Global National: Nov. 15, 2024 | Canada Post strike could mean a difficult holiday season ahead
Millions of Canadians are being warned to prepare for a difficult and stressful holiday shopping season. Tens of thousands of workers are on a nationwide strike at the country’s biggest domestic shipper, Canada Post. At 12:01 ET some 55,000 workers walked off the job after their union and the Crown corporation failed to reach a deal. Mail and parcel deliveries have come to a grinding halt with some post offices closing altogether. Mike Armstrong reports. Canada Post has recorded significant annual losses since 2018 and Global’s Anne Gaviola has more on how bad the financial situation is at Canada Post and why. The Canadian dollar continued its decline Friday, closing at just above USD 0.71, its lowest level in more than four and a half years. Analysts point at a growing gap between the strength of Canada’s economy and that of the U.S. and the recent re-election of Donald Trump hasn’t helped either. Heidi Petracek looks at the winners and losers of a lower Loonie. We are learning tonight about a Canadian believed to be detained in Afghanistan this week. The country under Taliban rule is one of the most dangerous in the world. The Canadian government is urging to avoid all travel there due to the volatile security situation. Jeff Semple has more. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is wrapping up the first two days at the Apec summit in Peru where leaders of Pacific nations, including China’s Xi Jinping have been meeting. The discussions have been taking place against the backdrop of a looming second term for Donald Trump and growing concerns over tariffs. David Akin has more. The U.N. Climate Conference in Azerbaijan is facing growing criticism. A group of veteran political leaders and scientists say the current structure of COP is unable to drive the urgent and large-scale changes needed to live a safe and livable climate. Redmond Shannon reports.
