Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. August 20th, 2025

View descriptionShare

The dust continues to settle on the Air Canada tarmac, as flight attendants gradually return to duty. But for Canadian travellers who have been left in limbo for nearly a week, the headaches haven’t fully subsided yet. Some of them remain stranded, scrambling to find a ticket home. And if they shift gears to another airline, they might be greeted with a price hike. Gabor Lukacs, an air passenger rights advocate, joins guest host Andrew Pinsent to outline today’s challenges. Speaking of services, have you ever tried the ‘buy now, pay later’ approach? Well, it seems they are gaining popularity, which could potentially lead to a bigger price tag down the road. How can you manage those risks? We dig deeper with Stacy Yanchuk-Oleksy in Hour 2. She is the CEO of Money Mentors, an Alberta-based non-profit credit counselling agency.
