The mail

I like getting the mail.  I even like getting bills.  I still get a little thrill when I see both Ben and my name on something.  This strike is annoying me though.  I think that Canada Post is digging it's own grave.  Although I appreciate that delivering mail might be stressful, I think that they are being too demanding.  Also I read this in a recent article about it.
"An agreement was reached with the CUPW in March to ensure delivery of the cheques, including those from the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, Veteran's Affairs Pension Plan, Canada Tax Benefit and Receiver General of Canada.
Canada Post also said Quebec's Pension, Child Assistance and Income Security cheques, as well as Alberta's pension cheques, will be delivered on that day."
It doesn't say Child Tax Benefit.  I actually use that for the maintenance of my child and know that a lot of people do.  I know the article goes on to say that Post offices will be open on June 20th so you can pick these cheques up.  I am going down there and checking to see if they just made a mistake or something but I may be writing a more annoyed post about this after.
