Urban Market co-owner running for mayor of St. John's
A St. John's business owner has put her name forward as a candidate for the city's mayor, challenging incumbent Danny Breen in the upcoming municipal election. Ivy Hanley is the co-owner of Urban Market 1919 on Lemarchant Road in St. John's. A news release announcing Hanley's candidacy in July said she is offering a "business-driven and community-focused approach to city leadership." According to her campaign's website, the first-time candidate believes that the city is in the middle of an addictions crisis that must be addressed by its council. Hanley also promises to advocate for streamlined development approvals. Her husband and business partner, Greg Hanley, is the owner of Nidus Development Inc., a company with plans to build a 12-storey condo building in the city. The City of St. John's took the Hanleys to court in 2022, alleging the couple did not have a valid occupancy permit for their seasonal store, Christmas House — a separate building next to their Urban Market location. The charge was dropped in 2023 due to a lack of evidence, and the city appealed. It was thrown out of Supreme Court in January after a three-year legal battle. Hanley wrote in a July news release that she has a goal of forming positive relationships with businesses, law enforcement, and residents in order to achieve new possibilities. "My ambition is boundless because my belief in St. John's is boundless," she wrote. Nominations for St. John's city council are open between Aug. 28 and Sept. 4. The St. John's municipal election will be held on Oct. 2. Download our free CBC News app to sign up for push alerts for CBC Newfoundland and Labrador. Sign up for our daily headlines newsletter here.

Oilers' Connor McDavid expected to sign shorter-term contract
Oilers' Connor McDavid expected to sign shorter-term contract originally appeared on The Sporting News The next chapter in the Connor McDavid/Edmonton Oilers marriage approaches. According to the '2 Mutts Hockey Podcast," they believe McDavid will sign either a two-year or four-year deal, as the Oilers do not expect him to sign for the full eight years. There is also speculation that the annual average value could rise from $16 million to around $17.5 million. While Edmonton wants McDavid donning its sweater for life, this is not necessarily a bad alternative. The pressure is on the front office to win now while the Oilers remain one of the top teams in the league. No, they are not quite on the Florida Panthers' level, and the two-time defending champions brought everyone back for another run at the Cup. However, reaching four straight Finals is difficult, and while Edmonton winning the Western Conference for a third year in a row is no cakewalk, either, there are just no guarantees that time of year. McDavid on a shorter-term contract means the front office has to continue pushing its chips into the pile and surrounding him with winners. Goaltending is still an issue, and giving out all that money to McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Evan Bouchard, and Darnell Nurse creates depth difficulties. However, the Oilers did add rookies Isaac Howard and Matthew Savoie up front, both of whom can be impact scorers in their first years. Andrew Mangiapane is no slouch in a middle or bottom-six role. A healthy Zach Hyman is crucial, too. Expect Edmonton to stay aggressive with trades and be one of the big buyers at next season's deadline.

Planning to fly Air Canada? What you need to know about a potential strike looming
A potential strike looms as contract talks carry on between Air Canada and the union representing 10,000 of its flight attendants. The outcome of negotiations this week could be critical for summer travellers worried about their upcoming flights. Here's what you need to know ahead of taking off: Will there be a strike? It's too early to say. The Air Canada component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees received a strong strike mandate from its membership after a vote that closed last week, with 99.7 per cent in favour. But, that doesn't mean a strike will happen. The airline downplayed the mandate, calling it a "normal step in the negotiation process" — essentially a tool that gives the union more leverage in contract talks. The union has also said it's optimistic it can avoid a disruption. The two sides returned to the bargaining table on Friday in the hopes of solving the impasse. When would a strike take place? The earliest that flight attendants could potentially walk off the job is Saturday at 12:01 a.m. ET. That deadline comes after a mandatory 21-day "cooling off" period officially expires. The strike mandate is effective for 60 days. When will we know if there is a strike? The union must provide 72-hours notice if it intends to strike. That means it could give notice of a work stoppage by Wednesday at 12:01 a.m. ET if they intend to go on strike on Saturday. Air Canada says it will keep passengers updated on potential disruptions via email and text message. Would all flights be cancelled? Air Canada has said it is "premature to speculate or discuss possible contingencies" in case of a strike. If a strike does occur, it would affect Air Canada's main operations and Air Canada Rouge. Flight attendants working for Jazz and PAL, which operate Air Canada Express flights, are not part of the negotiations. How will I find out either way? Air Canada has said to stay tuned for updates this week. While flights are operating as scheduled so far, it says online that should this change, it will notify customers via email and text message in advance of their travel. For passengers whose itineraries change mid-journey, Air Canada says it will "actively explore all options to keep you travelling, including rebooking with other airlines on your behalf." "If you haven't received an email or text message notification, it's because your itinerary is not impacted," it says. "If you booked your own travel and you want to make sure you didn't miss a notification, take the time to check your junk email folder and your mobile provider's message settings." The airline has also been posting statements to its website regarding developments in the negotiation process. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 11, 2025.
