Qlik Answers Gaining Traction

Qlik has announced growing enterprise adoption of Qlik Answers, as companies across sectors move beyond AI prototypes and into business-critical deployment. Built for real-world complexity, Qlik Answers allows organizations to extract intelligence from unstructured data with precision, explainability, and speed. From public health to manufacturing, companies are embedding Qlik's AI capabilities directly into operations to support faster, trusted decisions. Where many generative AI tools stall at the proof-of-concept phase, Qlik Answers is helping companies scale.

By leveraging the Amazon Bedrock platform, Qlik Answers connects structured and unstructured data, providing not only answers but recommended actions, with full lineage and traceability.

Air Canada to resume flights after union deal

Air Canada began relaunching flights on Tuesday after reaching a mediated settlement with its flight attendants' union, ending a strike that grounded the carrier for three days and disrupted travel worldwide. The airline confirmed it had struck a deal with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) through a mediation process overseen by arbitrator William Kaplan. The agreement commits more than 10,000 cabin crew to return to work immediately, allowing the country's largest airline to restart operations. 'The suspension of our service is extremely difficult for our customers. We deeply regret and apologise for the impact on them of this labour disruption,' said Michael Rousseau, Air Canada's president and chief executive. 'Restarting a major carrier like Air Canada is a complex undertaking. Full restoration may require a week or more, so we ask for our customers' patience and understanding over the coming days.' First flights back in the air The airline said its first departures on Tuesday included AC009 from Toronto to Tokyo-Narita, AC556 from Vancouver to Los Angeles, and AC489 from Montreal to Toronto. In total, 155 flights were scheduled to depart from Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, with international, transborder and domestic services gradually resuming. Air Canada to Gradually Resume Service Today after Reaching a Mediated Settlement with its Flight Attendant Union : — Air Canada (@AirCanada) August 19, 2025 Mark Nasr, executive vice president and chief operations officer, acknowledged the scale of the task. 'Restoring global operations will take up to ten days, as aircraft and crew are out of position. Additionally, mandatory maintenance checks are required, as aircraft have been on the ground for more than three days,' he said. Continued disruption expected Air Canada warned that some flights will continue to be cancelled over the next week while schedules are stabilised. Only passengers with confirmed bookings for operating services are advised to go to the airport. Travellers can check flight status on the airline's website or mobile app. (2/3) Please check your flight status before heading to the airport. Customers should only come to the airport if they hold a confirmed booking, and their flights show as operating. Flight status can be checked on or on the Air Canada app. — Air Canada (@AirCanada) August 20, 2025 Those affected by cancellations are being offered refunds, travel credits or rebooking on other carriers, though alternative capacity remains tight due to the peak summer season. Air Canada has assigned 5,000 agents to help passengers find alternatives. The airline also pledged an 'exceptional disruption policy,' effective from Wednesday, to cover transportation expenses incurred by stranded travellers. A new online dashboard has been launched to allow customers to track the recovery process in real time. Flights between Dubai and Toronto, a key route for the airline, were among those cancelled during the strike, which began on 16 August. The disruption left passengers across the Gulf and around the world scrambling for alternatives during one of the busiest travel periods of the year. While Air Canada Rouge and mainline flights were grounded, services operated by Air Canada Express partners Jazz and PAL Airlines continued as scheduled. No further strikes expected The company stressed that during the ratification process of the mediated settlement, or under binding arbitration if required, neither strikes nor lockouts are permitted. 'Customers can plan, book and travel with Air Canada with certainty,' the airline said in a statement. Air Canada carries about 130,000 passengers daily across its global network of more than 180 airports. The carrier has a Skytrax four-star ranking and is a founding member of the Star Alliance network.

Trump launches official White House TikTok account despite federal ban law

President Donald Trump launched an official White House account on TikTok on Tuesday, underscoring his political embrace of the Chinese-owned app even as he continues to block enforcement of a federal law that could ban it in the United States. The @WhiteHouse account's first post featured video clips of Trump at recent events set to dramatic music, echoing a viral TikTok trend that paired footage from the movie Creed with a track by rapper Kendrick Lamar. The move marks a sharp reversal for Trump, who tried to ban TikTok during his first term in office. He opened a personal account in mid-2024 to court younger voters, amassing a large following. His last personal post was on Election Day in November. 'President Trump's message dominated TikTok during his presidential campaign,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. 'We're excited to build on that success and communicate in a way no other administration has before.' TikTok's future in the US remains uncertain under a 2024 law that requires app stores and cloud providers to block the app unless Chinese parent company ByteDance sells it to a non-Chinese buyer. Lawmakers cited national security risks, warning Beijing could access US user data or manipulate content. The statute allows only limited 90-day extensions if there is 'significant progress' toward a sale. Trump, however, has repeatedly issued additional reprieves since taking office in January, giving TikTok until mid-September to find a new owner. Another extension remains possible. Trump's allies and some TikTok executives have lobbied to keep the app operating in the US, arguing it is a vital political and cultural platform. The White House's new account signals the administration sees value in directly engaging TikTok's younger user base despite the bipartisan push in Congress to force a divestiture.
