Canada Post Workers Launch Nationwide Strike 🚫

Canada Post has officially gone postal—literally. On September 25, 2025, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers slammed its mailbags shut and launched a nationwide strike after the Liberal government unveiled a “modernization plan” that looks more like a demolition derby. The reforms? Ending home delivery for four million addresses, closing rural post offices, and slowing down mail by swapping planes for trucks—all in the name of saving a Crown corporation bleeding $1.5 billion this year.

Minister Joël Lightbound insists this is triage, not treason: Canada Post is “effectively insolvent,” and bailouts aren’t a forever fix. Supporters argue the changes are overdue—why bankroll daily door-to-door delivery in the age of Amazon drones and instant messages?

But the union is spitting fire, calling the plan an “attack” on workers and communities. They warn seniors, rural residents, and Indigenous communities will be left stranded, while thousands of jobs vanish into the sorting bin. Carriers say they’re more than mailmen—they’re lifelines, wellness checks, and neighborhood fixtures.

So here we are: a government trying to save a sinking ship by tossing passengers overboard, and a union chaining itself to the mast. The mail may be delayed, but the drama? Delivered overnight. #Canada #CanadaPost #mail
