Parcel coming for me from Ukraine. It, allegedly, survived a war torn area. The tracking said it made it safely into Canada and into the city where I live.
However, Canada Post has now lost it.
Typical. 🙄

@Rasta I found out last week that #CanadaPost will not send anything bigger than a letter to #Belgium. So much for opening #Canada up to new trading relationships.

Canada Post no longer serves all Canadians.
Their post office, in a non-cellular area, where many people have no internet, require a smartphone and an unknown APP?
FK That. Guess we don't send to the USA anymore.
And I've had a long chat about the tone-deaf Canada Post manager that set this method

Important info about Canada Post Services and Wildfires.
Please take time to read through the article --- there's too much packed into it to list in my post.
Although it's directly affecting BC residents, the ripple effects will be felt elsewhere , even perhaps for some people outside Canada -
Dear #gandersocial this is gonna kill your #app. People are already massively opposed to platforms like #Meta, #Google and #Discord doing #IDverification, and nobody is gonna trust you either. I also tried #CanadaPost Identity+ and it’s absolutely not working. #socialmedia #social
-
So has anyone else here not used #GanderSocial because of their requirement for #IDverification (which does not work at all via #CanadaPost #Identity+)? Like I selected that as an option but it never #verifies despite the fact I have the app fully set up. Like any #socialmedia app that has #ID #verification is gonna fail. #Gander

A great examination of the challenges facing the postal system in the US. And while it is specific to the USPS, it rhymes with what is happening at Canada Post and other postal systems around the world.

Gander Social is announcing it's staring tomorrow, #Canada Day. Trying to log in is a real pain though; access depends on #CanadaPost for location verification, which is denying everything. I am a patient soul, but it's been 30 minutes of trying; fruitless effort. #goodluck on their startup.
#mastodon was much easier

Postes Canada a annoncé que 485 000 adresses supplémentaires passeront à des boîtes aux lettres communautaires -
Canada Post propaganda alert: "Community mailbox conversions are a key element of Canada Post's plan to transform the postal service to meet the evolving needs of Canadians without becoming a recurring burden on taxpayers," Canada Post wrote in a statement." https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-post-door-to-door-delivery-addresses-june-9.7231990
Federal taxes do not fund federal spending. Management of Canada Post are making this claim to manufacture consent to defund a public service and then privatize it. https://www.mmt.works/mmt-taxes-do-not-fund-government-spending/
Even if you agree with claim that Canada Post 'loses' money, please be honest about its loss being our (Canadians' savings). If the 'real'/'full' cost of a stamp is $1.00, but I pay $0.75, then Canada Post's 'loss' of 25 cents, is my savings of 25 cents.

Who are Maple Logistics Co., of 82 Park Street Kentville, NS B4N 1M3, and why would they send a single piece of gravel to a James Harman at my address?

My First Graphgan
My first attempt at using a crochet graphgan is now completed, and the process has taught me a few things.
The first thing I learned was how to read a graphgan. For those unfamiliar with the term, a graphgan is a diagram of a pattern within a grid, with each square on the grid representing one stitch. The graphgan I worked from is the Cat Silhouette Afghan from Mary Maxim, and it has 28,908 squares.
In order to follow the pattern, I learned to read the front of the afghan from right to left and the back from left to right. At first, that was mind-boggling, but I eventually got it. Instead of counting every stitch for every row, I used a yellow highlighter to identify the stitches I had completed adjacent to the stitches for the cats. That way, I only needed to count the stitches in and around those images. As backup, I also kept a row count.
Various YouTube videos taught me how to join yarn of differing colours mid-row. I also learned that I needed to turn my very large skeins of yarn into multiple golf-ball sized balls of yarn in order to limit the tangles. This was especially important for rows that required sometimes six or eight balls of yarn.
My first attempt to control tangles was to create a box with holes in it so that each thread of yarn would, in theory, stay separated from the others. It didn’t work at all! Complete failure.
By trial and error, I figured out that in order to reduce tangling it was best to turn the work upside down and dangle all the different yarn balls before turning the work and changing row direction. Regardless, I did spend a lot of time untangling yarn, but that is okay because it is a surprisingly soothing activity.
I also made a point of weaving in the yarn ends every ten or twenty rows so that I wouldn’t have such a big chore at the end of working the piece. Weaving in ends is my least favourite crafting thing.
After completing the graphgan pattern I worked eight rounds of border stitching to complete the afghan and happily put it in the mail to my youngest child who has four cats. When Canada Post ends their strike, sometime in the next who-knows-how-long, my work may reach its intended destination. Just like figuring out how to crochet from a graphgan, patience is the most important requirement.

When I walked uptown to run an errand today (taking pictures of cycle parking infrastructure!😀 ) I had an encounter that I had hoped might happen. I met up with our neighbourhood Canada Post letter carrier. I was able to tell her that I support her union's job action, and that I'm angry that the federal government forced postal workers back to work today. And I wished her well.
