What to know if your Air Canada flight gets canceled
Summer travelers are facing uncertainty as the clock winds down on a possible strike by Air Canada flight attendants, which the airline said would force it to cancel almost all of its scheduled flights as soon as Saturday. The Canadian carrier on Thursday began what it described as a 'phased wind down' of most operations that included multiple flight cancellations. Air Canada said it was suspending its schedule and trying to get passengers booked with other airlines to limit disruptions if members of its cabin crews walk off the job. Both the union that represents about 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants and the airline say disagreements over key issues, including pay raises, have brought contract talks to a standstill. A complete shutdown of the country's largest airline threatens to impact about 130,000 people a day. Here's what to know about the rights of passengers and airline consumer protections: Impacted passengers will be notified Air Canada said it would reach out via email or text to let customers know if their flights are canceled. The cancellations on Thursday included some long-haul overseas flights. By the end of Friday, the airline expects to cancel 500 flights. Flight attendants are threatening to strike at 1 a.m. ET Saturday if they don't have a new contract by then. If the walkout happens, the airline said it would suspend all of its Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flights, but not the regional Air Canada Express flights operated by Jazz Aviation and PAL Airlines. How long the airline's planes will be grounded remains to be seen. Air Canada Chief Operating Officer Mark Nasr said the decision to lock out the union members even if it meant halting flights would help facilitate an orderly restart, 'which under the best circumstances will take a full week to complete.' A complete grounding would affect 25,000 Canadians a day who traveled abroad and may become stranded. You have options if your flight is canceled Passengers whose travel is 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. But it warned that it could not guarantee immediate rebooking because flights on other airlines are already full 'due to the summer travel peak.' Passengers with the flexibility to reschedule their travel plans can also rebook their flights for dates between Aug. 21 and Sept. 12 at no additional cost, Air Canada said. The airline says that under federal regulations, flight cancellations caused by a strike or lockout are considered outside the carrier's control, meaning customers are not eligible for compensation for food and lodging expenses incurred during the labor dispute. Most of the union voted to strike 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. By the end of July, the union put it to a vote, and 99.7% approved a strike. The union on Wednesday gave Air Canada a 72-hour strike notice. The airline responded with a so-called lockout notice, saying it would prevent the flight attendants from working on Saturday. The union said it rejected a proposal from the airline to enter a binding arbitration process that would have prevented flight attendants from walking off the job, saying it prefers to negotiate a deal that its members can then vote on. Arielle Meloul-Wechsler, Air Canada's head of human resources, said the company was weighing all of its options, including asking for government intervention. Negotiations break down over pay Both the union and the airline say 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 said its latest offer included a 38% increase in total compensation, including benefits and pensions over four years. But the union pushed back, saying the proposed 8% raise in the first year didn't go far enough because of inflation. Vancouver-based flight attendant Henly Larden, who has worked for Air Canada since 2017, said the union also won't back down on its goal to get flight attendants paid for the time they're on the ground. Larden, 33, called it a 'very archaic expectation' to work for free during the boarding process. 'Just because it's a past practice doesn't mean here in 2025 that it's OK or it's right, and we want to change that going forward,' she said.

LILLEY: Carney silent as China blasts Canada's canola industry
It's an industry bigger that the biggest in Ontario and yet the Carney Liberals are silent as China attacks our producers. Get the latest from Brian Lilley straight to your inbox Canola crop field in full blossom near Leader, Sask. Photo by Larry MacDougal / THE CANADIAN PRESS Canola, the yellow flowering plant that gives so much colour to prairie fields as you drive across the country, is worth more as an industry than auto, steel and aluminum combined. You wouldn't know that based on the actions, and lack of reactions, from the Carney government. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

Create Account China just slapped Canadian canola seed with a 75.8% tariff on top of existing tariffs of 109% on canola oil and canola meal. This is a product that has an economic impact of $43 billion per year for Canada's economy. You would think that this would result in outrage from Canadians, especially the Elbows Up Brigade that are forever lamenting Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and auto production. There has been no statement from Prime Minister Mark Carney, his industry minister Melanie Joly has been silent and the statement from his ministers in charge of agriculture and international trade was weak at best. 'Canada is deeply disappointed with China's decision to implement provisional anti-dumping duties in its self-initiated investigation into imports of canola seed from Canada,' said a statement from ministers Heath MacDonald and Maninder Sidhu.

Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. China takes about $5 billion worth of canola products each year and is our second biggest export market after the United States. Is the Carney government refusing to take the same kind of strong stance they do with other industries because this is a product grown on the prairies, far from the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal triangle that runs Canada's political and media establishment or is this because they can't scream Orange Man Bad and yell about Donald Trump? 'Of course,' Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said when asked if he thought the Carney government would have responded by now if China had tariffed an Ontario or Quebec product. 'I mean this, this Liberal government couldn't care less about the West. They disrespect its main industries,' Poilievre added, 'Liberals don't care about Western farmers and Western producers.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Poilievre asked why the federal government was standing behind the financing of the decision by the B.C. government to buy four ships from China. B.C. Ferries, an entity that is wholly owned by the British Columbia government is buying four new ferries from a state owned Chinese shipyard and the federal government is financing the deal. 'I believe the first thing we should do is cancel the billion dollar federal loan,' Poilievre said Thursday in Saskatoon. 'Mark Carney is giving a billion dollars of ship building contracts through a taxpayer funded loan to the Chinese government and the Chinese economy. That is crazy at a time when they're targeting our farmers.' Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe was trying earlier this week, to no avail, to explain how important this crop is to Canada's economy. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'We've estimated about 12 million acres of canola seeded in Saskatchewan just this year,' Moe said. Read More 'To put this in context, this $43 to $45 billion canola industry, Canadian canola industry that we have employing just over 200,000 people, that is significantly larger than the steel industry, the aluminum industry and the car manufacturing industry combined, it's about the same size as the Canadian forestry industry, of which we saw significant supports for just this past week.' Despite their size, despite their impact on the economy, despite the jobs on the line, the canola industry hasn't seen any elbows go up, they haven't seen the supports offered to steel or forestry. The Carney government has been near mute on this file, in part I believe because they don't win enough seats in Western Canada, in particular Saskatchewan. Western alienation, western separatism is a real and growing issue and one that the Carney government needs to deal with. Not giving the same support to a major industry because it is based in an area the Liberals don't do well in won't solve the problem. Neither will the fact that more support has been offered to the electric vehicle industry, which still doesn't really exist in Canada, than has been offered to a very real and thriving canola industry. Canada needs better than this. RECOMMENDED VIDEO Toronto & GTA Columnists World Sunshine Girls Toronto Blue Jays

CUPE NL Stands in Solidarity with Air Canada Flight Attendants
CUPE NL Stands in Solidarity with Air Canada Flight Attendants For more information, please contact: Sherry Hillier President, CUPE Newfoundland & Labrador 709-765-2996 Taylor Johnston CUPE Atlantic Communications Representative tjohnston@ Haseena Manek CUPE Atlantic Communications Representative hmanek@ CUPE Newfoundland and Labrador stands in solidarity with flight attendants employed by Air Canada and demands the government respect their right to strike. "It's absolutely disgraceful that so much necessary and vital work flight attendants do before and after each and every flight is unpaid," said CUPE Newfoundland and Labrador President Sherry Hillier. "No one should be working for free. Full stop." Flight attendants are only paid when the plane is moving, and work as many as 35 unpaid hours a week performing vital duties that ensure the safe and smooth operation of each flight. Now, instead of paying flight attendants for the work they do, Air Canada is threatening to lock out their employees and disrupt the travel plans of thousands of Canadians. Our elected representatives must support workers' rights to free and fair negotiations and collective job action. These rights are protected under both federal and provincial legislation and have been affirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada. If our lawmakers at the highest level have determined the right to strike to be "indispensable," Air Canada must respect that. "Air Canada is manufacturing a crisis instead of coming to the table and bargaining in good faith," continued Hillier. "It's clear they hope the federal government will step in just like they did with Canada Post and force flight attendants back to work. We can't let that happen. We need to stand with flight attendants, as we do with all workers, and protect our Charter guaranteed right to strike." :so/cope491 This story was originally published August 14, 2025 at 3:34 PM.
