In the political landscape of 2015, Justin Trudeau's alliance with Denis Coderre against Canada Post's modernization revealed a focus on scoring points over sound policymaking.

Canada Post announced a 25% increase in stamp prices, justified as necessary to align costs with the rising expense of letter mail service for all Canadians.

Canada Post reported a $315 million loss before tax in Q3, up from a loss of $290 million year-over-year, highlighting struggles amidst operational shutdowns.

Mark Lubinski, president of the Toronto Local Canadian Union of Postal Workers, expressed that postal workers are in dire financial straits, stating, "We're unable to survive. We're fighting for ourselves, our families and for our communities." He emphasized that the ongoing strike, which started on Friday, comes after more than a year of negotiations for fair wages and safe working conditions, highlighting the struggle and urgency behind their demands.
