There is currently a postal workers strike in Canada and Canada Post has apparently advised all other countries' postal services to not accept mail to Canada at this time. So, don't send your cards to Canadian addresses until that situation is resolved. And, of course, people in Canada (like me) cannot send cards at this time.

On your marks, get set, print!

In the post today - except for you George, I'm holding yours until the Post Office accepts mail to Canada.

Regarding the Canada Post strike situation. Service resumes tomorrow (today is Thanksgiving holiday), but that service is going to be periodically interrupted by rotating strikes. That should not impact cards getting through other than delay them a bit. However, make sure the postal service in your country has resumed service to Canada before dropping off your cards. They should have.

Slowly ...

Canada
17 October 2025: On Monday, 20 October 2025, Australia Post will resume International Standard parcel services, Economy Air letter services and our International Post Registered letter services to and from Canada.

This follows a temporary suspension of postal services to Canada on Monday, 29 September 2025 due to union strike action by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW).

Canada Post has made progress in restarting its postal operations and has begun clearing delayed items caused by the full national strike action. However, customers should still expect significant delays as Canada Post works to clear the backlog of items and stabilise operations while the union moves to rotating strikes.

Monday it is...

My cards were mailed out today, with the exception of the cards destined for Canada...
I need to confirm that the USPS has resumed mail service to our Northern allies.

I want to go back to when all I had to worry about was nuclear annihilation. Tri-X was fast film and it cost a nickel to mail a postcard. Jeepers!

I received my very first postcard from round 66, an abstract "Ghost trees" from @ChrisR . Enjoyed your description of the technique to get there!
