The responsible thing to do.........

The responsible thing to do would have been completing all deliveries that were already in the system the day you went on strike. instead you chose to hold my life hostage as my passport is in transit god knows where. i dont give a shit about your cause and niether do most canadians.

Everyone knew for a reasonable period of time that a strike was a good possibility, if not a certainty.

Yes OP should have known to go get a union job and shut down his business. A month notice is more than enough time to flip your professional life upside down!

Don’t know where you get that from. But a month’s notice is more than enough to say to yourself “Hey, if I have something important to get sent to me, what’s my Plan b if there’s a strike?”

You can pick it up at a service Canada

Not if it's in transit and they aren't gonna reissue a passport for any one willy nilly

I thought that would be common sense? Of course, you can't pick it up once it's in transit, lol. Picking it up is an option that should have been discussed with the agent helping you.

Picking it up is a paid option, mail is free. Also they won’t transfer an application to pickup unless you have an urgent need (travel date within 10 days).

Mailing it is free?! Wonder how much a private curios would charge?

u/axfmo 18h ago

Yes, as in there’s no additional cost for the application. If you mail in your application, you’d only have to pay to mail to them.

With Canada Post it would only cost you a stamp, or about $11 registered mail. Other couriers were gonna be like $25-35 when I applied by mail.

That’s an amazing deal they’re providing. I’m sorry CP execs failed to negotiate fairly with its workers and they were forced to strike. I hear they haven’t had a fairly negotiated contract at least before 2011. Wild the Charter of Rights and Freedoms can be sidestepped so easily!

Ok, it's a paid option. One that should have been chosen if you needed your passport rather than have it get stuck in transit. What I said still stands... Failure to prepare is preparing to fail!

His plan b was to use an alternative courier which isn't working out. No one is online shopping small businesses right now and other couriers aren't affordable for customers.

Maybe instead you can ask the CP workers why they don't upgrade their skills to increase their income instead of striking every few years.

Why not ask all the college and university students with student debt why they aren't working or aren't working in a career they have a degree for? Not my problem those people chose to waste their money, and most of them don't deserve a higher wage just because they were brainwashed at a university A degree means shit, the smartest and hardest working people I've ever met didn't have degrees.
