Not according to TC. Remember, TC and the FAA signed
the IPL which grants reciprocity in pilot licensing.
You need a bit of perspective to understand this.
Canada is an irrelevant, tiny, backwards, bankrupt
country - think of Iceland - with all sorts of silly ideas.
These silly ideas are so ingrained into you as a
Canadian, that you can't imagine things being
any different. Not much different from being a
Scientologist, or a member of the Manson cult.
One of these silly ideas is protectionism, at the
cost of screwing the consumer. This is a very
popular idea in Canada. The milk marketing
board is a perfect example of this. You as a
Canadian pay ridiculously high prices for dairy
products like milk, cream, butter, etc in order
to protect Canadian dairy farmers, and pay
them more than they are worth. This screws
the consumer and no one cares. Canadian
milk is not superior to foreign milk, ok?
This brings us to the FTU OC nonsense, which
resulted from ATAC lobbying TC on behalf of their
flight school members, to create economic
barriers to entry for upstarts. Like the dairy
farmers, they want to charge more than they
are worth, and to screw the competition and
the consumer via regulatory means.
The government has no problem with excessive
regulation which screws the consumer. Look at
DC, which voted only 4% for Trump. 96% of the
government workers wanted Hilary, who likes
big government.
The FTU OC regulations are just more nonsense
from a wasteful Canadian government that couldn't
give a shit about the taxpayer. It just cares about
remaining big, and in power.
A great example of getting stuff fixed was Stephen
Harper dismantling the Canadian Wheat Board, with
it's centralized control right out of the Soviet era:

The socialists in Canada screeched and honked and
wailed and hated Stephen Harper for it, but:

[quote]More than $200 million has been invested in agricultural handling facilities in Hamilton since 2008, marking a renaissance of sorts for the city known as Steeltown even decades after the metal industry began slumping.
Like any economic rebirth, it is hard to point to one single catalyst. But the privatization of the Winnipeg-based Canadian Wheat Board four years ago and 2,000 kilometres away certainly stands out as one.
The Canadian Wheat Board, also known as the single desk, was established in 1935 as the sole marketing agency for Western Canadian wheat and barley.
“The CWB’s mandate was to pay farmers a base price for their grain, identify markets where the grain could be sold, negotiate the best price, deliver the product, issue advance cheques, and make final payments after the crop was sold,†David Emerson wrote in his CTA review. “If the wheat market went up, farmers captured the profits, and if the market declined, the government absorbed the loss.â€
Needless to say, the Conservative government’s decision to dismantle an institution that had played such an enormous role in farmers’ lives for such a long time generated conflicting emotions, with some farmers eager to embrace a free market while others worried that it would destroy their livelihoods.
[b]In all, 23 new investments, ranging from new grain elevators in Saskatchewan to major terminal upgrades at ports in Vancouver and Thunder Bay, Ont., were made. Not every project’s price tag was disclosed, but those that were add up to nearly [u]$500 million[/u] between Viterra and Richardson alone.[/b][/quote]
Good Canadian socialists hate Stephen Harper, but he
was sure right about getting rid of that Soviet-era nonsense.
In return, the Canadian voters tossed his ass out of
office and replaced him with Mr Selfie, Hairdo Dolly
who Thank Christ got his brains from his mother.
