Good morning. Air Canada says it will resume flights later today, despite the union representing flight attendants saying they have no intention of ending the strike. More on that below, plus concepts of a plan to make peace between Russia and Ukraine, and a generational shift in parenting. Let’s get to it.

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly will meet this week in Sweden with the company behind a fighter jet that could replace some of the planes Canada has already committed to purchasing from the United States.

A government source with knowledge of the minister’s plans confirmed that she will meet with Saab along with other businesses in Sweden. The Globe and Mail is not naming the source, who is not authorized to publicly discuss details of the trip.

The source did not say whether the talks with Saab will focus on procurement of the planes.

Newfoundland officials lifted evacuation alerts for the communities close to the capital of St. John’s on the weekend as cool weather helped crews contain one of several out-of-control wildfires in the province.

The wildfire at Paddy’s Pond, about 15 kilometres southwest of the city’s downtown core, had about 20,000 people on evacuation alert. The provincial government said in a news release on Sunday that crews were holding the fire “steady” and containing any hotspots.

Ontario real estate agents reported just eight large cash transactions over the past year to the federal anti-money-laundering watchdog, according to new figures.

The multibillion-dollar real estate market is at high risk for money laundering, experts say.

However, the low number of reports – which is down substantially from previous years – could be due, at least in part, to brokerages implementing no-cash policies.

Voters in a sprawling riding in central Alberta are returning to the polls on Monday for the second time in four months in a federal by-election that is expected to return Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to Parliament.

Mr. Poilievre lost the Ottawa-area seat he had held for decades in the April general election, a blow that compounded the Conservative Party’s failure to defeat the governing Liberals after months of leading them in the polls.

Officials in Nova Scotia say a wildfire in the western part of the province has grown and could force people out of their homes, while cooler temperatures and low winds have helped firefighters in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Long Lake wildfire is expected to grow, said Scott Tingley, manager of forest protection with Nova Scotia’s Natural Resources Department.

The last group of wildfire evacuees forced from their Vancouver Island homes by a blaze north of Nanaimo were allowed to return over the weekend after crews got the fire under control.

The BC Wildfire Service announced Saturday afternoon that crews have made significant progress in combating the Wesley Ridge blaze burning near Cameron Lake.

The union that represents thousands of support staff at Ontario’s colleges says the workers have voted to authorize a strike.

The Ontario Public Service Employees Union says in a news release that members voted 77.3 per cent to authorize a strike, if necessary, to “secure respect at the bargaining table” and secure a contract the workers deserve.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says U.S. President Donald Trump is “creating the opportunity to end Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine.”

Carney is praising the U.S. government’s efforts to end the war in a statement today, after Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.

A British Columbia legislator said he went from “disappointed” to “enraged” after receiving a pitch from a Republican state senator for Canada’s four western provinces to join the United States.

Brennan Day, with the Opposition B.C. Conservative Party, said his office had to first confirm the authenticity of the “nonsense” letter from Maine Sen. Joseph Martin after receiving it last week. 

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Saturday welcomed what he said was U.S. openness to providing security guarantees to Ukraine under a peace deal to end Russia’s war against Kyiv.

“Robust and credible security guarantees are essential to any just and lasting peace. I welcome the openness of the United States to providing security guarantees as part of Coalition of the Willing’s efforts,” Carney said in a statement.

The federal government ordered Air Canada and its flights attendants into binding arbitration Saturday in an effort to put an end to a strike that has upended the travel plans of hundreds of thousands of people during the height of summer season.

Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu said she had directed the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order the parties “to resume and continue their operations and duties,” and to extend the terms of the existing collective agreement until a new one is determined by the arbitrator.

Toronto police say an eight-year-old boy was killed by a stray bullet while he was sleeping in bed with his family in the city’s North York neighbourhood early Saturday morning.

The city’s homicide unit says a stray bullet from a shooting outside a building in the Martha Eaton Way and Trethewey Drive area entered the boy’s room at around 12:30 a.m.

The boy was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Vancouver’s ambitious plan to develop thousands of market-rate apartments on city land could eventually bring in enough money to cover almost half of the municipal operating budget, Mayor Ken Sim’s chief of staff says.

That’s the long-term goal, said Trevor Ford, who enthusiastically described the plan as the equivalent of what Vienna, Singapore or the University of British Columbia have done by developing their own land. Vancouver’s current operating budget is $2.34-billion.

When Vett Lloyd was bitten by a tick in 2011, it marked the beginning of a painful, years-long battle with Lyme disease. It also abruptly altered the trajectory of her career.

At the time, Dr. Lloyd’s research at New Brunswick’s Mount Allison University was focused on cancer biology but she wondered why people weren’t paying more attention to ticks. So, she converted her cancer lab into a tick lab and reoriented her life’s work around the tiny bloodsucker that nearly ruined her.

On a stretch of the south arm of the Fraser River, in the Vancouver area, the Cowichan Tribes in centuries past had an annual summer fishing village, a place they defended with a warrior ethos against other Indigenous groups.

But in the mid-1800s, the Cowichan – whose home territory is on Vancouver Island – were displaced from that village as the British took control and, after British Columbia joined Canada, the land was sold over the years.

My friend Tom Mautner is the chair of the board of governors at a school in North London. This week, with students out for the summer, he took me for a tour. For a visitor from Toronto, where schools are run from the top down by a vast bureaucracy – a.k.a. the Toronto District School Board – it was an eye-opener.

Laurel Park is a public secondary school with around 600 students. It was built in the 1960s in what is now an area of mixed incomes and backgrounds. Until just a couple of years ago, it was faring poorly. School inspectors gave it low ratings. Ambitious families shunned it. Disciplinary problems were rife.

British Columbia says it will be providing $2.5-million in funding that will allow about 75 poultry farms in the Fraser Valley to upgrade their barns to reduce the risk of avian flu.

The Agriculture Ministry says in a news release that the flu can enter barns through airflow, water sources and other means and, despite increased measures, there have been about 200 outbreaks in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland since 2022.
