- Hundreds of thousands of Air Canada passengers across the country are bracing for a looming pilot's strike. Flights could be impacted this weekend if a deal isn't reached, and negotiations are dead-locked. Economists warn a shutdown could cost the Canadian economy more than $90 million each day. Business leaders are calling on Ottawa to intervene, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's staying out of it. Touria Izri has more.
Plus, after the messy divorce between the federal Liberals and the NDP, there's been more fallout - this time, over the carbon pricing scheme. Trudeau accused NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh of "totally caving into" political pressure from Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives and waffling on the cornerstone of the Liberals' environmental policy. Eric Sorensen on the political hot potato that is carbon pricing in Canada, and why even some experts say it hasn't lived up to expectations.
A court hearing was held in Montreal for the terror suspect arrested last week in Quebec, who was accused of a plot to kill as many Jews as possible in New York City. 20-year-old foreign national Muhammad Shahzeb Khan is facing terror charges in both Canada and the U.S. On Friday, Trudeau defended Canada's security services after the revelations that the accused arrived in Canada in 2023, after obtaining a student visa. Mike Armstrong explains.
Ottawa Public Health has announced a person’s death in August could be attributed to contracting a rare, mosquito-borne illness that has no cure: the eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV), also known as ‘Triple E.’ And while it is exceedingly rare in Canada, experts say it could become more common with a warmer climate. Kyle Benning has more.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is in Washington for high-level talks with U.S. President Joe Biden. Topping the agenda is Ukraine's plea for permission to use western-supplied weapons deep inside Russia. The U.K. has already signalled it's willing to allow Ukraine use of its long-range missiles, but the U.S. has hesitated to loosen restrictions over fears of triggering a wider war. And now, Russian President Vladimir Putin has drawn a red line and warned of consequences. Jackson Proskow reports.
Even scientists need a laugh, after being knee-deep in data or working long hours in a lab or on important research. The annual Ig Nobel awards, handed out for surprising research that's easy to poke fun at, is the perfect example. From training pigeons for missile guidance to scaring dairy cows with cats, it's goofy - but its goal is to get people interested in science. Heidi Petracek on the quirky questions the winners sought to answer.

Yeah...of course he stays out of it..he flies private
Why do you want him to step in? Real Canadians support our unions and want them to fight for our rights, not have Trudeau mandate people to work
What do we need this stupid government for?
Terrorists getting in on student visas because he wants to let everyone in but saying that our security is sound . Also how is the carbon tax helping to save the environment exactly? Isn't that money going straight in his pocket so he can fly private?
P.M's have NO CHOICE. Gov't rules lay that out for all PM's. Harper had the same rules.
No background checks on student visa, so no one should be surprised how this happens.
This is what the Trudeau regime wanted.
@@ElizabethBardy-LeBlanc They had a majority and could ram through any legislation they want.
Give me a break.
Take note that this vid title is straight from corporate media's playbook. Create fear and blame the strikers, not the company. Note that the title does not say "Insufficient pilot pay could cost economy $90M per day" (easy solution? Pay pilots what they deserve and stop the strike).
Yes and No, You are right that the media is twisting the words and creating fear. However, they're not wrong about one thing and that's the economy getting damaged. The air industry in Canada is an Oligopoly (Another words it’s controlled by two big sellers) This destroys business, Potential purchasing from consumers, a unique/efficient transportation becomes slower and waists opportunity costs. And lastly, people will lose money. The workers at Air Canada other then pilots aren’t getting paid, Air Canada loses money and resources which damages the economy only if the industry is controlled by that one company or shared between 2. However if it was a free economy it wouldn’t do anything at all, as the “invisible hand” is punishing companies/business for waiting money, and resources. Hope this helps
I agree about corporate media, but the pilots were offered 30% raise. I'm sorry, I've been working 19 years to have a 28 percent raise. You know the airline will just pass this on to the consumer and then nobody will fly, as it's already very expensive. So then the airline has to get rid of some pilots and this is how it works. 30% raise in one shot does not come very often I'm sorry. We are in a recession.
@@Triggerman2505 Fair enough. Good points.
They make well over two hundred thousand a year………give me a break
@@thevision3502Your info is erroneous. A few do, most don’t. Actually a third of the pilots make under 70K and a quarter of the pilots have a second job in order to make ends meet. That is after decades of training and experience. A bus driver for Air Canada starts at 74K while a Boeing 777 pilot starts at 58K. If all pilots made over 200K/year we wouldn’t be in this situation I can assure you 😂.
What about the people working in small businesses of 5-15 people. My wife started with $7.50 Per Hour 20 years ago when minimum wage was $6.75 and today she just get $18 per hour now minimum wage $17.50 .she is an excellent worker. Owner always threatens by replacing them with students. Will the Government or any organization will come forward to help them. 20 years experience, multi task person, highly intelligent and motivated still not able to make both ends meet. Is it not a great injustice with her. Still having close to minimum wages. Always beg for raise. Never gets every year. Raise is 50 cents that after begging so many times.
Funny how they always try to make the case that worker's wages are too expensive and NEVER talk about the executive compensation packages that are anywhere from 50-100 times what the average worker makes.
This is what class warfare looks like and most people are oblivious.
Don't care,
Air Canada is the worst airline I used.
May Love Peace Prevail In The World....
Jagmeeh sighn is a traitor I don’t know why they put this guy on NDP leadership he is disgraceful for our country
Nothing stops that kind of train. Wow!
Diversity is our stench
Goodbye air Canada
They need more money for already the most frequently delayed airline in the world?
Not a fan of the government but air Canada is the crappiest airline.
Pay the pilots !
flying just got more expensive if they pay them too much.
They earn more than any other pilot in Canada, "the most senior pilots - make between $215,000 and $352,000".
It might not be about wages - there are working conditions to be considered.
The Union can't say anything because they're on a negotiation NDA and the media is just lying.
How will Canadians paying an excessive carbon tax save the environment. China produces 13 trillion tonnes of atmospheric carbon each year more than all industrialized countries combined. China increases its carbon production by more than Canadas total carbon each year. Chinas carbon does not stay in China
Airline tickets are expensive enough, just what is the difference in the wages between their U.S. counterparts not that much is my guess. Don't tell me that pilots in Canada are not receiving great wages already. I think Trudeau is doing the right thing by staying out of it, or else what is the purpose of having a Union in the first place if the Government is going to step in every time a strike action is taken.
Newly trained Pilots start at $55 K a year. 20 yr. Pilots get $175 K a Year. In the USA Double that as an example.
They make more than two hundred thousand a year up to three hundred and seventy five thousand…………anyone siding with a pilot, is a pilot lol
That's what I thought, people are so greedy these days. Most people struggle too put food on the table to feed their families. Pilots should be happy with what they already have.
@@danhansen9340You fell for the trap. While the ultra wealthy accumulate wealth, the media tries to make us fight over the scraps. Just my opinion.
Trudeau seems quite irritated- so are we! With him!
Justinder Trudie will intervene! He can't slow down the arrival of Indians into Canada! Justinder Trudie lives for Indians and Pakistanis! His favourite people on earth!
1:32 then what good are you?
Reminder of reason to nationalize Canada's airline and remind profiteers they should be thankful to be able to profit-greatly providing a service and not act like 'never-ending toll booths'.
Scientists enjoy goofy activities but air pilots are NOT in the mood for laughter...
Unions should be banned. Remember a pilot raise is a union raise. Therefor that's a conflict!
So how do you think we got 40 hour work weeks, and safe workplaces? How do you think europeans who are much more productive and have real time to spend on life and family and friends got their rights? If employees dont feel they benefit from their hard work, do you think they will be productive? Just to let you know, when we had our economic boom in the post war period with a strong middle class, unions and industry coexisted. Just my opinion.
New satallite for better interment more expensive internet you mean
The argument that the AC pilot’s use, all other workers around the world could use but, especially here in Canada.
The sweat and toil of Canadian worker’s, is no less valuable, than that of the workforce anywhere else in the U.S, or the world for that matter. Our toil, our sweat , is equal to anyone else’s .
The valuation is skewed, to whose benefit ? The discount, besides being already being built in to the value of the Canadian dollar ( or devalue ) .
Leaves the worker’s here, always at a loss. If we import a vast majority of the goods that we import, and those goods aren’t discounted for us , as the good’s we manufacture and export to other market’s.
The scale’s are unbalanced. The even goes for interprovincial labor. The minimum wage in one province versus another. One person’s sweat and toil , versus another person’s. Race, gender all come into play how divided and unequal things are.
Artificial intelligence ? Convenient stupidity ?
🇨🇦✌🏼🇨🇦✌🏼🇨🇦🤨
Why does Air Canada🇨🇦 have to go on strike just now anyways
When is a good time to strike? When it doesn't matter and makes the strike pointless?
these union workers are doing all their best to hurt thier employer companies and to cause damages to this Country. IF you are the "hijacked" passengers and you happen to be union workers, please blame yourselves.
Lovely dryrs and color
Who runs it all? Duh🤢🤢🤮
Thankfully law will sleep it all on the final hour so we can all continue wirh our lives.
tell that to Happy Trigger killer with the badge.
Singh is just walking away from you Trudeau. That is the best thing he can do for his NDP party.
He wrecked the Ndp ,Layton would be ashamed of flip flop singh
@@justadildeau Yep. For selfish reasons no less.
How many air Canada strikes would it take to match the economic damage caused by the pandemic response
Canada's pandemic response, including following health measures as well as getting vaccinated, was successful based on the only measure that counts: deaths. US deaths from COVID-19: over 1.1 million. Canadian deaths from COVID-19: over 55,000.
@@darlene2709 "...was successful based on the only measure that counts: deaths."
A number this government, and others, have quietly admitted to gaming since they made no distinction between people dying OF covid and those WITH covid.
Excess death statistics prove that the government policy made things far worse and resulted in many more deaths than was necessary.
The clown wont even try and stop this 90m loss. Fjt
またこないだみたいに何日も続いたら介入するくせに、面白いねカナダって国は。😂
If Canadians want American wages, then why not consider democratically join the US and become the 51st State of America?
When the bow and arrow was invented, it invented cowardice because you never looked your enemy in the eye. This is what the US does now except they use buttons. NO THANK YOU. WE ARE NOT COWARDS
