Strike threat could push more customers away from struggling Canada Post
- Canada Post faced a nationwide overtime boycott from 55,000 workers starting late Thursday, risking customer delays across Canada on May 23, 2025.

- If job actions escalate, experts warn more customers might leave, worsening Canada Post’s ongoing financial crisis and underscoring the urgent need for reform.
