Air Canada is offering flight attendants half of their hourly rates to do this work; the union is demanding their full hourly amount. A new survey finds three-in-five, or 59%, say Air Canada providing full hourly wages for all aspects of the flight attendants' work is most important to them, while 41% say keeping airfares low should be the priority. However, more frequent fliers — those who fly three times or more in the last year — are evenly split with 51% siding with flights attendants' demands, and the other half more focused on not seeing the increased costs of such compensation passed along to them. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The survey found 34% say they don't want to see airfare increases, even if it means boosting flight attendants' compensation, while 29% would accept a price increase of less than five per cent on their ticket. The poll says 14% say they would pay 5% or more if it meant flight attendants were paid as soon as they clocked in for their shifts while 74% support federal legislation to require airlines to pay employees when they report for their shift as scheduled with 84% describing the current conditions as 'unfair.'

The Angus Reid Institute conducted an online survey from Aug. 14-15 with 1,507 Canadian adults and a probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/- 2.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Fête nationale marked Montreal's hottest June day ever, breaking 61-year-old record
Tuesday's Fête nationale holiday was the hottest June day in Montreal since records started. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) says temperatures hit 35.6 C, breaking the all-time high for June set 61 years ago. The previous monthly high of 35 C was set on June 30, 1964, recorded at Montreal's Trudeau Airport, where records have been kept since 1942. As Montreal sweltered, heat and humidity also enveloped much of Ontario and the eastern half of the United States, where major cities like New York City, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston all recorded temperatures above 38 C. The U.S. National Weather Service expected dozens of places to tie or set new daily temperature records on Tuesday.
