The U.S. Postal Service has temporarily suspended accepting mail headed to Canada due to the strike by Canada Post workers. It is asking customers to refrain from mailing items addressed to Canada until further notice. The move by the U.S. Postal Service comes after some 55,000 Canada Post workers walked off the job more than two weeks ago. Canada Post says it has presented the union with a framework to reach negotiated agreements in the dispute that is threatening the busy holiday season.

Julie Maxwell says it's not true that people her age don't want to get into farming, but shifts in agriculture trends have made it financially harder to get a start in the industry. I talk to young farmers all the time who want to start farms, who dream of farming … but they just don't see how it's possible or how it's viable, said Maxwell, a small vegetable farmer and president of the youth branch of the National Farmers Union.

El crecimiento fue limitado debido a una menor inversión empresarial, específicamente debido a un menor gasto en maquinaria, incluidas aeronaves, y menores exportaciones, que disminuyeron más que las importaciones, según la agencia federal de datos.

The union representing Canada Post workers says the Crown corporation has been laying off striking employees as the labour action by more than 55,000 workers approaches the two-week mark. In a notice to members posted Monday, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers called the layoffs a scare tactic and said it's looking into the situation. The notice pointed to a section of the Canada Labour Code that forbids employers from laying off workers who are participating in a strike.
