Canada Post is on strike. Here's what you need to know — CBC News
Canadians got a big surprise this week, when the union representing Canada's postal workers suddenly called for a nationwide strike after the federal government announced major reforms to Canada Post, instructing the Crown corporation to end home delivery and close some rural mail outlets...
The union representing 55,000 postal workers says it was caught off-guard by the government's changes and argued Canada Post and the government are creating the conditions that drive down demand for its letter and parcel services?
Earlier this month, the union rejected the government's offer of a 13 per cent pay increase, saying it fell short of the union's demand for 19 per cent.
Canada Post said in a statement that no mail or parcels will be processed or delivered during the strike, and service guarantees for items already in the mail are suspended.
"No new items will be accepted until the national disruption (?) is over," it wrote.
(Canada Post will continue to deliver government benefit cheques — including Old Age Security, the Canada Child Benefit and the Canada Pension Plan — as well as live animals during the strike)
It says all mail and parcels already in the postal network will be secured and delivered as quickly as possible once operations resume.
I want a 20% raise too. It would barely cover my antihistamine bill during harvest but it'll help.When does the strike begin? It already has.

One can request that the mail be made to the home. My neighbour actually had home delivery because he was elderly & walking was too dangerous for him to go to the community mailbox. If I'm not mistaken tho' it came once a week to the house. He's since passed but it is possible now to make the request.In terms of parcels, the percentage Canada Post delivered had shrunk to around 24 per cent, dramatically down from the 62 per cent of parcel delivery it enjoyed back in 2019.
Lightbound explained that the drop in service demands means that Canada Post is losing about $10 million each day and facing a future where billions in government bailouts are the only option to keep it afloat. In the second quarter of 2025, it lost $407 million.
Transitioning the country’s remaining four million individual addresses to a community mailbox system would happen over the next nine years, with the bulk of the work happening in the next three to four years, the minister said. He added that options would be available for seniors and those facing mobility issues.

Lightbound said the only other option would be for the government to continually bail out the Crown corporation to the tune of billions of dollars
