Ontario Chamber Urges Immediate Resolution to Canada Post Strike

(TORONTO – September 26, 2025) – The Ontario Chamber of Commerce’s President and CEO, Daniel Tisch, released the following statement calling for immediate action in light of the nationwide Canada Post strike:

“A Canada Post strike is the last thing Canada’s businesses and workers need right now. In a slow economy, businesses can’t afford repeated stoppages that delay shipments, cut revenue, and threaten jobs. With 80% of small businesses relying on Canada Post for deliveries, invoicing, and payments, a strike hits them hard and fast. And in many communities, they have no alternatives.

“It’s time to be realistic and responsible – and that means an immediate resolution to this strike. Once that is achieved, we expect government, industry, and communities to work together on sustainable solutions that protect service continuity and Canada’s economic stability.”
