Canada Post cuts to hit rural Manitoba towns
Canada Post plans to reduce employee hours starting August 19 affecting about 35 rural Manitoba towns in Manitoba. Critics say the changes will slow local delivery and shift work to Winnipeg, leaving rural customers paying the price. The Russell post office will separate local and out of town mail with out of town items shipped to Winnipeg overnight.
