The workers went on a rotating strike that started at the start of June which was only a minor disruption in the cities that the strike was taking place in that day. Then Canada post locked them out on the 14th which stopped all mail.

Not sure how accurate it is, but when I logged on this morning, Yahoo news was saying the Bill is still on the floor in Ottawa, so nothing had been settled yet...but lately Yahoo News seems to be hit or miss, so I might just be getting "Yesterday's news"....

Apparently, the conservative Senate is expected to legislate an end to the strike today, which is the objective of PM Harper, a conservative. I'd hope the law gets signed today and gets the mail going early next week.
