Travellers are starting to feel the effects after WestJet's 4,400 flight attendants went on strike early Sunday morning. The airline halted all flights on a busy summer travel weekend after the carrier and union failed to reach a new contract. Both CUPE, the union representing the workers, and the airline announced the move after a strike deadline passed. (Aug. 02, 2026)
