MANY of the people from the West Coast are at every Canadian National and that is because it is EASY TO FLY INTO with dogs!!! If that changes with the Airline changes......so will their entry. We flew directly into Detroit from Calif. and drove. We haven't been able to do that with a U.S. National since Perry......and it really didn't matter.......until the Airline and aircraft size changes. That does change everything!
