Postal News + One Event This Weekend
Most of you have probably received warning of about the possibility of a postal strike from your utilities, banks and credit card companies, so I thought I’d post some information on it.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers have called a strike on May 22nd, 2025 as they negotiate with Canada Post, who have paused the negotiations on May 13th, 2025 according to a blog entry on the Union’s official site.
Unfortunately, Canada Post is posting hundreds of millions in losses every quarter and are considering closing some post offices, reducing door to door service and implementing more community mailboxes. And the Union would rather introduce banking services through the postal offices, which would help the smaller rural communities that have lost their banks.
I agree that they should automatically start providing low fee banking and ATM services to these communities and possibly extend their mandate to provide Wi-Fi services to the community surrounding these post offices, from satellite.
I will be contacting my local Member of Parliament as soon as possible and encourage you to do the same. Thank you.

And note that the Megabus and Maplebus do also have stops in this community, across the 401 from the venue and also a 4 minute taxi drive away.
