As the Canada Post labour negotiations halt and mediation talks are suspended, @DanTisch, President and CEO of the @OntarioCofC, issued a statement calling for an immediate resolution to the ongoing nationwide labour strike and highlighting the challenges facing businesses as a result.
“This is more than a labour dispute or a logistical challenge; it’s an economic risk to Canada. Instead of thriving during the holidays, businesses face delays, damaged reputations, and lost sales,” said Daniel.

Today, the @OntarioCofC's President and CEO, @DanTisch, released a statement calling for immediate and unified action by Canadian political leaders following the incoming U.S. administration’s threat to impose a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods.
Tisch outlined some of the key business implications on both sides of the border, including:
👉 Devastating impacts on manufacturing, agriculture, and tech sectors
👉 Putting supply chains at risk
👉 Declining investor confidence
👉 Job losses
Our economic interdependence is not just a statistic—it's our collective lifeline. It’s time for strategic, collaborative leadership. #TradeMatters #CanadaUSRelations
