Canada Post is on strike. FYI.
« on: November 26, 2024, 06:15:40 PM »
I’m posting this to keep anyone who’s waiting on stuff from Canada, hang tight. Canada Post has been on strike since 15 November, and they aren’t taking parcels or mail. Last three disruptions lasted 13, 14, and 31 days - with two of those being rotating, so stuff was moving a little.

I’ll update this if it doesn’t get locked for being out of place. Sorry if that’s the case.

WKRP in CINCINNATI!

The timing is terrible! A world starved of Celine Dion concert Blue Ray Disks and Tim Horton's merchandise, delivered via their letterbox, must wait a little longer. The legion of Michael Buble haters receive a welcome, albeit temporary, reprieve.

Thank God Maria Carey is American and Christmas won't be totally ruined. Folk can go on safe in the knowledge that they will not be denied her essential Christmas tunes  :D

I stand in solidarity with the Canadian Postal Workers. The workers united shall never be divided!
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Indeed! I stand with them, as well. No maple syrup for a while…

The rest of the world should still be able to get a steady stream of Tim H0rt0n’s merch and Ceiline Dionne Blu-ray’s through Temu, never fear, the market will provide.

Plenty of sources of Celine Dion product.  I'm annoyed that my Pulp Figures order is on hold!

But, yeah, if it weren't for that, solidarity forever.

Fear not - because of international capitalism, even here in Southern England I am only 40 minutes drive from the nearest Tim Hortons.

A chain that sells what passes for coffee in Canada. Or rather it's likely someone did actually pass what their customers consume. Even dire renal problems can have a silver lining. A sort of flannel shirt answer to the equally dire Starbucks.

On the plus side, it means I can look at whatever minis I want knowing that I can't order them because if the strike. Quite liberating really

Here I thought TH was a broader supplier of diverse goods. Are they as annoying trying to have one, if not two, at every intersection.

Just did an eBay transaction for a holiday surprise for my daughter.

In her forties, she can join in the solidarity as well...  ;)
