The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has issued a 72-Hour Strike notice. And alternative delivery methods have been made available by many online retailers like Amazon.ca, chapters.indigo.ca and Newegg.ca.
These retailers may have their own delivery services or will offer customers the choice to pick up their orders at a local retailer or Canada Post outlet. Please consult your retailer for details.
Rotating strikes are scheduled to begin Monday morning, October 22, 2018, at 00:01 if the negotiations fail.

More Scheduled To Be Destroyed ?
Last February I made a blog entry on the scheduled destruction of over 151,000 CDs at the CBC archives in Montreal and it appears the CBC are planning on destroying more to save space according to Friends.ca.
A petition is being made available via Friends.ca to demand the storage of these cultural resources. Please consider signing it. Thank you.
