Canadian Postal workers are on strike, so nothing goes anywhere. Kinda sucks for the Christmas season.

I doubt your Xmas card will make it on time so maybe a Happy Holidays email?
Before the strike, I didn't get much mail as everything is going digital. This strike will encourage even more people and businesses to use email etc. Canada Post will have to change their business model.

I saw on the news that the government is sending the strike on hold, probably for the Christmas season. Not sure when the mail will actually get going again. It will take weeks just to get rid of the backlog of mail.
