Rotating Postal Strikes May Affect Delivery of Canadian Orders

[livadia]

FYI, Canada Post is still trying to mediate a labor agreement with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.   Postal workers are staging a series of geographically rotating 24-hr strikes in response.   To date pick-up/delivery has been affected for 24 hrs in the following locations beginning on the date indicated:

10/22 -- Victorian, Windsor, Edmonton, Halifax

10/23 -- Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area

Supposedly, mail pick-up/delivery in other locations will not be affected.   For more info/updates of other areas that may be affected in the coming days see: https://www.canadapost.ca/web/en/comm/list.page?ecid=murl|ddn|lr|5

It seems to me that Canada is prone to postal strikes?  It's not like here in the States.

I think USPS employees are considered Civil Service.  Civil Service does not go on strike, as far as I know.

It's already bad enough.  We continue to have problems shipping to Canada--inability to track packages and insanely long shipping times.  If the postal situation declines, then it is likely many international sellers will exclude Canada.
