Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

Now if only we had 5x the airport numbers and 10 x the population.

I think you are exaggerating just a little bit

Jumping to a old topic but something I've been reminded of presently. It's so amazing to have a train station at an airport. I am currently in Japan and I have been so delighted to be able to go from the airport directly into Tokyo. We need this to become a reality in Edmonton.

Yup, flying in and out of Haneda like 30 minutes to Shinjinku.

Yes, Tokyo has great airport to city connections, I've done Haneda to Asakusa on a 10 hour layover and it was seamless.

Unfortunately, there's a giant elephant in the room that makes Edmonton Airport rail connections a major issue, that being how damn far the airport is from the City.

It will be at least 30-40 years until the Capital Line will even be sniffing at approaching the airport. Here's hoping whatever the Provincial Rail plan ends up looking like, it includes a regional rail line to YEG from a station probably at Strathcona Junction.

Now if only the Canadian obsession of American “culture” could be the next boycott.

So boycott jazz music, literature and poetry from some of the greatest writers to ever live, bluegrass, cajun food? Boycott Uncle Tupelo, Pearl Jam, Rancid, Bob Dylan, Billie Holiday, Public Enemy..... Van Halen?

Maybe not that stuff, but thinks like the kardashians and the like is something we could probably get along without.

So just take the parts that you find agreeable and "cancel" the rest. Seems very enlightened. No, actually seems very boring and elitist.

My what a genius (not)... you are very adept at reading your own posts -- you have "Little Jack Horner" syndrome.

CN and FA were combined some time ago other than AC flying into Iqaluit and YK the only other airline was Calm air but they were only central arctic out of Winnipeg. All others were to small and only did a few stations ( Ken Borek, Air Tindi, North Wright Air, Nolin Air, Kivalliq, Aklak and Buffalo) . Or they were charters, medivac and freight.

So do most of the people who watch Fox News also watch MSNBC, or do they take what they find agreeable and cancel the rest? It seems boring goes both ways.
