I don't think the foreign ownership restrictions here will be relaxed any time soon. Though apparently back in the early 1990s Bush I wanted to open up the U.S. market to Canadian carriers, for reciprocal rights of course. After Clinton was elected, that died. Bush II has once again floated the idea.
Apparently, Air Canada was opposed to that in the early 1990s but is now in favor. Amazing how bankruptcy and a little competition can change one's perspective.
