Canada Post Strike Disrupts Businesses During Key Holiday Season

As the nationwide postal strike enters its fifth day, small businesses and charities face significant challenges in maintaining operations and fundraising efforts.

Over 55,000 Canada Post workers are on strike, halting mail and parcel delivery services across the country.
Small businesses report substantial financial losses and are seeking costly alternative shipping methods to fulfill holiday orders.
The federal government has appointed a special mediator to facilitate negotiations, but both parties remain far apart on key issues like wages and job conditions.
Charities are concerned about the impact on year-end fundraising, with many exploring digital alternatives to engage donors.
Canada Post's financial struggles continue, exacerbated by declining letter volumes and increased competition from private couriers.
