Canada Post heads back into bargaining with union after delay
Plans to rekindle talks late last week were delayed due to a lack of federal government mediators.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers claimed labour unrest at Air Canada was pulling attention from the postal service's dispute, which has stretched on for more than a year and a half.
A few weeks ago, unionized postal workers rejected the Crown corporation's latest offer that would have included wage hikes of around 13 per cent over four years and added part-timers to the workforce.
Canada Post is seeking a formal response from the union on those proposals and has warned the postal service is bleeding millions of dollars in business daily tied to uncertainty around collective bargaining.
The union says it has prepared offers that meet members' demands and is upholding a ban on overtime work in the meantime.

Live updates: Texas GOP poised to vote on new gerrymandered district map
The first domino in a growing national redistricting battle is likely to fall Wednesday as the Republican-controlled Texas legislature is expected to pass a new congressional map creating five new winnable seats for the GOP. The vote follows prodding by President Donald Trump, eager to stave off a midterm defeat that would deprive his party of control of the House of Representatives, and weeks of delays after dozens of Texas Democratic state lawmakers fled the state in protest. Some Democrats returned Monday, only to be assigned round-the-clock police escorts to ensure their attendance at Wednesday's session. Those who refused to be monitored were confined to the House floor, where they protested on a livestream Tuesday night. Furious national Democrats have vowed payback for the Texas map, with California's legislature poised to approve new maps adding more Democratic-friendly seats later this week. The map would still need to be approved by that state's voters in November.

Yes, Job Searching Is Hard—And You Can Still Do It
Jaide Massin, Author & Exec. Coach, is founder of Soar Executive Coaching helping leaders grow with clarity, courage, and impact. Let's get real about job searching for a minute. Yes, it's going to take longer than you expect. Yes, it's going to feel uncomfortable. Yes, you're going to have to put yourself out there. And yes, you'll probably get rejected more than once. But none of that means you're doing it wrong. It means you're job searching. Job searching isn't just about finding a job. It's about rediscovering what you want, reintroducing yourself to the market and reminding yourself—and others—of the value you bring. And that process? It can shake your confidence, feel vulnerable and wear you down. But here's the truth: You only need one job. One "yes." And that yes comes when you stop trying to do it all alone and start doing it intentionally. The Job Seekers Who Get Hired Do These Five Things 1. They believe they'll get hired. Not in a fake-it-til-you-make-it way, but with quiet, grounded confidence. They show up as if the job is coming—because they believe it is. 2. They align their tools with the job they want. Your résumé, LinkedIn profile and interview answers should reflect the level and role you're targeting. If they don't? That's where a résumé writer or career coach can help. 3. They tell people. They're not embarrassed to say, "I'm job searching." They tell former colleagues, mentors, friends—even their dentist. The more people who know, the more doors open. 4. They give as well as take. They share leads, make intros and offer help because they understand that career momentum is often a two-way street. 5. They ask better questions. Instead of "Know of any jobs?" they ask: • "What skills are most valuable at your company right now?" • "Who else should I be speaking with?" • "If you were me, where would you focus next?" Better questions spark better conversations, and those lead to real opportunities. They Also Start Before You Think They Do The most successful job seekers don't wait until they're desperate. They stay aware of the market. They take interviews even when they're not looking, just to stay sharp. They keep their networks warm. In this market, you need to be one step ahead, always. Quick Tips For Staying In The Game LinkedIn is still the no. 1 place to look and network. Keep your profile up to date and aligned with your target. Engage. Comment. Reconnect. Check your frustration at the door. It's okay to feel it—briefly. But staying stuck in it won't get you results. Action will. Ask yourself daily: • What did I accomplish today? • Who can I connect with tomorrow? • What filters, companies or roles haven't I explored yet? • Who can I speak with at a company I want to work for? And If You Need Help? Hiring a coach or résumé writer is bringing in a professional to fix a problem you may not even realize is costing you. Think of it as an investment—in your future, your family, your peace of mind. If your messaging or your approach is off, it could be holding you back. And that delay compounds over time. Final Thoughts You only get one shot at your career. Don't guess. And consider not going it alone. You've done hard things before. You can do this, too.
