The union representing about 55,000 Canada Post employees said the latest offers from the postal service "fall short" with hours to go until a looming strike deadline.

Canada Post meanwhile said Thursday it's already seeing mail volumes decline ahead of another possible labour disruption and is pushing for an urgent resolution.

Spokesperson Lisa Liu said Canada Post hasn't yet received a response from the union about its proposals issued a day earlier.

The postal service is ready to resume bargaining "as soon as possible" with a mediator at the table, she said.

The 'Joe Rogan Experience' is the No. 1 listened to podcast on Spotify's platform since 2020. While Rogan has never claimed to be a Christian, he dives theologically deep with many of his guests, including Huff for a three-hour discussion in January.

Efforts are being made to preserve a historical building in La Broquerie, MB.

The St. Joachim Parish received historical status in 2000. While there are many older structures across Manitoba, very few have historical status, especially in the southeast. Lucien Grenier, a member of the church’s financial committee, shares that such status is remarkable not only to the people in the municipality or town of La Broquerie, but to anyone with a family history of immigration to Canada.
