Means no mail from or to Canada via their postal system.
Updates and info. available all over the net, use google.

I found out about it because I belong to an international book swap site.

1. Very poorly covered story

at least from down here. I look at The Globe and Mail and cbc.ca a lot and never heard a thing about it until I searched for it just now.

Though you'd expect with Deepak Chopra leading the postal union he'd be able to find some spiritual way to get around something as crass as a strike huh? This can't be good for getting rid of negative emotions dude. ;-)

from http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2011/06/01/canada-post.html

"Deepak Chopra, the president and CEO of Canada Post, and Canadian Union of Postal Workers president Denis Lemelin met in Ottawa on Wednesday to try to reach a deal and avoid a disruption of mail service. They also met with Labour Minister Lisa Raitt."


And yes, I'm well aware it's not _the_ Deepak Chopra. (put here because someone's going to think I wasn't bright enough to figure that out all on my own)
