On strike! Canada Post employees across the country, including in Bracebridge and Huntsville, hit the picket lines this morning.
Roughly 55,000 Canada Post workers are now on strike after negotiations failed yesterday. The primary sticking point is over pay.

There will be no mail or parcel delivery during the strike and some post offices will close, according to the Crown corporation.
