Law everywhere except Saskatchewan limits strike activity substantially
No recognition strikes
No strikes during impasse procedures
Strikes during term of agreement illegal

Special legislation to end specific stoppages or force "essential" employees back to work now common
   Growing trend to define "essential" services more broadly

Some provinces now outlaw hiring strike replacements,
   Since 1977 illegal to replace lawful strikers in Quebec even temporarily.  Quebec also bans moving struck work to another facility (impact on baseball umpires strike)
   Laws moving away from banning temporary replacements.  Ontario repealed its ban in 1995
