The challenge there is MSP could then really cut into the YWG-YYC-onward traffic and instead be YWG-MSP-onward. I know personally if I was looking for a transatlantic flight I would much rather fly from MSP than YYC, YYZ or YUL. Coming home through MSP was a dream compared to YYZ or YYC. Never been to YUL but with hearing it is a cramped airport not sure I really want to see it.

There was rumors that WestJet would share the route with Delta out of YWG but there was also maybe talk that Encore would do YQR and YXE to MSP but who knows.
