The quaint tradition of Canada Post strikes now holds little consequence for most Canadians, highlighting a need for adaptation in a digital age.

A Canadian Tradition Losing Its Stamp

In a nation synonymous with iconic symbols like the Mounties, the Rockies, and maple syrup, the spectacle of a Canada Post strike feels like another quintessentially Canadian tradition. Yet, in a rapidly evolving world, the impact of such strikes has become a curious mix of nostalgia and irrelevance, affecting only a select few—businesses clinging to traditional mailing systems, seniors, and those in remote regions.

News: Canada Post presents new offer to union, including 13 per cent wage hike and weekend delivery

Canada Post’s holiday strike highlights the absurdity of outdated labor tactics in a world where private alternatives thrive, pushing Canadians to move on permanently from a once-vital service.

December 13, 2024

Canada Post, once a pillar of Canadian communication, now struggles to find its footing in a digital age. The recent labor disputes and potential strikes highlight not just the financial chaos within the organization, but also a disconnect between its administration, workers, and the broader economic realities faced by Canadians. The Crown corporation’s financial woes are well-documented, with billions in losses and an increasing reliance on government bailouts. Meanwhile, private couriers have seized a significant portion of the market, thriving on efficiency and adaptability—qualities that Canada Post seems to lack.

For most Canadians, a postal strike today evokes little more than a shrug. The reality is that many have already adapted to a world where communication is instantaneous and transactions are digital. The memory of last year’s strike, which disrupted holiday plans, is still fresh, but rather than generating public sympathy, it served as a catalyst for many to explore alternative solutions. The public’s patience with these disruptions is wearing thin, and the notion of a strike as a bargaining tool appears increasingly futile.

The stakes are undoubtedly higher for those who rely on traditional mail services—businesses that depend on Canada Post for survival, elderly citizens accustomed to paper bills, and remote communities without reliable internet access. For them, the postal service remains a lifeline. However, their numbers are dwindling, and their voices are becoming a faint echo in a digital world.

November 21, 2018 – Postal Strike Christmas

As the administrators, workers, and union leaders of Canada Post stand at this crossroads, they must confront an uncomfortable truth. The economic challenges faced by all Canadians—rising inflation, interest rate hikes, supply chain disruptions—demand adaptation and innovation. Ignoring these realities risks pushing Canada Post further into obsolescence, much like the Hudson’s Bay Company, which struggled to modernize in time.

A strike that once held the nation’s attention may now barely register as background noise to a public that has moved on. The quaintness of a postal strike, once a formidable force, has become a relic of the past. Canada Post’s survival hinges on its ability to embrace change, lest it fades into irrelevance, another chapter in Canadian history met with little more than nostalgic indifference.


Postal Strikes, Cryptocurrency, and the Modern Economy: A Tale of Two Worlds

Throughout my years of drawing cartoons, I’ve seen the familiar uproar whenever Canada Post goes on strike. These strikes often split Canadians into two camps: those supporting the union and those upset about late cheques and undelivered cards. The strikes have become as Canadian as hockey or the maple leaf, yet even Canada Post seems to be fading into history.

Thursday December 4, 1997 – Looking back from 28 years later, the 1997 postal workers’ protest against back-to-work legislation, with threats of free mail and delivery errors, seems like a quaint reminder of when snail mail drama was a headline grabber, before the days of inbox overload and instant messaging. Keen observers of my Young Doug Ford series will note Doug Ford Sr. always depicted from his arm chair reading his favourite tabloid, The Toronto Sun, often blazing a headline grousing over the latest Postie labour issue. 

Despite financial challenges, Canada Post survives because the government considers it essential. With Canada’s vast distances and many people still depending on traditional mail, the postal service still has a role. But for many, it seems like a costly service, mostly delivering ads and junk mail.

In my 28 years in the media industry, I’ve watched the digital age change everything. Media often gets labelled as “fake news” and faces criticism for needing government help, but my work remains independent, and our real support comes from loyal subscribers.

At The Hamilton Spectator, my salary is similar to a postal worker’s. Despite not having had a raise in years, we stay passionate about our work. Many of us find extra jobs to cope with rising costs, and benefits have been reduced. Recently, 200 Canada Revenue Service workers lost their jobs but got good severance packages—something most media workers can’t count on.

I’m not complaining, just pointing out a reality many in unstable jobs face. Whether it’s traditional media, car manufacturing, or anything at risk of being replaced by technology, or tariffs, the future is uncertain. The postal service is under the spotlight now, but we must remember these are real people with real challenges. Many of us worry as we see plans that seem to burden the middle class while promising tax cuts for the wealthy.

November 30, 2016

Wednesday November 30, 2016 – The CBC asked for an extra $400 million to ditch ads, and my snarky cartoon pointed out the irony of print media cheering for a broadcaster that was happily munching on their lunch.

It’s interesting that those who complain the most about media subsidies also oppose carbon taxes, ignoring the big government handouts to the oil industry. This criticism misses the wider picture of government aid.

Wednesday April 3, 2024 –  Justin Trudeau’s government faced criticism for its climate policies, especially as it continued to subsidize fossil fuel industries while professing a commitment to climate action, revealing a significant inconsistency in its approach.

May 22 2025

Meanwhile, the world of cryptocurrency is booming with quick profits, driven by fast-talking tech-savvy people. The Trump administration’s recent party for $Trump coin seems like another spectacle for us to watch, showing how the wealthy play with profits without adding much value to society. In a world where meaningful work often goes unnoticed, this is quite the contrast.

As we stagger in these uncertain times, it’s important to understand the bigger picture. Whether it’s the struggles of traditional industries or the rise of new, speculative ones, recognizing these dynamics can help us appreciate those who truly contribute to society.

Victoria Day takes on new significance as Canada reaffirms its sovereignty in response to U.S. rhetoric and diplomatic tensions.

Editorial Cartoon by Graeme MacKay, The Hamilton Spectator – Saturday May 17, 2025

Victoria Day Vindication

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's meeting with Donald Trump, highlighted by Kevin O'Leary's theatrical presence and ambitions, underscores the complex dynamics and urgent need for a unified Canadian strategy in light of impending U.S. tariffs.

January 13, 2025

As Canadians ready themselves for the long-awaited May two-four weekend, a celebration traditionally filled with barbecues, beer, and the unofficial launch of summer, this year’s observance takes on a deeper resonance. Victoria Day, a holiday that honours the long-deceased Queen Victoria, has evolved over time to become a moment of reflection on our nation’s heritage, rather than merely a nod to our constitutional monarchy.

However, in 2025, amidst a backdrop of strained relations with our southern neighbour, the United States, this holiday carries heightened significance. The recent tensions, sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian imports and his dismissive rhetoric about Canada as the “51st state,” underscore a growing need for Canada to affirm its sovereignty and unique identity.

Trump's Court: The New Era of American Monarchy

March 6, 2025

President Trump’s affinity for monarchy and grand ceremonies, recently illustrated during his tour of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, where he was enveloped in luxurious tributes and golden welcomes, contrasts sharply with Canada’s steadfast commitment to its own democratic principles and global partnerships. His anticipated state visit to the United Kingdom, featuring dinner with King Charles III, further emphasizes his penchant for spectacle over substance.

In this climate, the upcoming Speech from the Throne, presided over by Canada’s new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, and featuring the King’s speech, serves as a powerful reminder of our rich history and sovereign status. It is a moment that not only honours our past but also projects our commitment to an independent future on the global stage.

Prime Minister Carney’s recent meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office, where he firmly stated that “Canada is not for sale,” encapsulates the spirit of resilience and dignity that defines our nation. As we mark Victoria Day, we do so with the understanding that our ties to the monarchy are part of a broader tapestry of national identity, one that embraces diversity, democracy, and international cooperation.

March 1, 2025

The rhetoric of reducing Canada to a mere extension of the United States must come to an end. Our nation, with its rich history as an old confederation and a proud member of the global community, stands firm in its values and principles. This Victoria Day, as Canadians gather to celebrate with family and friends, let us also take a moment to reflect on the significance of our sovereignty, the strength of our alliances, and the enduring legacy of our constitutional traditions.

In recognizing these truths, we honour not only our past but also our present and future as a nation that commands respect and partnership, not as a subordinate, but as an equal on the world stage.

Canada's upcoming election becomes a historic moment amid Trump's global disruptions, challenging its sovereignty and international role.

Canada’s Historic Moment Amidst Trump’s Global Disruptions

April 2, 2025

In the annals of modern history, few leaders have managed to cast as wide and as contentious a shadow as Donald Trump. His second term as President of the United States has proven to be an era of unprecedented upheaval, marked by a series of aggressive and unpredictable maneuvers that have sent shockwaves through global political and economic systems. As Canada stands on the brink of a pivotal federal election, Trump’s influence looms large, creating a historic moment that could redefine the nation’s role on the world stage.

From the outset, Trump’s presidency has been a whirlwind of controversy and disruption. His recent threats to annex Canada and impose punitive tariffs have not only strained bilateral relations but have also thrust Canadian politics into the international spotlight. Mark Carney, the Liberal leader and a former central banker, finds himself in a unique position. His expertise and calm demeanour in the face of Trump’s provocations have resonated with voters seeking stability in uncertain times. Inadvertently, Trump has become a significant factor in Canada’s electoral calculus, making this election one of the most consequential in recent memory.

Canada's snap election offers a pivotal opportunity for voters to decide the nation's direction amid economic and geopolitical challenges.

March 21, 2025

The impact of Trump’s policies is not confined to North America. Across the globe, allies and partners are reassessing their relationships with the United States. The European Union, once a steadfast ally, now contemplates a future where it must forge stronger ties internally and with other global powers to counterbalance an unpredictable U.S. administration. Trump’s disregard for established international norms and his penchant for unilateral actions have left many nations grappling with the reality of a world order in flux.

For Canada, this moment presents both challenges and opportunities. Trump’s actions have underscored the vulnerabilities inherent in over-reliance on a single ally, prompting a reevaluation of Canada’s foreign policy and trade strategies. The positive international reception of Carney’s leadership during this crisis highlights Canada’s potential to lead in building multilateral relationships that transcend traditional alliances. This is Canada’s moment to assert itself as a resilient and adaptable nation, capable of navigating the complexities of a rapidly changing global landscape.

Opinion: Donald Trump can’t stop trash talking Canada. That may be the reminder we need

Trump's tariffs, justified by a fentanyl pretext, strain U.S.-Canada relations, threaten economic stability, and serve broader political agendas.

March 5, 2025

Yet, the path forward is fraught with uncertainty. Trump’s polarizing presence is both exhausting and dangerous, not only for the United States and Canada but for the world at large. His willingness to upend decades of diplomatic progress in favour of short-term gains and headline-grabbing antics threatens the stability of international systems built on cooperation and mutual respect. As nations scramble to adjust, the spectre of a fragmented global order looms large, with unpredictable consequences for economic and geopolitical stability.

In these historic times, Canada’s election serves as a microcosm of the broader global struggle to adapt to a new era of leadership defined by disruption and unpredictability. As Canadians head to the polls, they do so with the knowledge that their choice will resonate far beyond their borders, shaping not only their nation’s future but also its place within the international community.

The escalating Canada-U.S. trade tensions, driven by President Trump's tariffs, have united Canadians across political lines and spurred retaliatory actions, while opening discussions on diversifying trade partnerships.

February 4, 2025

In the face of such challenges, it is imperative that Canada—and indeed the world—remains steadfast in its commitment to the principles of diplomacy, cooperation, and resilience. Only by embracing these values can we hope to navigate the turbulent waters of the present and chart a course toward a more stable and inclusive future.


Not Going Away

So, here’s the scoop: We’ve got this new guy in the neighbourhood, and let’s just say he’s quite the boor and buffoon. But unlike your typical troublesome neighbour, this guy isn’t just a headache for the folks nearby—oh no, he’s a well-known nuisance to everyone up and down the street, and even to the people across the block.

The kicker is the crew he’s got living under the same roof with him. You’ve got J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., Howard Lutnick, Kash Patel—the list keeps going. And then there are the friends who just can’t stay away, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lindsey Graham, and Ted Cruz, all adding to the chaos. It’s like a never-ending parade of drama and misery that these new folks are bringing to everyone around them.

Picture this: We used to have civilized people in that house. Now, it’s filled with nasty folks who can’t seem to get along with anyone, always tossing around insults. There’s no kindness, just this glaring sense of entitlement.

And then there’s Donald Trump, who loves to repeat his mantra—“We don’t need Canada” or “Canada would make a fine 51st state.” Seriously, it’s like he wants Canada but also claims the USA doesn’t need it. Who in their right mind thinks this is a way to win friends? It’s maddening, insulting, and downright bullying.

This is the backdrop as Canadian voters head to the polls next week. Why Trump gets a kick out of this is anyone’s guess, but it’s definitely something for the voters to think about as they cast their ballots.

Fentanyl as a Flimsy Ruse – Unveiling the Real Motives Behind Trump’s Economic Gambit

Tuesday February 4, 2025

From a Canadian perspective, the recent decision by President Trump to impose steep 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, under the guise of addressing fentanyl trafficking, appears to be a thinly veiled pretext for what is essentially an economic war with America’s closest allies. The real motives seem to lie elsewhere, and the consequences of this strategy are likely to be far-reaching and detrimental, particularly for Canada.

News: Justin Trudeau slams Donald Trump’s ‘totally false’ justification for tariffs

The claim that these tariffs are necessary to combat fentanyl flows is tenuous at best. Data indicates that the majority of fentanyl entering the U.S. originates from other sources, such as China and Mexico, not Canada. This casts doubt on the validity of using fentanyl as a primary justification for such drastic economic measures against a long-standing ally.

February 2, 2025

Trump’s determination to impose tariffs, regardless of the economic damage they inflict, signals a broader agenda. The tariffs are poised to raise substantial revenue, potentially funding a hefty tax cut for the wealthiest Americans—a promise Trump has long been eager to fulfill. While this may serve the interests of a select few, it raises serious questions about whether it will genuinely improve the cost of living for everyday Americans or Canadians, who are caught in the crossfire.

The impact on consumers and industries cannot be overstated. As tariffs increase the cost of goods, from cars to everyday essentials like eggs, the financial burden will inevitably fall on households across both countries. The ripple effects will extend to industries that rely on cross-border trade, threatening jobs and destabilizing the very economic sectors that underpin our prosperity.

WSJ: Trump Takes the Dumbest Tariff Plunge

The Wall Street Journal has aptly criticized these measures, labeling them as some of the “dumbest tariffs” imposed in recent history. This sentiment echoes the concerns of economists and trade experts who warn of the profound negative consequences that such policies can unleash. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau echoed it in a direct response to the President during a press conference with the statement, “Donald, This is a Very Dumb Thing To Do.”

Canada faces unprecedented challenges as it deals with U.S. tariff threats, prompting a reevaluation of its economic and diplomatic strategies in a rapidly changing global landscape.

January 31, 2025

or Canada, the interconnected nature of the North American auto sector, with its intricate cross-border supply chains, will face tremendous pressures as these tariffs take hold. Undoing the current processes and reliance built into this sector will not only take a long time to untangle but will also cost countless jobs across a wide range of industries. The complexity and integration developed over decades cannot simply be unraveled without severe economic fallout.

Moreover, the diplomatic fallout is significant. By alienating traditional allies and neighbours, Trump risks not only economic repercussions but also a deterioration of trust and cooperation on a myriad of global issues. For Canada, this means grappling with strained relations at a time when collaboration and mutual support are more critical than ever.

News: Donald Trump jolts stock markets with plan to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico

In pursuing this economic gambit, Trump appears willing to gamble with the economic stability of both nations and the livelihoods of millions. The promise of a short-term fiscal gain for a privileged few comes at the expense of long-term economic health and international goodwill. It is a strategy fraught with peril and one that Canadians, alongside our American neighbours, may find difficult to reconcile.

As the situation unfolds, it is imperative to critically examine the motivations and implications of these policies. The stakes are high, and the path forward requires thoughtful consideration of the broader economic and diplomatic landscape—one that values collaboration over confrontation and prosperity over protectionism.


Prime Minister Trudeau’s response to President Trump’s tariffs was spot on, echoing the Wall Street Journal with “Donald, this is a very dumb thing to do.” Unusually direct, but it sends a strong message. Trump shot back by mocking Trudeau, even calling him the “Governor of the state of Canada.”

Now, with the stock markets tanking, Trump’s Commerce Secretary Lutnick says they’re looking for a middle ground on these tariffs. Seems like the market reaction is forcing a rethink, though the damage is done. Canadians are rallying to buy local, which is something. A bridge between the two countries has been burned and it’ll take years or even generations before trust is restored, all thanks to Trump.

I’ve been hard on Trudeau in the past, but he’s handling this and other issues like Ukraine well, especially with only five days left in office.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer strategically employs the British monarchy to gain favour with Trump, while Canada faces challenges under his administration.

Recruiting Canada’s King For UK’s Strategic Flattery

June 4, 2012

In the nuanced world of international diplomacy, flattery has emerged as a key strategy for world leaders aiming to win favour with U.S. President Donald Trump. Recent developments involving the British monarchy, as well as Trump’s interactions with Australia and Canada, underscore the prominence of this diplomatic dance.

News: King Charles issues personal invite for Trump to visit Britain for state visit

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s recent invitation to Trump for a state visit, personally extended by King Charles III, exemplifies this approach. The British monarchy, with its historical gravitas and ceremonial splendour, serves as an effective means to capture Trump’s attention. For a president who appreciates grandeur and spectacle, the invitation is both a stroke to his ego and a diplomatic gesture. However, this timing is awkward for King Charles, who finds himself a pawn in a broader geopolitical play, potentially neglecting Canada, another Commonwealth realm.

September 30, 2022

Since his re-election, Trump has displayed a peculiar fixation on Canada, with rhetoric suggesting annexation and plans for severe economic measures, including a 25% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum. This leaves Canada facing the threat of an economic conflict with its largest trading partner, while seemingly sidelined by its closest Commonwealth allies.

In stark contrast, Australia has adeptly managed its relationship with Trump, emphasizing shared defence interests and economic ties, such as those rooted in the AUKUS agreement. Even when Trump appeared unfamiliar with the AUKUS acronym, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and other leaders downplayed the incident, reinforcing the broader, positive relationship. This showcases a strategic use of flattery and reassurance to maintain favour with the U.S.

Analysis: For Trump, Australia is nothing like Canada

December 16, 2019

Early in the week, French President Emmanuel Macron demonstrated similar tact with body language, flowery expressions of loyalty, and addressing Trump as “Dear Donald.” Such gestures highlight the lengths to which leaders will go to secure Trump’s favour.

For Canada, the situation raises a pressing question: If the British monarchy cannot utilize its historical ties to advocate for Canada during times of crisis, what benefit does this relationship provide? With the Canadian Liberals poised to choose their next leader on March 9, perhaps a new Prime Minister will seek to leverage the monarchy’s influence to counteract Trump’s economic threats. Until then, Canadians watch the fawning interactions between the U.S., the UK, and other Commonwealth countries, left to navigate Trump’s rhetoric and threats largely on their own. If King Charles can be persuaded to act on Canada’s behalf, it may rejuvenate the perceived value of these historic ties.


The Diplomacy Dance

It’s fascinating and frustrating how flattery seems to be the key to dealing with Trump. He seems to take any lack of deference as a personal insult to the United States. Take Zelenskyy, for instance—watching him get treated like a child while fighting off an invasion is just disgraceful.

On the flip side, Keir Starmer managed to charm Trump with a letter from King Charles, sidestepping those dreaded tariffs. It’s like watching a masterclass in diplomatic flattery. Meanwhile, here in Canada, we’re enduring Trump’s taunts and staring down the barrel of higher tariffs than even China. Given that King Charles is our King too, maybe it’s time we play that royal card in this high-stakes game Trump is playing with everyone.

Your support means the world, and I’m grateful to have this space to share these thoughts. Let’s keep the conversation going!
