Unregulated corporatism is making businesses and industries more greedy and manipulative every day. Remember WestJet- the "little Airline That Could"? They started out as a no-frills, low cost carrier. People went bananas over WestJet because they offered an affordable alternative to Air Canada's monopoly. WestJet became the most popular, profitable company in Canada.   

Then after a few years, WestJet started adding "service fees", "fuel surcharges", baggage fees, premium fares, and numerous add-ons that made the cost of a seat just as much, or even more than Air Canada. Now the two Airlines are virtually indistinguishable from each other-at least when it comes to price. The new corporate motto today is "if the other guy is doing it- why can't I"?

When it comes to service, selection and affordability, It's all a race to the bottom now.
