Always count on conservatives to take the view that if they're not affected that it must mean the service is not useful.

As a result of the strike, which has seen thousands of packages and letters held up, B.C. charities haven't been able to send out their end-of-year brochures — and aren't able to receive cash or cheque donations in the mail.

Angela Chapman, Vancouver General Hospital and University of B.C. Hospital Foundation CEO, said donations to the foundation are down 15 per cent compared with the last two years.

Toronto, December 2, 2024 – The Canada Post strike, now two weeks in, has cost the small- and medium-sized business sector at least $765 million or $76.6 million each business day. At this rate, if the strike is not immediately resolved, it will have cost the sector over $1 billion as of Wednesday, warns the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

The province's website said it isn't able to mail ODSP cheques out or receive any documents sent by mail during the strike.

"I don't get that much money, but that (ODSP) money I do rely on to help feed my family and plan meals for my daughter and my husband and pay my bills and have a roof over my head and all that other stuff," said Wall, who lives with a disability called Fragile X syndrome.
