Some Air Canada flights to be cancelled today as clock ticks toward work stoppage
Some Air Canada flights that were scheduled to take off today will be cancelled as the airline braces for a work stoppage this weekend. The union that represents around 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants is poised to strike just before 1 a.m. on Saturday, as the airline also plans to lock out those workers. Air Canada says it will begin cancelling flights today, with more disruptions Friday and a complete stoppage by Saturday if it doesn't reach a last-minute deal with the flight attendants' union. It says customers whose flights are cancelled will be eligible for a full refund, and it has also made arrangements with other Canadian and foreign carriers to provide alternative travel options "to the extent possible." Meanwhile, the airline says it has requested government-directed arbitration. The federal government has not indicated whether it will intervene in the dispute, as federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu said in a statement Tuesday that she encourages both parties "to stay at the table until a deal is found." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 14, 2025. Companies in this story: (TSX:AC)

Canadians are torn about whether to put their elbows up or down in U.S. trade war: poll
OTTAWA — Canadians are split on whether Canada should go into trade negotiations with the U.S. with elbows up or down when it comes to retaliatory tariffs, according to a new poll. Article content The Leger/Postmedia poll suggests that 45 per cent of Canadians still believe Canada's position vis-à-vis U.S. President Donald Trump should be 'elbows up.' That means that Canada should impose counter-tariffs on all new U.S. border levies, even if it risks further retaliation from the Trump administration. Article content Article content But on the other hand, 41 per cent of respondents said they'd prefer Canada's response be 'measured' and focus more on getting a new trade deal even if it includes some tariffs on Canadian goods. Article content Article content The split among Canadians puts Prime Minister Mark Carney in somewhat of an 'awkward position' as he must navigate conflicting views on how to deal with an erratic and unpredictable Trump administration, said Leger executive vice-president Andrew Enns. Article content On the one hand are those who still believe in the 'eye for an eye' approach with the U.S., and on the other hand is the growing number of Canadians who favour a slightly more conciliatory and measured approach. Article content 'I think there's been a bit of a tempering, a bit of a diminishment of the 'elbows up' aggressive approach. It's still very present, and you know, not to be ignored,' Enns said. Article content 'But I certainly would say that there's a stronger sort of view now starting to show up in Canadian opinion that says, 'Well hold on here, maybe we ought to think this through, let's not be hasty.' Article content Article content The new survey is in stark contrast to polling just six months ago, when a substantial 73 per cent of respondents told Leger they supported dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs against any U.S. border levy on Canadian goods. Article content Article content For Enns, it means many Canadians — and particularly Gen Xers and Boomers over 55 years old who expressed particularly fierce Canadian patriotism earlier this year — are having a moment of 'sober second thought' as the trade war with the U.S. drags on. Article content The shift in public sentiment could also be a reflection of the change in tone from Carney himself. During the Liberal leadership race in February, Carney said he supported suggestions of dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs. Article content But since becoming prime minister, he has not retaliated to any of Trump's new tariffs on such key Canadian sectors as steel, aluminum and automobiles. In fact, he suggested last week that Canada may remove some tariffs on U.S. imports if it's beneficial to Canadian industry.

Las Vegas is hurting as tourism drops. Are Canadians behind the Sin City slump?
After doing gangbuster business in the post-COVID era, Las Vegas is in the midst of a slump, with the number of tourists down sharply as Canadians in particular avoid Sin City amid bilateral bad blood over trade. The total number of visitors is off more than 11 per cent year-over-year, according to data from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, one of the most dramatic declines in recent memory outside of the pandemic. Airline figures reveal there's been an even steeper decline among Canadians going to the desert gambling mecca. The number of Air Canada passengers dropped by 33 per cent in June compared to the same month last year, airport figures show. WestJet, the largest Canadian air carrier at the region's Harry Reid International Airport, saw a similar 31 per cent drop. The decline was even more dramatic for low-cost carrier Flair, which saw its passenger numbers fall by a stunning 62 per cent. Some U.S. travellers are also avoiding the self-described entertainment capital of the world — due, in part, to a backlash over higher fees and fewer perks for some gamblers. But resort operators say the Canadian boycott has been a notable hit to the bottom line. On a quarterly conference call with investors last week, MGM Resorts president and CEO Bill Hornbuckle said the number of Canadian visitors started to fall earlier this year — around the time U.S. President Donald Trump launched his trade war — and there hasn't been much of a rebound. That company owns some of the city's top properties, such as Aria, Bellagio and the Cosmopolitan and part of the NHL rink, T-Mobile Arena. "International visitation has been an issue," Hornbuckle said. "Particularly earlier in the year, with Canada, we host a lot of hockey games, and we saw visitation down. And I think — I don't think, I know — it's still down," he said. Thomas Reeg, the CEO of Caesars Entertainment, another major resort and gaming company that owns properties up and down the Strip, pointed to Canadians as one reason for the company's disappointing second-quarter results. "International business, particularly Canadian, is softer," he said on a call with stock analysts. Explaining why fewer rooms were filled with guests over the last three months, Reeg said, "Canadians are a significant piece of that." Local union leaders have even taken to calling the dip in Canadian tourists the "Trump slump." Canadians cite Trump's 'disrespect' Winnipeg resident Martyn Daly is one of those visitors who's staying away. In an interview with CBC News, Daly said he and his wife typically go to Vegas once a year, but he can't bring himself to do it this year with the trade war raging. "We're pretty upset with what's going on in the U.S. and the disrespect that's been shown by the Trump administration towards Canada. I just feel obliged to do something — and one little thing I can do is not patronizing a place we enjoy," he said. "It's not a good idea to be spending any of our hard-earned money in the States. I can spend it elsewhere with a clear conscience." He's also leery of what he may face at the Canada-U.S. border amid reports some travellers are being held up for questioning or, in some rare instances, detention. Guy Kerbrat, of Regina, cancelled a long-planned trip to Vegas to see an AC/DC concert to protest Trump's treatment of Canada. "The thought of going down there right now — it doesn't make you feel warm and fuzzy. We just couldn't do it," Kerbrat said in an interview. "My wife and I, we are Vegas-goers. It's a destination we enjoy. But we looked at each other and said, 'We can't support Trump and these policies that are so anti-Canadian.' I hate to hurt the people, the workers who aren't supportive of what Trump's doing, but we had to take a stand," he said. Economic hardship There's evidence that Nevadans are facing some economic challenges as a result of these disruptions. Nevada's unemployment rate, at 5.4 per cent, is the highest among the states and second only to Washington, D.C., where there have been Trump-induced federal layoffs. One of Nevada's U.S. senators, Catherine Cortez Masto, was part of a bipartisan delegation to Ottawa last month to meet with Prime Minister Mark Carney to try and patch up relations amid what she called "the chaos of the Trump presidency." The Democrat said cratering tourism is "having an impact" and she wants to see "de-escalation" to normalize visitor numbers to the Silver State. Local politicians have good reason to be anxious about the Canadian travel boycott, said Stephen Miller, an economics professor at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. As the director of the university's business and economic research centre, he crunched the numbers and found Canadians contributed $3.6 billion US to the local economy last year. Canadian spending supported some 43,000 jobs in the region, more than those employed in the manufacturing sector, Miller said. That $3.6-billion figure comes close to the economic output of the local Nellis Air Force base — and that's saying something, given it's one of the largest and most important military installations in the U.S., with some 15,000 personnel. "The Canadian numbers have gone down dramatically and it's an area of concern for the casinos," Miller said. "After all, the main goal of the resort industry is to put heads in beds." He expects more promotional activity in the weeks ahead to try and break the patriotic boycott. "You might get people saying, 'Oh wait a minute, that's a really tempting offer. Let me reconsider my decision.'" Daly said he's already received "exceptionally good" offers with low room rates to try and lure him back. But he's not budging. "I know Canada is small but we do have a voice, and I think it's great that we're using it," he said. "I think the only thing that Trump seems to understand is when people take action that hits them in the pocketbook."
