It appears a full-blown strike by Canada Post union workers threatened at 12 a.m. Eastern this morning has been averted for now. The

Crown Corporation released a statement last night confirming that it had met with Cup W with the assistance of mediators, but that the meeting lasted less than a half hour with talks not leading to any meaningful progress. The union then released its own statement later calling on its members to refuse overtime work as of 12 a.m. Eastern this morning and to not exceed eight hours a day or 40 hours per week but did not rule out the possibility of strike action down the road. To New foundland and Labrador now where the results in the Terra Nova the peninsula's recount are expected today. The recount started nearly two weeks ago

leaving the candidates waiting and waiting for an outcome. The recount started nearly two weeks ago, leaving the candidates waiting and waiting for an outcome. The CBC's Heather Gillis reports. It's been 12 days since the automatic judicial recount started in Terra Nova, the peninsulas, and the outcome is finally expected later today. On election night, Liberal candidate Anthony Germain beat out Conservative candidate Jonathan Rowe by just 12 votes. It's a margin so tight, it triggered an automatic recount. It took election workers almost two full days to go through 41,000 ballots, leaving an unprecedented number of disputed ballots, 1,041 of them.

A judge has been going through every single one of those disputed ballots since the middle of last week. A spokesperson for the Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court says once Judge Garrett Handrigan makes a decision, he'll notify Elections Canada, which will publish the results. If the Liberals hold on, they'll have 170 seats in the House of Commons. But if it flips blue, that will bump up the Conservatives to 144 seats. Heather Gillis, CBC News, St. John's. Today marks three weeks since two young children were reported missing in Nova Scotia. There's

still no sign of them. RCMP have not ruled out that the case is suspicious. And now one area resident says the Mounties have asked her for hours of footage from her trail cameras. Kayla Hounsell has the latest. So these are the cameras that we like to use. Melissa Scott points to a small camera she's mounted to a tree. She has seven of them set up around her property, which is more than an eight kilometer drive from where Lily and Jack Sullivan were reported missing from their home on May 2nd. This week, Scott says two RCMP officers from the major crime unit showed up asking for

footage dating back five days before the children's parents called 911. I did mention to them that I was very happy to see them and glad that they were canvassing a little further and looking at trail cam footage and they did respond saying that they probably should have been around earlier. Police say they were told six-year-old Lily and four-year-old Jack had wandered away from their home in Lansdowne Station, an extremely rural area about 140 kilometers northeast of Halifax. It sparked an extensive search through dense woods. The RCMP declined an interview request. Kayla Hounsell, CBC News, Pictou County, Nova Scotia.

Former Liberal cabinet minister Marco Mendocino will be stepping down as Mark Carney's chief of staff. In an online post yesterday, Prime Minister Carney confirmed that he has asked Mendocino, who assumed the role when Carney was elected Liberal leader, as a temporary position to remain at his post into the summer until the government's mandate is presented in parliament and to help lead the transition of the PMO. There are reports suggesting the Toronto area MP may make a run at becoming Mayor of Toronto in 2026.
