Not in the least. I've switched everything to electronic in anticipation, and I won't be going back.
Yes, it will affect me. I am waiting for an insurance claim to be processed, and they don't do direct deposit of cheques. Therefore I will be short of funds until after the strike is over. Personally, it really irks me that the Canada Post employees seem to go on strike each and every time their contract ends. It's no wonder people are moving to electronic banking and delivery of time sensitive documents.
Will be more of a nuisance since I pay all bills at the bank.
Not having mail means I have less junk mail (donation requests) to have to look at and throw out.
yes, it will affect me, I need to send a important package to Ottawa, and if not there in time, I will have to pay a penalty .
