Another airline that will flounder away for a while offering unsustainable prices before collapsing into bankruptcy and leaving passengers stranded and tickets unrefunded. How many of these have come and gone in Canada since 2000?

The loonie hit its lowest level in more than 12 years this week, briefly trading below 71 cents US, but one Canadian economist says the weak dollar isn't all bad news.
While Canadian consumers will notice prices going up in grocery stores, malls and when shopping online, Craig Alexander, vice-president of economic analysis for the C.D. Howe Institute, says the weak dollar is good news for exporters and will help soften the blow from plunging oil prices.
"A weak Canadian dollar is actually good for the Canadian economy," Alexander told CTV's Canada AM on Friday.

Alexander said there's "a lot of pain" in Canada's commodities sector, especially in Alberta with plunging oil prices. But he said the weak loonie will act "as a shock absorber" in those industries.
"They sell their products in U.S. dollars, so when they convert it back into Canadian dollars, a weaker loonie helps soften the blow from weaker oil prices," Alexander said. "…It means that you end up with fewer job layoffs and job losses."

Meanwhile, a weak loonie makes Canadian exporters more competitive, especially for those selling their products in the U.S.
Alexander said this can lead to job growth and higher wages.
This seems to be the case for Carleton Place, Ont.-based bat maker Sam Bat, which sells the majority of their products south of the border.
The company's president Arlene Anderson told CTV Ottawa on Thursday that sales are up 35 to 40 per cent.
"That's a major advantage to us," she said.

Alexander said the weak Canadian dollar is part of a “natural process.â€
“It allows our economy to adjust to lower commodity prices, and help it perform in a tough economy," he said.
However, Alexander acknowledges that there's a "negative tone" associated with a weak dollar, and a low loonie is bad news for importers.
Ultimately, he said the higher costs of imports, including for fresh fruits and vegetables and clothing, will be passed on to consumers.
