Another Postal Disruption Would Hit Main Street Again
Canada’s small businesses rely on dependable delivery — and for many, especially in rural and remote communities, Canada Post is the only option.
Data shows supply chain challenges are already on the rise. A new postal disruption could push many businesses past their limit. Roughly 130,000 Canadian businesses were directly impacted by logistics-related labour disputes last year.
Another stoppage — particularly during a fragile economic recovery — risks slowing deliveries, straining e-commerce, and delaying critical services like payments and housing approvals.
Continuity matters. Business needs certainty, not another bottleneck.
