Yeah, I noticed too, but this could be a reflection in the general slowdown in the mail right now. Between increased mail volume due to Christmas, and the unprecedented strength of the Canadian against the U.S. dollar (for the moment anyway), sorting plants are more overwhelmed these days than is usual.Quote:

On the up side - if anyone's looking for casual work over the next few months, I am sure Canada Post will be hiring more seasonal Christmas mail sorters than ever! The hours can be strange, but the pay is good (I think somewhere around $20./hour these days....)
