The notices indicate that CUPW intends to begin strike activity on Friday, May 23 at 12:00 am local time.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><p>So, for the second time in 6 months, it looks like we are facing another strike from Canada Post workers. If it hasn\u2019t been made clear elsewhere: I am fully and completely in support and solidarity with the workers at Canada Post. Any and all shipping originating from The Marsh will cease when the strike begins, no alternate shipping solutions will be sought. <\/p><p>As a point of clarification, the merch that is sold from this site directly is fulfilled by TEE MILL and what they decide to do is another matter entirely. That said, any physical merch ordered through my various BANDCAMP or KOFI pages will be impacted. <\/p><p>It is worth mentioning, if you\u2019ve read this far, that Canada Post also owns 91% of the courier service Purolator - which means they continue to make money during the strike and, essentially, own their own competition. <br \/><br \/>Just be aware of this, if you live in Canada - be kind to your postal workers. <\/p>","urlTitle":"a-note-about-canada-post-again","url":"\/blog\/a-note-about-canada-post-again\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/a-note-about-canada-post-again\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/themarsh.ca\/blog\/a-note-about-canada-post-again\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1747777527,"updatedAt":1757624947,"publishedAt":1757624947,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":373295,"name":"The Marsh"},"tags":[{"id":3802,"code":"n-e-w-s","name":"NEWS","url":"\/blog\/tagged\/n-e-w-s\/"}],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/kw1lkvyr8fi9sepolxtnw340mexnhd8lhuxdlmvrtivv647g.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/kw1lkvyr8fi9sepolxtnw340mexnhd8lhuxdlmvrtivv647g.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/kw1lkvyr8fi9sepolxtnw340mexnhd8lhuxdlmvrtivv647g.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":44690,"title":"The Mire, The Marsh","url":"\/blog\/the-mire-the-marsh\/","urlTitle":"the-mire-the-marsh","division":373295,"description":"If you\u2019re interested in keeping up with the goings on here in The Marsh, subscribe to our monthly newsletter: The Mire, The Marsh.
