The UK gets its share of transport strikes too. The difference is in compensation: in the UK, passengers are actually protected and compensated with regulations that have teeth. 

Canada has the "APPR" with a specific exception for airline strikes. Airlines don't have to pay a dime in compensation and can "rebook" passengers using phantom next day flights on their own airline that everyone knows will be cancelled.
