Air Canada flight attendants ordered back to work but remain on strike: What's next?
There is chaos in the skies — or more precisely, on the ground — as the labour dispute between Air Canada and its 10,000 flight attendants, represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), drags on. Article content On Saturday, the federal government ordered the striking attendants back to work and declared there would be binding arbitration between the two parties by the Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB). But the union said no, a decision that could end in jail time for its leaders. Here's what to know. Article content Article content Article content 'Air Canada has really refused to bargain with us, and they refused to bargain with us because they knew this government would come in on their white horse and try and save the day,' CUPE national president Mark Hancock said. He said the union felt the 'whole process has been unfair.' Article content On Monday, the CIRB reiterated that the strike by the flight attendants was illegal, and has ordered the union's leadership to direct its members to return to work. The union said it has received National Post's request for comment and will respond soon. Article content Meanwhile, labour experts say this has happened before, but rarely. Article content Sundeep Gokhale, an employment and labour lawyer and partner at Sherrard Kuzz LLP, told CTV News on Monday: 'We haven't seen this type of defiance in quite a long time in terms of an outright refusal despite government orders as well in legal decisions requiring employees to return to work.' Article content Article content In 1978 a strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers was met with back-to-work legislation. When the workers refused, the government arrested the entire CUPW national executive. A month later, a federally appointed judge sentenced union president Jean-Claude Parrot to three months in jail and 18 months' probation for defying Parliament. Article content Article content Hancock seemed aware of the precedent when he told reporters on Monday: 'We will not be returning to the skies. If it means folks like me (are) going to jail, so be it.' Article content In a word, stranded. Air Canada cancelled hundreds of additional flights on Sunday in the wake of the union's response. The airline has said it will do what it can to rebook passengers on other airlines, but this is a busy time of year for flying, and there are limited alternatives available.

Anand says international law is fundamental, as Ukraine talks kick off at White House
OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says Canada is trying to convince other countries that international law is fundamental for peace in Ukraine and across the world. Anand is in Helsinki, meeting with foreign ministers from Nordic countries as part of Canada's foreign policy for the Arctic, which seeks more economic and security ties with countries like Finland Anand will meet with Finnish President Alexander Stubb on Tuesday, after he returns to Helsinki from a White House visit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy is in Washington alongside major European leaders to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, who hosted a summit last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump is trying to play peace broker to end the war that started with Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, followed by its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Kyiv says it needs security guarantees, which involve meaningful commitments of military force by more powerful countries if Russia makes more incursions into Ukraine. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 18, 2025. Dylan Robertson, The Canadian Press
