This news roundup covers Canada Post's plan to resume commercial mail services after a strike, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh's call for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation, and the NDP's victory in an Alberta byelection.
Canada Post is set to start accepting commercial letters and parcels as it works to get back to normal operations following a month-long strike. The postal service has warned Canadians should expect delays into the new year as it works through a backlog of mail, after workers went back on the job Tuesday. Canada Post said mail is being processed on a first-in, first-out basis, and it will start accepting new international mail on Dec. 23.
More than 55,000 employees were ordered back to work by the Canada Industrial Relations Board after it determined a deal could not be reached before the end of the year. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh began the year propping up the minority Liberal government, but he is ending it by calling for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation. In a year-end interview with The Canadian Press Singh laid out his vision for the 2025 election as being a battle between his party and the Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre. When that election happens could depend on whether Singh joins Poilievre to defeat the Liberals and Singh would only say that all options remain on the table for handling confidence votes. He ended the supply and confidence agreement with the Liberals in September but has continued to back the government in confidence votes in the months since. Alberta's opposition New Democratic Party has won the provincial byelection in Lethbridge-West, holding onto a riding it has held since 2015. According to the unofficial vote count late Wednesday night, the Elections Alberta website reports that NDP candidate Rob Miyashiro secured 7,239 votes with all 57 polls reportin
