Hundreds of union members gathered outside a Canada Post depot in Scarborough, Ont., on Monday, in a show of solidarity on day 11 of strike action.
With Black Friday right around the corner and exactly one month left before Christmas, online shoppers may not be immediately receiving parcels ordered during this prime online shopping period.

These fools make $30 per hour with full benefits…! And here I am, barely made $23 working as an apprentice in my trade. 9 years of grinding, and earning my red seal. I can proudly say I make over $45. But damn… thinking that these lazy no good CP workers make $30 or up, and all they do is sort and deliver mails… i chose wrong career. I should have worked for CP, do completely nothing and still make good money.
This is very funny how these ignorant and selfish people are all of sudden up in arms against the striking canada post workers.
While during the pandemic it was only canada post delivering their mail, welfare cheques and keeping the economy moving. Even if it meant sacrificing their own lives. Back then the same canada post workers were getting all the praises. Now that these same workers decide to exercise their constitutional rights they’re being called out.
Shame on all of you who are ignorant about democracy because of your selfish motives. Let these workers go on strike to fight for their cause. If you can’t understand them. Look back during pandemic and ask yourselves why do they have to risks their lives to deliver my mail.
Boycott Canada Post
Oh well. There are tons of other ways to send and receive. People this time of year are becoming resourceful. They have no money!
Don't use the post, glad to not get all the junk mail.😊
Canada post is bleeding money. They should fix their problems first before they ask for a raise.
How is this 11 days on the picket line when most posties don't work weekends. Are they trying to get strike pay for days they would not normally work?
Anyone willing to start a new delivery post business?
How is this not affecting economy. The union is unlawfully holding back an essential and vital service
the strike NEEDS TO END RIGHT NOW
We paid for one day shipping. Surprisingly that never happened. Now our package is in sorting. It's evident Canada Post is a failing business. We would send out 3-4 packages a week. NEVER! will we support Canada Post again.
To All Media Organization in Canada . . . . Please ask Canada Post Management The Following
1) Whose Fault is it if Sales Volumes are down for the last few years.
2) Why did Management give themselves Bonuses and Incentives this year if they are are making losses
3) Did they offer Bonuses and Incentives to Union Members
4) Do they say Investments in a new state of the art mail processing plant is part of the loss
5) Do they say that part of the loss is also because they purchased new EV Delivery Van's which are not being used ? Why were they purchased.
6) Is the Management negotiating for 1 year with the Union and allowed the strike to happen in the peak period ?
This is clearly a mismanagement and incompetency of running a corporation that keep on loosing year after year.
jus need ma clothes💔💔
Stamp lickers😂
Once the strike is over…due to loss of 75% of business…here's your lay- off notices folks !!!
Nailing the Coffin SHUT !!
They're on track to lose a billion dollars this year.
My passport stuck there and I have my flight soon , when this guys will end this ?
Hundreds support, millions opposed
My girlfriend is a vet assistant, she had to go to college and get a diploma to qualify for the job, her job is hard physically, mentally, and emotionally. After working over a year she gets just over minimum wage barely. The Post Office is crazy overpaid for the low skill needed to do the job if you compare it with the rest of the work force. If they deserve over $20 an hour, retail workers at like Home Depot or Wal-Mart also deserve that, and with what my girlfriend does she should get +$40 an hour.
Frustrating knowing my package was due to arrive on day 2 or 3 of the strike. Now I have to wait.
I will give credit to them for protesting peacefully. They aren’t blocking roads or highways at least.
these bums need to get to work. CP is not a financially profitable company; and we need to stop investing in it if it keeps striking every few years or abolish the current system
Holding documents and other personal products at ransom from canadians for your own personal gain will not get support from canadians! Canada post is an inferior delivery service already overpaying self glorified essential workers that do nothing different than an international student does making deliveries for Amazon with his own car! 😂
I will 1000% go out of my way to NEVER use Canada Post ever again after this strike is over!!!
😡😡
I'll deliver mail for 23 dollars a hour. I make 23 dollars now as a PSW. At least with the CP I'd get weekends and holidays off and I don't have to work shift work. 🙋🏼 I'll take a job
Imagine working for a company that is $3Billion in the hole and asking your boss for a 24% raise!! What kind of fantasy world are these people living in?? Specially in today's economy!!
They should get their wishes for Christmas. The government has raised the cost of living and all employees need their wages increased

This is what happens when people rely on daddy Government for everything, or in this case, a monarch. 😅
Hey! all those that are depending on Canada post for their cheap mail delivery and feel these employees are asking for too much, should consider fedexing your packages. If you have so much money, then pay FedEx
By the way, I own my business and I need my mail too; but these people need to keep their standard of living too

My tax dollars should go to pay them not Ukraine nor any overpaid liberal politician
With no competition, this is what you get! Time to privatize postal services and have competing companies.
Lazy, entitled low skill workers want 25% wage increase. What kind of fantasy world are these people living in ?
I’m an on call employee with Canada post. Im lucky to get two shifts a month. That’s how infrequent the job is for newer employees. I started a year ago.
This strike isn't the final nail in CP's coffin – but it is one of the final nails. Demanding 24% raises from an outfit drowning in debt is suicidal.
I plan to stop using Canada post as much as possible in the future.
There’s so many bucktee’s that work under them
People are too stupid to realize that the private sector in a competing market can do everything better, cheaper, and efficiently.
Canada post provides terrible service compared to the rest of their industry. Just give in to their demands so the company can fold and make way for better companies.
Same ordeal as the Air Canada bail out.
As citizens we are expected to budget for every price hike, but somehow billion-dollar agencies are having “a tough time”, so our money is expected to fix it?
On the list of people I feel bad for; does not include government employees.
Enjoy your tax exempt strike time.
Fully paid benefits.
Salary.
Pension.
Then get back to the real world about how hard your life is.
Im a marine engineer (requires 4 years of schooling and 3 work terms to become qualified for the job at the lowest rank) and my job is very physically demanding. i work in dangerous weather and risk my life on a ship all while being away from my friends and family for weeks/months at a time and i dont make much more money per hour then these people, who sit in a chair with no education putting mail into a box or walking around with a bag of mail. This job isnt hard, dangerous, or skilled. The government needs to step in this is absolutely unacceptable.
toronto does enjoy socialism
These losers are affecting ordinary people and traders with their strikes near the winter holidays. It is a cowardly and unconscious act committed by the profit-hungry union mafia. In essence, the allocated budget cannot be changed, and increasing the salaries of postal workers will only increase inflation. Canada Post is a state-owned company, and to increase salaries in one sector means cutting the budget from others. It would be good if these strikers could be fired. Many people do not have jobs and are eager to work.
Screw Canada post
Canada Post is crown corp base on home land security reason(transportation). Canada government must have their own mailing security system to protect spy from evil China CCP. Also only Canada Post are support mailing to all remote area even lossing money. All others couriers service company knows regular letter mail and door to door delivery are 100% lossing money. No one interesting to buy out Canada Post. Canada Post only making money on parcel and junk mails. CP lossing money on all reuglar letter mails and door to door delivery system.(one household at door letter delivery cost $5-5.60 per day).
those joining the walk are threather to the nation.😢
It doesn't make any sense with 3 billion in losses there will be major layoffs if the union gets what they want. They are hurting themselves with the going rate for raises is 2.5 to 3% for public workers.
We need smaller government. My fiancé was a manager in retail and she couldn’t replace the lazy, poor work ethic part timers with normal person.
