Planning to fly Air Canada? What you need to know about a potential strike looming

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. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christopher Katsarov 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.

The CBSA launches an investigation into the alleged dumping of oil country tubular goods from Mexico, the Philippines, South Korea, Türkiye and the United States of America Français

OTTAWA, ON, Aug. 11, 2025 /CNW/ - The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced today the initiation of an investigation into whether certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) are being sold in the Canadian market at unfair prices. The investigation focuses on imports from a small number of large steel producers operating in or exporting from Mexico, the Philippines, South Korea, Türkiye, and the United States. These practices, if confirmed, may distort fair competition and impact Canadian producers. The CBSA's investigation follows a complaint filed by two Canadian producers: EVRAZ Inc. NA Canada and Welded Tube of Canada Corporation. Under the Special Import Measures Act, the CBSA is required to initiate an investigation when a complaint meets the legislative requirements, including sufficient evidence of dumping and resulting injury. In this case, the complainants allege that certain imports—some supplied by multinational firms, including those with operations in Canada—are being dumped in the Canadian market, causing material injury. They cite impacts such as lost market share, price undercutting, reduced profitability, and job losses within the domestic industry. The CBSA and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) both play a role in the investigation. The CITT will begin a preliminary inquiry to determine whether the imports are harming Canadian producers and will issue a decision by October 10, 2025. Concurrently, the CBSA will investigate whether the imports are being sold in Canada at unfair prices, and will make a preliminary decision by November 10, 2025. Currently, there are 158 special import measures in force in Canada, covering a wide variety of industrial and consumer products. In 2024, these measures have directly helped to protect approximately 45,000 Canadian jobs and $18.4 billion in Canadian production. Quick facts OCTG is comprised of oil and gas well casing, used to prevent the walls of bored holes from collapsing and tubing used to convey liquids and gas to the surface. For more product information, please refer to the CBSA's Anti-dumping and countervailing webpage. In accordance with the product definition provided in the complaint, the subject goods under investigation are classified as OCTG: originating in or exported from Mexico and the Philippines originating in Türkiye and exported or produced by, or on behalf of, Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. originating in South Korea and exported or produced by, or on behalf of, Hyundai Steel Company Hyundai Steel originating in the United States of America and exported or produced by, or on behalf of, Tenaris S.A. The Canadian market size for OCTG is estimated to be over $1.81 billion annually. A statement of reasons, with additional details about the investigation, will be available on the CBSA's website within 15 days from the date the investigations are launched. Canada's trade remedy system is designed to ensure that imported goods are priced fairly relative to domestic products. To counteract unfair trade practices, the CBSA has the authority under the Special Import Measures Act to initiate investigations if a complaint is properly documented and impose trade remedy measures when there is evidence that dumping or subsidizing is causing or threatens to cause injury to Canadian producers.
