Another Canada Post Strike

It hasn't even been a year since the last one. Technically, postal workers here have been on strike for several months but their actions were not having an impact on letter mail. But that changed yesterday after the Canadian government recommended changes to the way Canada Post operates in order to remain solvent. One of the changes is to permit Canada Post to phase out door-to-door delivery. Doing that would mean reducing the workforce and that's a non-starter for the union. So... back to the picket line they go.

The last strike in 2024 was never really resolved. The employees have been working without a collective agreement for nearly two years now. It's hard to imagine when this current strike action will end. The last work stoppage was closer to Christmas and they only returned to work after the government intervened. 

Since it doesn't seem right to post something without including an image or two, here are stamps from the most recent issue featuring mushrooms found in Canada. I like these and I wish Canada Post would put out more flora and fauna stamps. I had a chance to use them on a batch of circuits that I sent out last week which hopefully made it out of the country before the strike action started.
