Is Canada Post Cutting Jobs?

Yes. Canada Post is planning to eliminate approximately 30,000 jobs by 2035 — largely through retirements and voluntary departures.

The bombshell announcement comes as the Crown corporation navigates a record $1.57‑billion loss in 2025 and mounting political pressure to return to profitability.
