Story summary

As of October 22, 2026, Doug Ettinger, CEO of Canada Post, announced "early signs" of financial recovery for the postal service despite ongoing financial challenges. According to Ettinger, Canada Post is regaining some of the parcel delivery market it lost since 2019 by offering shipping discounts to small businesses and promoting a new online marketplace for direct consumer sales. Despite these efforts, Canada Post continues to face revenue declines and higher losses in the first half of the year. To address operational inefficiencies, Ettinger acknowledged that the company's network of post offices is "overbuilt" in urban areas and must be scaled down, though he emphasized that rural and remote communities will not be abandoned.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith had already claimed victory on the immigration questions, saying it appeared she was going to be given clear direction from voters to move ahead, although she hinted it could take some time for her government to act.
