Complain to the Canadian TSA and other agencies of the Canadian
government responsible for transportation security. Complain the the
Canadian legislature. If any kind of boycott is warranted, it should
be US travelers flying to Canada, rather than the other way around.

Well, they can complain about the CATSA's policy, just like anyone

The US regulations require hand checking carry-on bags for passengers
flying from or through 14 countries that are designated as state
sponsors of terrorism or similar high risk areas. There has been no
move by the US to ban carry-ons altogether as Canada has done.

in order to fly into the usa, foreign security must meet certain tsa
guidelines. that's why there's shoe/liquid checks for usa bound flights
but not for flight to other places.

the whole thing is a big charade.

how about this gem? they only plan to catch 1 out of 4 criminals, up
every so slightly from 2009 (25%->26%):
