Stephen LeDrew examines the growing tension between democratic decision-making and judicial power in Canada. Using the Air Canada flight attendant labour dispute as a case study, he highlights how workers endured years of low wages while executives earned millions, yet government attempts to intervene were thwarted by a Supreme Court decision..
