Not sure how many Canadians are on here, but this Toronto guy, expecting lots of multichannel shipments from overseas - particularly the new Brand X concert Blu-ray from UK’s Burning Shed - is sure upset by this:
“Canada Post has asked its international partners to halt mail and parcel shipments to Canada as it reels under a 30-day delivery backlog resulting from a labour dispute with its employees.
The Crown corporation said Friday that its domestic customers are also backed up with packages waiting for delivery as rotating strikes that began Oct. 22 continue across the country.
"The backlogs are also extending to international mail and parcels entering the country," Canada Post spokesman Jon Hamilton said in an email.
"As a result, we have been forced to request that international posts, including the United States Postal Service, refrain from shipping items until we can clear the backlog."
The request covers all 190 countries in the Universal Postal Union (UPU), the United Nations agency that represents global postal services and oversees co-operation among them.”

P.S. I have written to both Burning Shed and the official Brand X social media accounts, to see if there’s some other way of getting that Blu-ray here.. anyone have any other suggestions?
