Canada Post Strike Enters Third Week, Halting Mail and Parcel Services

Negotiations remain stalled as the strike disrupts holiday deliveries, small businesses, and critical services across Canada.

The nationwide strike by 55,000 Canada Post workers began on November 15, citing disputes over wages, working conditions, and automation concerns.
Canada Post has proposed a new negotiation framework, but talks remain at an impasse, with no timeline for mediation to resume.
The U.S. Postal Service has temporarily stopped accepting Canada-bound mail, citing the inability of Canada Post to process international shipments during the strike.
Small and medium-sized businesses in Canada have incurred estimated losses of $76.6 million per day, with total costs projected to surpass $1 billion by midweek.
Northern and rural communities are particularly affected, with delays in critical deliveries such as medical supplies and social assistance payments.
