Concerns rise in Winnipeg as Air Canada labour dispute could see flights grounded
Social Sharing Flight attendants with Air Canada could go on strike as early as this weekend, and that has some travellers in Winnipeg anxious about what that could mean for their travel plans. Newfoundland resident Paula Drover, who travels back and forth between the East Coast and Winnipeg every two weeks for her job, was boarding a plane home at Winnipeg's airport on Wednesday. She said she and many of her co-workers are concerned about whether they will be able to continue to make the trips she says are an integral part of their jobs. "We have to travel," Drover said. "I have to work and I'm needed at work, so I kinda want to get here. "It's going to be work-impacting for sure." Air Canada said on Wednesday it will begin cancelling flights on Thursday ahead of a potential strike that could see more than 10,000 flight attendants walk off the job this weekend. The Canadian Union of Public Employees gave the carrier a requisite 72-hour strike notice overnight after the two sides reached an impasse in negotiations on Tuesday. Should they walk off the job, the country's largest airline says there would be a gradual suspension of flights, before a complete cessation of flying by Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge by the weekend. About 130,000 customers a day could be affected by a disruption, according to Air Canada. Despite her concerns however, Drover says she would support the workers if they do end up on strike. "They deserve fair wages, they work hard," she said. "I fly quite often and they deal with a lot during a flight." Debbie Iwanchuk from Oakbank was travelling from Winnipeg to Scotland on Wednesday for a three-week trip, but said she is now concerned about whether or not she can get back, depending on how long a strike could last. "We've been planning this for six months. I just heard about two weeks ago, so I started to worry about it, and now it looks like it's going to be a strike starting this week," she said. While in Scotland, she said her and her husband will likely be glued to their phones, trying to get the latest updates on the labour dispute before they are scheduled to return. "We'll be checking. I'm sure we'll be able to look through our phones and get the updates on the news and whatever because we have a plan that covers our roaming charges, so we'll be checking." Despite her concerns she said she is in favour of a strike if that's what it takes for flight attendants to get the agreement they are looking for. "I'm all for them getting what they want, upgraded wages and benefits," Iwanchuk said. "They deserve it." CUPE representatives said in response to their strike action, Air Canada issued a notice of lockout to start at 1:30 a.m. ET on Saturday. Air Canada confirmed the lockout on Wednesday.

Could Bitcoin mining be used to heat Vancouver's Kitsilano Pool?
A pitch to use the heat from bitcoin mining to warm the beleaguered Kits Pool is on the agenda at a crypto conference where the mayor will be speaking. Loading the player instance is taking more time than usual Loading the player instance is taking more time than usual A Vancouver group believes it has a solution to address financial and structural issues with the city's popular Kitsilano Pool – Bitcoin mining. Jarret Vaughan, with Kits Pool Swimmers, said he wants the pool to stay open year-round, and to maintain its length during an upcoming rebuilding process, but recognizes it will be very expensive. 'In searching for a solution, what we discovered was that Bitcoin mining produces an enormous amount of heat,' he said. There are organizations such as Burnaby-based MintGreen that make digital boilers that capture heat, Vaughn said, suggesting that extra heat from mining Bitcoin could be used to warm the pool. 'What's really important to understand is that with Bitcoin mining, there is no additional energy needed to heat the pool,' he said. 'Run the system 24/7' Colin Sullivan, the CEO and founder of MintGreen, said depending on a number of factors, the system could generate two Bitcoin per month – and he believes the digital boilers could alter the pool's future. 'The benefit to the city is you have an opportunity to run the system 24/7, 365 and not only not have that be a cost, but have that be a profit centre to heat it as well,' he said. Vaughan, an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business, said he's had discussions with the park board and Mayor Ken Sim about the feasibility of the idea. The city confirmed staff met with the group earlier this year as part of the preliminary feasibility study for the Kitsilano Pool replacement. 'If the city and park board decide to pursue alternative heating technologies in the future, potential providers would be considered through the city's standard procurement process to ensure fairness, transparency and competitiveness,' the city said, in a statement. Greenwashing Werner Antweiler, an economics professor at the University of British Columbia, called the idea an exercise in Bitcoin greenwashing. 'The proponents want to make Bitcoin mining look 'sustainable' even though Bitcoin mining overall is a highly environmentally destructive activity because of its outsized electricity use worldwide,' he said. Antweiler also questioned what the municipality would do if the digital boiler failed to make a profit and had to be shut down. 'Would the municipality be without heating for their pool?' he asked. 'Would they have to replace it with another source? There are too many uncertainties here for a municipality to take on such a risk.' Bitcoin conference Both Vaughan and Sullivan will be discussing this proposal in a panel called 'Heating Kitsilano Pool with Bitcoin Mining,' scheduled this weekend at the Learning Bitcoin conference. Sim will also be speaking at the conference during a talk called 'Bitcoin and the City of Vancouver.' Green Coun. Pete Fry said there's a number of important issues Sim should focus on, and that crypto is not one of them. 'Similar to dismissing the park board, these seem to be the priorities of the mayor that are disconnected from what I think the people of Vancouver are looking for in leadership,' he said. 'That's not crypto investments.' The mayor's office told CTV News: 'Mayor Sim's focus remains on the priorities that matter most to Vancouverites: making our city safer, building more housing, faster, and making life more affordable for all residents.' In December, 2024 City Council passed Sim's motion asking staff to make the city 'bitcoin friendly.' Staff are expected to present this report in the Fall.
