OTTAWA — The federal government refrained from immediately striking back against U.S. President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum on Wednesday, as Ontario Premier Doug Ford warned Canada could get “steamrolled” without a strong retaliation, and business and labour groups predicted the escalating trade war will soon devastate jobs and livelihoods.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney stopped short of immediately retaliating against U.S. President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on steel and aluminum Wednesday, saying his government “will take some time” as trade discussions continue with American officials, and union leaders warn of approaching devastation to jobs and livelihoods.

They’re stepping back from the brink, but will it be enough for Canada Post and its workers to reach a new contract agreement? Just hours after starting a “strike action” that will see their members staying on the job while refusing overtime work, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers said Friday that there will be “meetings” with the Crown corporation over the weekend.

As Canada Post workers began a “strike action” Friday that will see them stay on the job while refusing overtime work, the federal government urged the Crown corporation and its employees to get back to the bargaining table, and suggested using a mediator’s report issued last week as a model.

Canada Post workers won’t be walking off the job even though a last-ditch effort to avoid another strike fell short of what the Crown corporation called “meaningful progress.”Late Thursday night, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers instead announced that its members would be refusing overtime work beginning at midnight local time across the country.

There might be a glimmer of hope of avoiding another Canada Post strike. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers is set to meet with the Crown corporation and a mediator ahead of 12:01 a.m. Friday strike deadline, after the two sides traded public potshots earlier Thursday. A spokesperson for Canada Post said the union had requested the 7 p.m. meeting, confirming a broadcast report citing the union.

Just over a day before 55,000 Canada Post employees could be back on the picket line, the Crown corporation presented its workers Wednesday with a new contract — but it might not be enough to avoid another strike. The offer was presented to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers at a meeting in Ottawa with a mediator. Earlier this week, CUPW gave Canada Post 72 hours’ strike notice, and workers could be back on the picket line as of 12:01 a.m. Friday.
