Air Canada delays plans to resume operations after flight attendants refuse to end strike
Air Canada is delaying its plans to resume services on Sunday after its 10,000 striking flight attendants defied the Canadian government's return-to-work order to remain on the picket lines. The strike, which began on Saturday morning, stranded more than 100,000 travelers around the world during the peak summer travel season. The Canada Industrial Relations Board ordered airline staff back to work by 2 p.m. Sunday after the Canadian government intervened and Air Canada said it planned to resume flights Sunday evening. However, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents the flight attendants, said the demonstrations will keep going around the country, despite the airline's statement. "We invite Air Canada back to the table to negotiate a fair deal, rather than relying on the federal government to do their dirty work for them when bargaining gets a little bit tough," the union said. "We remain on strike. We demand a fair, negotiated contract and to be compensated for all hours worked." The airline said in a statement Sunday afternoon that it plans to resume flights on Monday evening. Fewer than 12 hours after workers walked off the job, Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu ordered the 10,000 flight attendants back to work, saying now is not the time to take risks with the economy and noting the unprecedented tariffs the U.S. has imposed on Canada. Hajdu referred the work stoppage to the Canada Industrial Relations Board. The shutdown of Canada's largest airline early Saturday was impacting about 130,000 people a day. Air Canada operates around 700 flights per day. According to numbers from aviation analytics provider Cirium, Air Canada had canceled a total of 671 flights by Saturday afternoon, following 199 on Friday. And another 96 flights scheduled for Sunday were already suspended. The bitter contract fight escalated Friday as the union turned down Air Canada's prior request to enter into government-directed arbitration, which allows a third-party mediator to decide the terms of a new contract. Flight attendants walked off the job around 1 a.m. EDT on Saturday. Around the same time, Air Canada said it would begin locking flight attendants out of airports. Last year, the government forced the country's two major railroads into arbitration with their labor union during a work stoppage. The union for the rail workers is suing, arguing the government is removing a union's leverage in negotiations. The Business Council of Canada had urged the government to impose binding arbitration in this case, too. And the Canadian Chamber of Commerce welcomed the intervention. Hajdu maintained that her Liberal government is not anti-union, saying it is clear the two sides are at an impasse. Passengers whose flights are impacted will be eligible to request a full refund on the airline's website or mobile app, according to Air Canada. The airline said it would also offer alternative travel options through other Canadian and foreign airlines when possible. Still, it warned that it could not guarantee immediate rebooking because flights on other airlines are already full "due to the summer travel peak." Air Canada and the Canadian Union of Public Employees have been in contract talks for about eight months, but they have yet to reach a tentative deal. Both sides have said they remain far apart on the issue of pay and the unpaid work flight attendants do when planes aren't in the air. The airline's latest offer included a 38% increase in total compensation, including benefits and pensions, over four years, that it said "would have made our flight attendants the best compensated in Canada." But the union pushed back, saying the proposed 8% raise in the first year didn't go far enough because of inflation.

National Association of Home Builders seeks federal intervention to block state's looming gas appliance ban — here's what's happening
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the New York State Builders Association (NYSBA) submitted a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi to delay or prevent the impending ban on dirty fuel appliances that is set to start in 2026, NAHB announced. What's happening? In 2023, New York lawmakers enacted a new proposal, the All-Electric Buildings Law, that would ban gas stoves from being used in new buildings statewide. The ban affects new buildings that are seven stories or less starting on January 1, 2026, and all new buildings on January 1, 2029. On July 23, 2025, the federal court for the Northern District of New York upheld this ban, making it "the first statewide law that restricts natural gas use in new buildings." However, the joint letter from the NAHB and NYSBA has asked the federal government to "investigate and pursue legal action to delay, postpone, or preempt New York State's impending statewide ban on fossil fuel appliances and infrastructure in new buildings," as the letter read. "The gas ban violates core constitutional principles of interstate commerce by attempting to dictate national energy usage through state-level restrictions," the cosigners wrote. NAHB noted the pending federal lawsuit, Mulhern Gas Co. vs Rodriguez et al, that challenges the constitutionality of the gas ban as a reason to halt the impending deadline for the New York state ban. "We stand ready to assist your office in defending the rule of law and ensuring that states like New York do not impose coercive environmental mandates on the nation as a whole," the writers concluded in the letter. Why is this letter important? "I'm excited that we are finally tackling, statewide, our largest source of fossil-fuel emissions," NY state assemblymember Emily Gallagher said. According to a 2024 report from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, buildings account for 31% of the entire state's pollution, more than any other sector, including transportation and electricity. As the Environmental Protection Agency notes, natural gas from heating and cooking releases harmful gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Gas stoves increase the risk of asthma and other respiratory illnesses. The harmful pollution from gas stoves also causes the most damage to communities of color and low-income groups, according to the EPA. Should the government ban gas stoves? Yes Only in new buildings Only in restaurants No way Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. "Numerous studies … show that both air pollution and climate change disproportionately impact low-income communities and communities of color," said the director of policy and legislative affairs at WE ACT, Lonnie Portis. She added that the gas ban "is a significant step forward for environmental and climate justice." If the federal government does respond to the NAHB letter halting or ending the New York state mandate, then gas stoves can continue to be used in new buildings, exposing harmful pollutants to residents and children and impacting air quality. What's being done about gas stoves? While the federal government hasn't responded to the letter from the NAHB and the NYSBA, you can still help counteract the harmful effects of gas stoves by switching to an electric or induction stove. Induction stoves use a magnetic field to heat instead of natural gas, so an induction stove helps eliminate the need for gas and the pollution that comes with it. According to the U.S Department of Energy, induction stoves also cook 20-40% faster than gas stoves, which can save you time and money on energy costs. "Induction is so much safer and so much cleaner than gas," said popular online chef, Erica Wides. Through the Inflation Reduction Act, you can get up to $840 off the cost of an induction stove in tax credits. Even if you can't install a new induction stove due to financial constraints or because you rent, plug-in induction stoves are available at relatively cheap prices. While the future of the All-Electric Buildings Law in New York is uncertain, the passage of the act was a success in the eyes of the Northeast region director at Food & Water Watch, Alex Beauchamp. "When New Yorkers come together … we can win even in the face of opponents with an almost-limitless budget," Beauchamp said. "That is how we won this bill. It's also how we are going to continue the fight to get fossil fuels out of all the existing buildings in the state."

I'm a psychologist who coaches day traders. Here's why many fail and what I tell them to do instead
Andrew Menaker is a psychologist who now coaches day traders on and off Wall Street. Menaker thinks many traders struggle for a common set of reasons, like having too big an ego. A day trader himself, he has a few tips for people — literally — trying to get in on the trade. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Andrew Menaker, a psychologist and a day trading coach based in San Francisco. It has been edited for length and clarity. First of all, I had never, ever planned on becoming a trading psychology coach. In fact, many years ago, I never knew anything about markets. I think I had one econ class in undergrad. That was it. I actually started my career at the US Navy as an independent psychological consultant. My job was to work with agencies like the NCIS, the FBI, and the Secret Service and to help with things like threat assessments and hostage negotiations. I felt like an impostor, coming right out of grad school, but I seemed to be a natural for it. I got very lucky. Wells Fargo heard about my reputation in the Navy, and, after a post-doc internship with them, I was hired as a psychological consultant on their trading desk. Again, I felt like an impostor — no background in finance, brand new Ph.D. Here I am, green behind the ears. But the people at Wells Fargo saw something in me. My very first clients were institutional desk traders who were moving hundreds of millions of dollars at the push of a button. It was the first time I had been exposed to trading. After several years of consulting on Wall Street, I started trading on my own. It was the '90s in San Francisco during the dot-com bubble. Stocks were starting to race up. The market bug bit, and I thought, "Oh my gosh, this is something for me. I've got to do this for myself." Back in those days, all stocks were going up, so it was kind of easy. My brokerage account went from $25,000 to $150,000 over a six-month period, and I was featured in a book about my trading success. I still trade today. Now, I run my own coaching practice, where I work with traders of all sorts — Wall Street traders, prop traders, and even retail traders, some of whom are aiming to go full-time. People usually come to me with some kind of trading issue: "I can't follow my plan." "I'm having a hard time accepting losses." "I'm over-trading." What many people don't realize is that they're not just trading in a vacuum, whether they're on a bank desk or in a hedge fund or trading their own money. Your whole life comes with you into every trade, whether you consciously realize it or not. My job is to help people understand that. I call it trading your "inner market." It's comprised of biological influences — your sleep, your hormone levels — as well as your emotions — your thoughts, your memories, your experiences in life, how people see you, and how you want to be seen by others. When a trader understands how their inner market operates, they start to see the market on the screen differently. By default, I end up becoming a life coach for many of my clients. I'm helping them, not just with their trading, but with marriages, divorces, having children, all kinds of stuff. Here are some of the most common issues I see hold traders back — and what I recommend traders do instead. Big ego When I was featured in a book about my trading success, I was one of 16 top traders that was featured. That really puffed up my ego. But within weeks of that book coming out, my trading went downhill. I had the biggest drawdown of my career. I talk about this often with my clients. I call it the recognition trap. The fame and the pressure that comes with it can smell trouble for your performance, and that certainly happened to me. Some of my clients might know that their ego is too big. But it often requires somebody else — someone credible that they trust — to actually point it out to them. Too aggressive Around 70%-80% of my retail clients are too aggressive in taking risks. They tend to put on too many trades. They tend to be impulsive. They can't wait for the moment when their plan says they should be getting into the market. And, when they lose money, they want to make it back as quickly as possible. So they start revenge trading, which usually makes things worse. Too scared There are some clients who are very frozen-deer-in-the-headlights. I see this often when I work with traders who are software engineers. Their background is all about precision, black and white, right or wrong. Unless it's perfect, they're not going to want to pull the trigger. Well, markets are never perfect. They're kind of messy. So people who tend to be more on the risk-averse side, they tend to be the under-traders. Solutions Journaling. All traders should be keeping what I call a real-time emotion journal. Ask yourself questions while you're engaged with the market. What am I feeling right now? Why am I feeling this way? When I feel this way, what do I typically do? Write that out and answer it. Many traders get pulled into the market. They're staring at the screen and feel that they have no choice but to execute the trade. But you always have a choice. This type of reflection can help people recognize when they're under pressure. They don't have to hit the button so automatically. Regulate your nervous system. When you're feeling anxious, the limbic system will generate the flight, fight, or freeze response. We all have it. But that instinct often translates into hitting the button on your keyboard at the wrong time. If you can relax, the response won't be quite as extreme. You can downregulate your nervous system by tracking heart rate variability with a monitor. If you don't have that, you can simply take slow, long breaths when you're under pressure. Be aware of your health. When I take on a new client, I explore their physiology with them. What's your diet like? What's your exercise routine? How much sleep are you getting? All of that filters into how we see the market and how we interact with it. If you didn't sleep much last night, be really careful about putting on trades. I've seen it with myself and my clients. There's a correlation between sleep deprivation and sloppy trading. Are you a day trader and want to share your story?
