Air Transat talks; Another tariff threat; Paramount's hostile bid for WB

from Global National with Dawna Friesen · host Global News

Nerves are flying high this Monday night, with Air Transat pilots set to walk off the job in days. Mike Armstrong looks at how negotiations are going, how travellers are feeling, and how much money the airline could lose if a strike happens. The federal Conservatives are trying to force Liberal MPs to declare whether they truly support the construction of one or more pipelines to B.C.'s coast. Mackenzie Gray explains the Tories' tactic, and what it could lead to. U.S. President Donald Trump is now threatening to tariff Canadian potash. But as Jillian Piper explains, the U.S. relies heavily on Canada for the key fertilizer ingredient. In Washington, Heidi Petracek explains how the U.S. Supreme Court is weighing a case that could expand Trump's powers in unprecedented ways. Redmond Shannon explains how Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy isn't backing down to pressure to concede land to Russia, and what European allies are asking the U.S. to do. With "KPop Demon Hunters" earning three nominations for the 2026 Golden Globes, Neetu Garcha explains how it's being seen as a big win for Canadian talent and Korean culture. And the Winnipeg Jets stopped by the city's Rehabilitation Centre for Children to spread some Christmas cheer. As Melissa Ridgen reports, the players say their annual visit is more than a gift for the kids. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
