Canada Post is set to accept commercial mail again as it recovers from a month-long strike, but delays are expected into the new year
They’re processing everything on a first-in, first-out basis, which means the older stuff gets handled first. New international mail won’t be accepted until December 23, so if you’re sending anything overseas, you’ll need to plan ahead.
In other news, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is shaking things up. He’s calling for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down, and it looks like he’s gearing up for a showdown with the Conservatives in the next election.
Oh, and did you hear about the NDP winning a byelection in Alberta? They’re holding onto their seat in Lethbridge-West, which is a big deal for them.
There’s also been some drama at a political conference in Victoria. It was supposed to be a debate but turned into a chaotic scene with protests. The venue has now banned the organizers from hosting future events.
And speaking of delays, the new Ontario Science Centre is now expected to open in 2029 instead of 2028. Just a little setback there.
Lastly, there’s a guy in Montreal on a mission to save DVDs. He’s been selling them online like crazy, proving that some folks still love the old-school way of watching movies.
