A possible Air Canada strike could “devastate” the economy in Newfoundland and Labrador, according to N.L. PC Opposition leader Tony Wakeham.

Wakeham, who is the MHA for Stephenville – Port au Port, posted on social media on Thursday about the hardships that the eastern province would face if Air Canada pilots were to strike.

“Air disruptions could devastate our economy and others across Canada,” he said.
