A quick search shows numerous flights to get back to Calgary over the next couple of days. It is my understanding that the regulations state they have to book us on another flight, even if it costs more. They seem to be using the Montreal part of the trip as a reason to not do so.
Of course we have no one at AC we can talk to. And if we go ahead and book new flights I fear we will be on the hook for the totality of the new flights. We don’t want a refund, we want to get home.
It seems we are screwed. Anyone have any advice or tips to get this straightened out?

Both true. They are responsible to get you home but keep in mind most of those alternative flights were likely quite full already even before the strike/lockout. There are lots of options, it might just take a few days (or more) for AC to find you something.
