Your daily horoscope: February 5

                   HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY Aquarius is one of the zodiac’s fixed signs, which means you don’t change your ways often. This year, however, you must learn to be more adaptable, especially where new technology and new techniques are concerned. Don’t get stuck in the past. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): You must resist going to extremes over the next 24 hours, because if you allow the overly assertive side of your nature to take over you will almost certainly provoke a backlash.

Northern Communities Fear 'Christmas is Cancelled' Amid Canada Post Strike


Northern communities in Canada are feeling the strain of the ongoing Canada Post strike, with residents expressing concerns that Christmas might be cancelled this year. The strike, which began on November 15, has disrupted mail and parcel deliveries, leaving many without essential goods and services.

In small towns like Lynn Lake, Manitoba, the strike has had a significant impact. Mayor Brandon Dulewich highlighted that Canada Post is an essential service for the community, and the lack of deliveries is causing serious issues. Residents are struggling to receive medical prescriptions, cheques for social assistance, and other critical items.

Local businesses are also feeling the pinch. Dan Driediger, who runs a map business in Missinipe, Saskatchewan, has lost 70% of his business since the strike began. He fears that without a resolution, the remaining 30% of his orders might be cancelled, further jeopardizing his livelihood.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has urged the federal government to intervene, emphasizing the disproportionate impact on rural and remote communities. With no alternative courier services available in many areas, residents are left waiting and hoping for a swift resolution.

As the holiday season approaches, the worry grows that Christmas might be cancelled for many in these northern communities. The federal government has yet to impose binding arbitration or back-to-work legislation, leaving residents and businesses in a state of uncertainty.
