Strike paralyzes Canadian airlines
An nationwide walkout by Canada's 1,600 air traffic controllers crippled international service and grounded commercial aircraft across 116 airports. About 50,000 daily passengers were affected while air mail and freight were halted except for cargo to remote communities and emergencies. CP Air forecast daily losses around 400,000 with 2,500 layoffs nationwide. Pacific Western Airways cut hundreds. Air Canada planned no layoffs unless the strike widens. Talks with the government, mediated by Noel Hall, reduced unresolved items from 63 to 11 or 12, with a meaningful wage offer reportedly on the table. Talks set to resume at 10 a.m.

The project aims to demonstrate uranium 238 to plutonium fuel, promising far higher efficiency than conventional plants, but faced initial federal funding rejection with a Tennessee project favored instead.
