		In 1982, Air Canada won Washington based Air Transport World's Technical Management award for "its consistent record of excellence over the years"; its fleet management was cited as "among the best in the world." In 1985, it topped 700 airlines to win Air Transport World's coveted award for excellence.
		However, Canada is not a small, densely populated country like many European nations, any one of which could fit into the Toronto-Metro corridor, and which already possess well developed transportation options.

	Canada/US Relations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Canada has always been aware that its existence has to depend on something else than sheer power; and so internally and externally it has attempted to give itself to the virtues of conciliation, compromise, pluralism, and acceptance of difference.
		The shift in Canada is partly a result of US control of large segments of the Canadian economy, of pressures under the free trade agreements to merge the two social cultures, and a general move in the Western world towards greater reliance on market forces for the production and distribution of wealth.
		In Canada, the tendency to mirror, echo, or extend developments in the USA is increasingly a characteristic of the society.

	CBC.CA - Your Space
		Trans Canada Airlines (TCA) was created during the mid-1930's to create a national airline for Canada which would provide domestic and international service and which would ensure that trans-continental domestic air routes were operated by a Canadian carrier.
		Part of this was due both to Air Canada being a crown corporation and to the general disdain with which much of the population held railroads which were viewed as slow, monopolistic and not always acting in the public interest.
		Both Air Canada and CP Air objected to this and Air Canada was continuing to argue that it was an 'infant industry' requiring government protection.

		All through this latter part of the flight the tone of the voice in the radio transmission, as recorded on TCA tape, did not suggest undue concern by the crew of 810.
		The initial difficulty in maintaining height, which resulted in a clearance being obtained to return on Green 1, obviously gave some concern to the crew of 810 as recorded in the ATC and TCA transcripts and statements of the captain and first officer of Flight 4-9.
		The TCA Radio Operator States "there was no crash static audible", but it must be remembered that he was listening on a VMF frequency where such phenomena would be at a minimum.

	Maxwell (Max) William Ward, Part II: Continued - FlightDeck's Great Canadian Aviators on EXN.CA
		According to Ward, the board's goal was not to regulate the nascent Canadian airline industry, but to protect and ensure the survival and success of the publicly owned and run airline, Trans-Canada Airlines (now Air Canada).
		As the national carrier, Trans-Canada Airlines was to provide air links to Canada's remote areas which might not be economically serviced by the private sector.
		Deregulation of the airline industry was finally approved in 1987, nine years after it came into effect in the U.S. Although Ward was finally given a license for a scheduled service in Canada, it came too late.
