  • 84% of respondents have been impacted by the Canada Post strike, ranging from a great deal of impact to very little impact.
  • Half of Canadians (55%) are concerned about disruptions to mail service due to the Canada Post strike. A similar proportion (54%) are concerned about disruptions to mail service, especially about possible delays during the holiday season.
  • 68% of Canadians support federal government intervention to impose arbitration and order Canada Post employees back to work. Support is higher among Quebecers (75%) and older respondents (73%) (55 years old and older).

Methodology

This web survey was conducted from December 13 to December 16, 2024, with 1,515 Canadians aged 18 or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel. A margin of error cannot be associated with a non-probability sample in a panel survey.

For comparison purposes, a probability sample of this size yields a margin of error no greater than ±2.52%, (19 times out of 20) for the Canadian sample.
