Re: Icelandair..?

Hubby flew with them 2010 Winnipeg-Iceland-Uk and Return.
He said it was an experience, and has opted not to since.

But they are usually the cheaper option.

Re: Where to vacation from Canada?

Looks like I'll be planning the next trip to Washington, DC!

I've looked at flights and they are way cheaper if we cross the border into US by car and then fly. Shouldn't be a problem no?

Re: dumping the commonwealth?

+1. All that money in aid, yet improvements seem scarce.

Not just the aid from Canada but not forgetting these countries receive aid from many westernized countries.
