study. I don’t think you will want to as it shows one dose is very INEFFECTIVE against any of the variants.

https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/covid ... id-vaccine

how about that one...

We've made a choice in Canada.... based on Science more people with one dose vs less people with full protection...the goal is to control the infection and reduce impact on the health system, 50% with some protection is better than 25% fully protected for the overall control of outbreak... Delay in doses are also rooted in sciences, the 28 days between doses got approved because of time constraint (to get the vaccines out faster couldn't wait for a full 6 months study), new data as expected showing a better immune response after 4-6 month (like most other vaccines)

The point is get your 1st shot as soon as you can, even if you still get sick it should be as bad as if you were unvaccinated, 2nd shot will come soon and probably a 3rd one next winter....

That article is clear. Its final word is:

While one dose is good, two are better.

The other article you post references a non-peer reviewed look at 170 80-100 year olds, people with varying poor immune systems to begin with. And while the article title, which is as deep as most people will go, talks about increased antibodies, the paper itself talks about other responses associated with immunity being not as strong. Clearly they are selling a narrative.

Also even if we are to believe that delaying the second dose does provide some increase in immunity, there is a risk associated with that extended time in between doses where you have less immunity than if you were to have the second dose now. The pandemic is now, not 3 months from now.

Are you afraid of it? I guess being an adult with a lifetime of experiences does not mean that you still can't be as dull as door knob.

There's an update to that research. They found that 87% of those men under observation also has wives that gained, on average 64lbs, while sitting on the couch watching Netflix eating potato chips. There is now a new study commissioned about Covid related erectile disfunction with this in mind.
