 Canada Post, a government monopoly that loses a billion dollars per year, is going on strike for higher wages and now Canadians won't get any mail.

 Canadapost is a bad corp run badly.  I saw on some MSM news that it's going to hurt a bunch of small businesses that have options (profitable competition) but will cost 2x-3x to ship their goods.  Maybe if Canadapost actually charged fair value and didn't run it like a charity, a taxpayer subsidized one at that, they would t be in this quagmire.  And we really don't need daily delivery of ad mail/ junk mail.  Maybe only 2x/week for the occasional real mail.

 On the bright side, I don't have to get junk mail delivered to me daily

 Canada might be one of the places actually more fucked than the UK right now
