Overview

  • The flight attendants’ union says it will continue striking after the Canada Industrial Relations Board ordered both parties to return to work by 2 p.m. ET on Aug. 17.
  • Air Canada suspended a planned restart and cancelled about 240 flights, offering full refunds or free rebooking under Canadian passenger protection rules that exclude compensation for incidental expenses.
  • Winnipeg police and Crime Stoppers issued suspect and vehicle images in three cases—a May 16 Main Street break-in, the Aug. 1 theft of sauna trailers from Archibald Street and an Aug. 8 retail assault—appealing for public tips.
  • China’s tariff on Canadian canola and Canada’s high duties on Chinese electric vehicles have escalated a trade dispute that analysts warn could hurt Manitoba farmers and supply chains.
  • A Supreme Court decision permitting lighter sentences for non-citizens to avoid automatic deportation and a B.C. land-title ruling have prompted debate over judicial discretion, immigration policy and property rights.
