Saw you at maker faire but don't know you nearly well enough to be brave enough to say hi!
Anyhooo...dear to my heart because I work at a post office (but not part of the union) 1. This last bit wasn't a postal strike - it was a full on lockout by the Canada Post Corp, closing operations so that the workers who did want to work couldn't. They also didn't get paid. Before that, yes, they were striking but rotating every day in different cities so didn't affect mail as much. :) 2. They were legislated back to work yesterday, so you can mail stuff now!
Wish I could be a dual citizen...but Malaysia doesn't allow it! Boo! Good luck!
