AOL was founded 35 years ago with the belief the Internet would become a platform for diverse voices. We never imagined it would be used to distort and divide. I’m grateful Twitter, Facebook & YouTube took these actions today. With great power comes great responsibility. – at Washington, DC

Of these eight Air Canada station closures, four are in Quebec: Gaspé, Baie Comeau, Mont Joli and Val d'Or. This is going to have a *huge* impact on regional business, tourism and just life in general in these regions.
