Air Canada Flight Attendants Edge Closer to Strike Action More than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants have overwhelmingly voted—99.7% in favour—to grant their union a strike mandate, signaling growing frustration over stalled contract negotiations. The vote, conducted by the Air Canada Component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), does not guarantee a strike but empowers the union to call one if necessary. A legal strike could begin as early as August 16, following the expiration of a mandatory cooling-off period.

Trump’s Chilling New Courthouse Rant Gets Put On Ice By Critics

 

Former President Donald Trump found himself in a chilly situation during his trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case. Complaining about the low temperatures in the courtroom, he lamented, “I’m sitting here for days now, from morning til night, in that freezing room, freezing, everybody was freezing in there.”

By most accounts, the courtroom was indeed quite cold. Trump’s attorney even asked the judge to raise the temperature by “just one degree,” but the judge declined, preferring a cooler room over a warmer one. Social media had a field day with Trump’s frosty complaints. Critics pointed out that the cool temperatures might help keep him awake, especially since he reportedly fell asleep in court on days one and two. Some reactions were less sympathetic, with tweets like:

  • “Somebody get this guy some cheese  to go with that… ‘whine’…”
  • “They are keeping the courtroom ‘freezing’ to keep Trump awake.”
  • “His ultimate destination? Will be hot. Promise you.”

Perhaps Trump needs a winter parka for the trial or even one of those foil blankets he once gave to immigrant children. As a former casino owner, he should know that cold temperatures keep people alert But don’t worry, his jail cell will likely be warmer.

In the end, Trump’s chilling courtroom rant got a frosty reception from critics. Whether he’ll warm up to the proceedings remains to be seen.
