Air Canada’s plans to resume operations on Sunday were suspended after the flight attendants’ union defied a government-ordered return to work, impacting approximately 130,000 travelers daily. The Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) intervened and ordered staff back to work, but the union, representing 10,000 flight attendants, refused. The union plans to challenge the order, citing unfairness, while the airline has extended the existing collective agreement’s term. Air Canada has now rescheduled flights to commence on Monday.

In response to pressure from the Trump administration, Eli Lilly & Co. has increased prices for its diabetes and anti-obesity drugs, including Mounjaro, in Canada and the UK. The company is aligning prices in these markets to offset potential lower revenue in the United States, where the administration aims to reduce drug costs. Consequently, the wholesale price of Mounjaro has more than doubled in Canada, with the Kwikpen format now costing up to $773 per dose depending on the dosage, which has raised concerns about accessibility. Although Lilly supports the administration’s goal of maintaining the US as a leader in biopharmaceutical research, the company does not support tariffs, which could raise costs and limit patient access.

China has imposed a preliminary 75.8 per cent tariff on Canadian canola, following an anti-dumping investigation launched last year in response to Canada’s tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.

This move follows Canada’s earlier imposition of a 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, which is set for review. The Canola Council of Canada maintains that Canadian canola trade with China adheres to international rules.

As part of a multinational effort to address the escalating hunger crisis in Gaza, Canada deployed a CC-130J Hercules aircraft to airdrop approximately 9,800 kilograms of humanitarian aid on Monday, marking the first time the Canadian Armed Forces participated in such operations. The airdrop, part of a broader initiative involving several countries, aimed to alleviate the severely restricted access to essential aid within the Palestinian territory. While the aid was a symbolic gesture, humanitarian organizations acknowledge that airdrops are less effective than land-based deliveries. Canada’s move comes amid increasing international pressure to address the humanitarian crisis, and is working towards a two-state solution.
