With dozens already killed in Gaza City this weekend, and an Israeli salt plowing through residential neighborhoods, even a hint of war ending, is welcome.

But talk of a peace deal is swirling, a 21-point plan presented by U.S. President Donald Trump to Arab leaders last week, and on the agenda when he meets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. The plan reportedly calls for several elements. demanded by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and others, an end to the Gaza War and a withdrawal of Israeli forces, and a long-term role for the Palestinian Authority, no role for Hamas.

45 days to submit a plan to cut costs. Among the changes, Ottawa has proposed, cutting door-to-door mail delivery. And that prompted the union representing postal workers to go on strike. John Hamilton is Canada Post's Vice President of Communications. It's unfortunate the union went on strike. We'd prefer to be sitting down having tough conversations face-to-face, even if it wasn't about collective agreements about these changes and how we implement them. Hamilton tells CBC's Rosemary Barton Live that the changes will allow Canada Post to be a leaner organization moving forward. Jim Gallant is a negotiator with the Canadian Union of Postal workers.

He says these changes are all about Canada Post and its... bottom line, not about better serving Canadians. They're the things at the table that they wanted, things like closures of post offices and the end of door-to-door, and we refuse those. The modernization plan for Canada Post would include the closing of nearly 4,000 locations. It would also end door-to-door delivery for some 4 million addresses.
