YVR celebrates additional Asia-Pacific connections with inaugural T'way flight to Seoul Français
New carrier strengthens YVR's position as a global gateway, key driver of trade and economic impact MUSQUEAM TERRITORY and RICHMOND, BC, July 12, 2025 /CNW/ - Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is proud to be the first airport in North America to welcome regular service from South Korean airline, T'way Air. Today's inaugural flight kicks off four-times weekly, year-round service between Incheon International Airport (ICN) in Seoul and YVR, further positioning YVR as the preferred North American gateway to Asia-Pacific. The new T'way service provides the community with even more flexibility and convenience when travelling to South Korea and connections across Asia, but the benefits of this new service go beyond passengers alone. An additional air connection provides increased cargo capacity to further diversify trading markets and get British Columbian and Canadian products to consumers in Asia and around the world. 2024 was a record-breaking year for cargo out of YVR with more than 339,000 tonnes of goods shipped through the airport and South Korea is YVR's number two air export destination. "British Columbia has long had strong ties with South Korea and is home to a large Korean community that continues to make significant contributions to the cultural diversity and prosperity of our province," said B.C. Premier David Eby. "This affordable direct flight will allow people to stay connected with friends and family across the Pacific and also means that it will be faster and easier to do business with our fourth largest trading partner, strengthening the economic ties between us during a time of global uncertainty." "This new service to South Korea is about more than travel convenience—it represents a strategic investment in connectivity, trade, and Canada's place in the global economy," said Tamara Vrooman, President and CEO at YVR. "YVR is excited to further expand our ability to connect Canada with the world, to support industry and families, attract investment, and to further build resilience in supply chains." Each new international route from YVR results in direct economic benefit, with the flight to Seoul estimated to generate $39.8 million in economic output, $20.8 million in GDP, and 237 full time jobs in the province. "The launch of our Vancouver–Incheon route represents more than just a new destination—it's a meaningful bridge connecting people, cultures, and economic opportunity," said Mr. Sang Yoon Lee, CEO of T'way Air. "As the first Korean low-cost carrier to serve Canada, we're excited to welcome onboard travellers to Korea while continuing to deliver reliable service." Prior to the flight departing for its inaugural 11-hour journey, Elders from Musqueam, joined by Musqueam Councillor Morgan Guerin, helped send passengers on their journey in a good way with traditional songs and hands raised. Since 2017, this relationship has been guided by the Musqueam-YVR Sustainability & Friendship Agreement, a 30-year commitment built on respect, reconciliation, and shared prosperity. Flights with T'way from Vancouver to Seoul are scheduled to depart YVR at 5:25 p.m. local time arriving at ICN the next day at 9:35 p.m. local time. T'way is operating this route using an Airbus 330-300 aircraft, offering 347 seats, including lie-flat options in its Business Saver class, moving approximately 2,700 passengers weekly. Established in 2010, T'way Air is a low-cost carrier serving more than 40 destinations domestically in South Korea and around the globe including Europe, Asia, Australia, and now North America with the introduction of service to YVR. For further details on this new service and to book, please visit Photos and B-roll footage of the departure celebrations at YVR are available upon request by contacting [email protected]. ABOUT YVR Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is a diverse global hub that connects people, cargo, data, and ideas and serves as a platform for our community to come together and thrive.

3 Millionaire-Maker Quantum Computing Stocks
Key Points Alphabet and Microsoft have vast resources to invest in quantum computing. IonQ's approach to quantum computing is unique. 10 stocks we like better than IonQ › Quantum computing is one of the hottest trends in the market. It's an innovative technology that's starting to gain wider adoption, but we're still a few years away from widespread commercial use. The trick with quantum computing investing is to get into the leaders before they take off, but not so early that the stocks are essentially dead money until the quantum computing arms race picks up steam. It's impossible to predict when that will occur, but I still believe some viable quantum computing investments will reward shareholders over the long term if they invest in them now. These are mostly big tech companies that are investing in quantum computing, but I also have one pure-play company that I'm keeping an eye on. Alphabet Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL) kicked off the quantum computing arms race in December 2024 with the announcement of its Willow quantum computing chip. The chip completed a task in five minutes that would have taken the world's most powerful supercomputer 10 septillion years (10 to the 25th power) to accomplish. This test was rigged to demonstrate how a quantum computer operates, but what was significant was how accurately it did so. The Willow chip achieved a 99.8% two-qubit gate fidelity, a measure of the accuracy of the calculation. This is a significant aspect of quantum computing, as it involves inherent errors in calculations due to the way quantum computers operate. Instead of using bits like a traditional computer, which transmits information as a 0 or a 1, quantum computers use qubits, which can be better described as the probability of an answer being a 0 or a 1. This makes quantum computers excellent for computing tasks that don't have a discrete answer, and incredibly useful for solving problems that can take multiple paths to a final answer, such as weather modeling, logistics networks, and AI. Alphabet is a leader in the quantum computing arms race and has the excess cash flows to invest a massive amount in this technology if it feels that it's worth it. This makes Alphabet a key player in this space, and it's a stock that I like for the long term. Microsoft Alphabet isn't the only big tech company competing in the quantum computing arms race. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) also has significant investments in quantum computing and is pursuing the industry for a similar reason as Alphabet: to ensure it has the best computing technology available for its own use and for its cloud computing clients to harness. Microsoft claims to have created a new state of matter in its Majorana 1 quantum computing chip that allows it to control the qubits precisely. This makes the calculation incredibly accurate, once again addressing the key problem with quantum computers currently. Microsoft has similar advantages to Alphabet, and its presence in the quantum computing space should not be overlooked. IonQ IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) is a pure-play quantum computing company. There's no backup plan for IonQ; it's quantum computing relevancy or bust. However, IonQ has partnerships with the U.S. Air Force Research Lab (one of the leading government labs), and it has taken an approach that no other company has. IonQ employs a trapped-ion approach and utilizes all-to-all connectivity. It is generally accepted that qubits become more accurate when they're allowed to interact with each other. While many companies have taken the approach to allow qubits to interact with their neighbors in a grid-like system, IonQ has taken it a step further by allowing every qubit to interact with each other. This approach has delivered an industry-leading 99.9% two-qubit gate fidelity to IonQ.\ Additionally, nearly every other quantum computing competitor needs to cool down its chips to near absolute zero, an incredibly expensive process. However, IonQ's technology operates at room temperature, which could be a key advantage for wide-scale deployment. Although IonQ is still a long way from generating meaningful revenue, I appreciate its approach and current technology, and I believe it's a great way to invest in a pure-play quantum computing company. However, it is an incredibly risky play, and the stock could go to zero if it fails. As a result, investors need to keep their position sizing relatively small.

LaSalle College fined $30M for over-enrolling students in English-language programs
Social Sharing Montreal's LaSalle College says it's facing an existential threat after it was handed down back-to-back fines totalling almost $30 million from the Quebec government for enrolling too many students in its English-language programs. The private college received a letter from the Ministry of Higher Education at the end of June saying it owed $21,113,864 for enrolling 1,066 students over its quota for the 2024-25 academic year. That amount is summed to the $8.7 million fine it was handed down last year for the same infraction. "The first question that came to my mind is which organization or family business can afford to pay such a fine," said the college's president and CEO, Claude Marchand. Leading up to the introduction of the quotas in 2023, he said he had pleaded with the government to no avail to give colleges a grace period, as it had done for businesses adjusting to Law 14, also known as Bill 96, Quebec's law to protect the French language. LaSalle College received its first quota in late February 2023 which was to be enforced in the fall of that same year. But by that point, the college's enrolment process for international students was well underway. "So, we were already doomed when we got that number," said Marchand. That year, it surpassed the quota by 716 students. LaSalle College ran into the same issue the following year. Meeting the quota would have meant breaking the college's contracts with some students who had enrolled before the quotas were ever introduced and cutting short their academic careers at the school, which LaSalle wasn't willing to do, said Marchand. "Now we're fully compliant in fall 2025, but it took us those two years to be fully compliant," said Marchand. "We're not challenging the law per se. We are challenging the penalty that is the outcome of the law." Colleges faced reduced fines at first to help them adjust, says government The fine per student enrolled over the quota increased from last year. A spokesperson for Pascale Déry, Quebec's minister of higher education, says the reduced fine rate in the first year was the transitory measure. "Despite close support and several warnings, it is important to point out that LaSalle is the only subsidized private college to continue to defy the Charter of the French Language and to not respect the law," said the minister's office in a statement. In a post to X, Jean-François Roberge, the minister responsible for the French language, said Quebec's move to cap enrolment into programs taught in English was "brave, but necessary." For his part, Marchand says that negotiating and getting any indication of flexibility from Déry has been complicated. LaSalle was the only college, private or otherwise, to be fined by the government for contravening the quota in 2024 as can be seen in Quebec's budgetary and financial regimes for that year. Other colleges were able to negotiate their quotas like the public Cégep Marie-Victorin which was initially allotted 232 spots in its Attestation of College Studies (AEC in French) programs for the fall 2023. That number rose to 332, according to a government document from October that year, released through an access to information request. LaSalle is contesting both fines in a civil suit at Quebec's Superior Court, claiming, among other things, that the government's quotas were unreasonable to begin with. That's partially because, as the suit says, the quotas are inferior to the number of international students enrolling into an English program the college is allowed to accept — a number the government itself sets. The government says its fines are meant to recover the amount of overpaid subsidies. But the government doesn't subsidize international students at LaSalle, the suit goes on to explain, and the particular quota the school didn't meet is at the AEC level where there are a lot of international students. Marchand calls the fines a "clawback" saying the government is also fining it twice for the same student over the last two years. "We don't have more students in those [English-taught] programs than in 2019 which is the ultimate spirit of the law. We're fully compliant for next semester and we have a public mission to serve all [our] 5,000 students and we want to keep going."
