Passengers continue to face travel woes amid Air Canada flight attendants' strike
Travellers wait outside the Air Canada departure gates as flight attendants strike at Pearson International Airport in Toronto on Saturday, Aug. 16, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sammy Kogan Thousands of passengers are facing another day of travel disruptions as Air Canada flight attendants continue to strike despite a federal return-to-work order. Lisa Smith and Nicole Power, two sisters from Newfoundland, say they were visiting San Francisco and were initially told two days ago that their Air Canada return flight wouldn't be impacted. Smith says they were then told yesterday the flight was cancelled, and Air Canada rebooked them on a competitor flight but they'll be stuck in Montreal until Wednesday before they can get back to the East Coast. Meanwhile, Luca Pozzoli says he's trying to get to Italy but his flight was cancelled shortly after he arrived at the Montreal airport, and now he's considering driving to Boston and flying from there instead. This morning, the Canada Industrial Relations Board declared the strike by the company's 10,000 flight attendants unlawful and has ordered the union's leadership to direct its members to return to work. However, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents the flight attendants, has ignored the edict and challenged the CIRB order in Federal Court.

Lisa Smith killed the ‘blanding' trend. Now she has another plan to upend branding
Seven years ago, your grocer's dairy section became visually fantastical. You might not remember how sterile it used to be: the shelves were once dominated by similarly drab, white Greek yogurt cups that delivered on practical, nutritional performance. But truckload by truckload, the shelves transformed into a ripely colorful, whimsical, and idyllic play land of Chobani's making. The company had just undergone a monumental rebrand under the direction of designers Lisa Smith and Leland Maschmeyer, and they doled out a new design world in thousands of 5.3 ounce portions. Who knew a product like high-protein Greek yogurt could turn design off minimalism? But soon, a cohort of expressive, personality-driven, maximalist copycats emerged. Cooper Black was the new black. Smith had never been averse to stylistic shake-ups, if a brand mission calls for it. She'd rebranded the Met while at Wolff Olins; later at the design agency JKR, she satiatingly rebranded Burger King. Following six years as global executive creative director JKR, where she also rebranded Mozilla, Fanta, Impossible, and Walmart, Smith is moving to the smaller, multifunctional creative studio Uncommon as its first-ever global chief design officer, with another simple but groundbreaking idea: to expand what ' branding ' encompasses. Here, Smith explains why holistic teams that include advertising and marketing creatives are the real way to push design forward, why handoff should happen after launch day, and how she plans to build a renegade team that goes 'beyond just delivering guidelines.' 'I've always been a little bit messy,' she says. This conversation has been condensed and edited.

The World's Best IPA—According To The International Beer And Cider Awards
IPA subcategories dominated entries at the International Beer and Cider Awards this year. getty The best IPA gold medal winners in various IPA subcategories were recently announced at this year's International Beer and Cider Awards. In early June, judges tasted 1436 entries at this year's competition held in Idaho Falls. The competition divided IPAs into 10 categories that celebrate a diverse range of hop-forward beers ranging from English-style IPAs to experimental IPAs and the ever-popular hazy IPAs. As expected, breweries entered more IPAs in the category than other styles. 'IPA entries continue to dominate the competition,' Lisa Smith, vice president of the North American Brewers Association, which runs the competition, told me via email. As is standard for beer competitions, only three medals are awarded per category: gold, silver and bronze. Though the competition is open to breweries across the globe, American-made craft beers dominated the IPA category. West Coast breweries had a good showing but were not the only states represented, as can sometimes be the case with IPA categories at beer competitions. One thing I love about the International Beer and Cider Awards is the diversity of IPA offerings mentioned above. I remain a big fan of the IPA style overall, but even I grow tired of endless variations of hazy IPA offerings, though very few things in life beat a well-done one. The IPAs below vary in taste, style and appearance but were all deemed the best of the best in their respective categories. Prickly Pear Lewis & Clark Brewing Company Helena, MT Helper Beer, Mindset extra Pale ale Helper Beer Helper, Utah Citra Starburst, TapRoom Beer Co., San Diego, CA Punk Rock Time IPA, Baerlic Brewing Co., Portland, OR Wastelandia, Grains of Wrath Camas, WA Breakside Kyoto Soul, Breakside Brewery Milwaukie, Portland, OR Featherweight Light IPA, Mother Earth Brew Co., Nampa, Idaho Take Me to the River, Meanwhile Brewing Co., Austin, Texas Albumurky, Boxing Bear Brewing Co., Albuquerque, NM Fukiphino, Redrock Brewing, Salt Lake City, Utah Unfortunately, many of these IPA award winners are regional specialties. If you're interested in a particular IPA, however, you should contact the brewery and see if they ship their beer or have plans to distribute to an area near you. Most of these breweries are also located in wonderful places to visit, so it's a good excuse for a beer-centric trip. I'm also a big believer that the best IPA is often the one that's brewed closest to you. So if a certain sub-type of IPA appeals to you, tell the staff at your local brewery and see if they make anything like it or have recommendations for where you might find it nearby. As I've said before, the best IPAs I've had include award winning brews as well as obscure IPAs I've found fresh on draft in taprooms near my home.
