Hey Mike thanks for the thought. I'm still going to get the M.O out to you as promised on Tuesday. At least it will be somewhere in the USA by the time the strike hits.

Glad we got that deal done before this nonsense strike Matt.  8)

I just told Cory to go ahead and send some stuff, I really didn't think the strike would happen. Oh well, I'll just have to wait and see.

BTW my bunny just pissed on our bed. Little $%@*!

I'm just glad I barely snuck my packages in to Dale and Shawn in the nick of time!  Guess I'll have to hold off on doing anymore Canada trades 'til the situation gets resolved...

Sorry fellas!   :-\  Let us know how things turn out...

That's why all of my stuff is getting shipped to Jim these days.  A couple of the good folks on here and a number of ebay sellers have been willing to ship up North, but I've passed on that option.  More expensive in the long run, but there can be benefits too.  Besides, Jim is building a real nice collection without spending a cent. ;)

We shall see at 12:01 am. They have to vote on the new deal tonight.

A new deadline of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time Monday has been set for reaching a tentative deal, although Canadian Union of Postal Workers members could technically walk off the job before then.

Make up my mind!   >:(

Canada Post agreed to a 24-hour extension of the strike deadline at the request of the CUPW. Talks will continue in an effort to negotiate a new collective agreement.

Not that I've been following that closely, but I do know there are some pretty contentious issues in terms of long term security.  Pension, end of career payout, etc.  So in a sense, yes, money but not simply wages.  I think that part has been hammered out.

The word just came in that the Strike has been Postoned again. Another 24 hrs till we know whats going to happen. But by the sounds of it all they are trying to do is finalize the "Wording" of the reached
agreement. Won't know for sure till tomorrow evening
