This is news to me. I've heard of some disruptions with some of our vendors in Canada. How does anyone function with the regular mail being down?

no one noticed the one last fall......................
Unlike many Crown corporations, Canada Post is not taxpayer-funded and must sustain itself entirely on its own revenues.[10][11]
It’s over... They realized that nobody cared and accepted the offer.
Good to know.

On November 29, Canada Post asked the mail services of all other countries to stop accepting or sending mail to Canada, leaving all mail unprocessed in secure containers from November 15. This mail could not be delivered or even scanned due to the strike.[37]
They just had a Xmas strike ,LOL
Is that the state just north of North Dakota? I hear their winters are pretty brutal.
How would you tell the difference?

There are many areas of Canada with no service at the moment due to a widespread blizzard, but there is no strike at this time at Canada Post.
Nobody cares, I'm shocked honestly there still is a mail service up there. Tim Hortons pays more.
Heard about it weeks ago. Have not heard anything since
How would you know? It takes forever for things to be delivered there and from there.
Canadian mail is always dysfunctional. It is like a third world country.
“How does anyone function with the regular mail being down”
More and more business is being done by the internet so fewer letters are actully being mailed except for hard copies unless they are certified first and sent out per email.

30 years ago this would have ground many businesses and many important personal activities (such as paying bills) to a halt with profound consequences. Now - who cares? In my case it's virtually all junk mail and misaddressed bills to someone else.
Canada has several unions in its postal service so their mail is disrupted from stikes almost every year.
Many Canadian companies have a US post office box right across the border for this reason.
