Canada’s current system forces a binary choice — chaos or government intervention — but smarter models from Italy and Germany show it’s possible to strike with predictability.

Canada already has legal tools in the Canada Labour Code that could be expanded to create a balanced, fairer approach — one that preserves strike rights while protecting travelers and businesses alike.
