it was the wage clause of the agreement that air canada flight attendants voted to reject a deal that included an eight to 12% increase in the first year depending on the length of service and pay for flight attendants for work done not in the air. John Graddock is the aviation coordinator at McGill University and says he's not surprised by the vote. Flight attendants, as much as they're going to get some ground pay, it's not a lot of dollars. It's not going to take them off the poverty line, the cost of living in Vancouver or Toronto.

There's still going to be below poverty wages. Even with the rejection, it's unlikely there will be another strike before the vote.

But Graddock says this wage issue is a tough one, and he doesn't expect an agreement to come anytime soon. Sarah Reid, CBC News, Edmonton.

That booing happened in July when Trump appeared at the Club World Cup final. Broadcaster, ESPN, isn't officially responding, but the New York Times spoke to a person briefed on the network's plans, who says they plan to acknowledge Trump's presence and cover play.
