Air Canada Planning Ho Chi Minh City Flights by 2027? Thoughts?

So, just heard Air Canada's looking to start flights to Ho Chi Minh City in 2027. That's pretty big, right? They've got this new air transport agreement with Vietnam allowing nonstop flights, both passenger and cargo. But here's the thing-they haven't said which Canadian city they'll fly from or how often.

Vietnamese community in Canada is huge, like 275,000 people, so there's definitely a demand. Plus, trade between the two countries is on the rise. I think using a Boeing 787-9 seems like a safe bet, especially since they use it for other long-haul routes in Southeast Asia.

But what do you guys think? Which Canadian city should be their gateway? Vancouver seems like a logical choice, but maybe Toronto? And do you think a Vietnamese airline will enter the scene too? That could make things interesting. Curious to hear your thoughts on this potential new route.
I think Vancouver makes more sense as the gateway, considering it's closer geographically to Asia and already a major hub for Asian routes. Plus, there's a significant Vietnamese population in BC. Toronto could work too, but it might add more time to the flight. As for a Vietnamese airline getting in on the action, I wouldn't be surprised. Vietnam Airlines or Bamboo Airways might want a slice of that market. Could be real competition for Air Canada. Wonder how that'll affect ticket prices.
