A Canada Post mail strike may occur on May 23, 2025. 

Canada Post workers have issued a strike notice and are currently poised to begin striking Friday, May 23 at 12 a.m. local time unless the parties reach an agreement before then.  Customers may experience delays or a full stoppage of mail service.

Negotiations and mediation between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) continues toward reaching a collective agreement, read the Canada Post statement here.
