Air Canada Flight Attendants Defy Return-to-Work Order, Grounding Flights Worldwide

Passengers are eligible for refunds under federal rules that exclude compensation for incidental expenses.

Urban Retreat Derma Spa, co-owned by Michelle and Dave Gibeault, is Winnipeg’s largest skincare boutique, offering personalized, results-driven treatments and advanced technology for all skin types, making it a go-to spot for fall recovery and renewal.

26 Market, a beloved stationery and lifestyle shop in Winnipeg’s Exchange District, has grown from a tiny closet-sized space into a thriving community hub for paper, pens, and design-driven goods, celebrating its fifth anniversary this fall.
Phyllis Sutherland, owner of Ponderosa Pines Campground near the Hopewell Rocks, said her campground has not seen cancellations because of provincial restrictions on fires and forest activity, but she has heard of other campgrounds seeing cancelled site reservations.

Overview

  • The Canada Industrial Relations Board ordered a return to work by 2 p.m. ET on Sunday, but the union representing more than 10,000 flight attendants said members would remain on strike.
  • Air Canada suspended its restart plan and cancelled about 240 flights on Sunday, then kept operations halted Monday morning as picket lines continued.
  • The airline said it aimed to resume service Monday evening, yet its booking page showed all Air Canada and Rouge flights cancelled until further notice, and it warned a full recovery will take several days.
  • Travellers reported being stranded and paying for hotels, meals and alternate tickets themselves, with the carrier offering refunds or no‑fee rebooking but no incidental compensation under federal passenger rules.
  • In parallel, China’s new tariff on Canadian canola, Canada’s steep duties on Chinese EVs, a sentencing precedent affecting non‑citizens and a B.C. Indigenous title ruling drew fresh political scrutiny.
