I think you have no fucking idea what a tarrif is.
Not only does Canada already do this it’s fees are far higher than the United States for large aircraft and they don’t waive the fee if the plane is taking off or landing in the country like the United States and Mexico do. They also charge out the ass for using their airports.

What kind of news is this?
So this is called overflights if my memory is correct and we do charge each and everyone of them a fee collected by NavCanada. I’m not 100% sure on this but we run this as a non profit.
Used to work for a company making flight planning software for airlines.
You are 100% correct. There are overflight fees tjat carry if your a domestic or international flight.
I don’t think Canada can do that. There’s an airspace treaty signed by basically everyone except Russia and China that gives a lot of rights on aerospawce to airlines companies but I don’t remember the details
I don’t think Canada can do that.
They started doing it in 1995. They are called “overflight fees” and Canada’s are far higher than what the US charges for large commercial aircraft. Canada also doesn’t waive the fee if a plane is landing or taking off inside Canada like the US and Mexico do.

I must be confusing it with something else then
As others have pointed out, we do. Most countries do aswell. Overflight fees are a thing.
Umm have you ever heard of a presidential order.
Carney can do similar if he had the right attitude
If you’re going to be all “ra ra Canada” then please at least know what you’re talking about.
Comments like this make it very evident you don’t.
Carney can do similar if he had the right attitude
No he can’t. Very few countries give a single person as much power as POTUS.
Very few countries give a single person as much power as POTUS.
For reasons made incredibly evident over the last two years.
Not really. Unlike the US President, the Prime Minister of Canada can’t do very much without the backing of the legislature and isn’t technically the head of the government. Carney does have more power than an average House of Commons backbencher, but not that much more.
And then no Canadian airline can travel over any country airspace without signing individual treaties…
lets wait til the new congress is seated before we make any big decisions…
Still the same country, damage is already done, they have to repair the relationship before we give them grace.
While I agree that the damage is done, I think right now is the wrong time to create new ways of antagonizing them. We have the new tariffs coming into effect just before the new congress is seated; if they don’t start attacking that pretty quick THEN we start hitting them with more things.
Nothing has changed.
I’m not stopping my boycott and neither should anyone else.
