The Canada Post strike continues, with a countrywide overtime ban in place and day-to-day operations mostly undisrupted. On Sunday, CUPW met with federal mediators to respond to Canada Post’s latest offer.

Until a resolution is found, local businesses are doing all they can to safeguard themselves. Kristy Cameron chats with Gareth Davies, who is the owner of a gift shop on Wellington Street West called ‘Maker House’.

CTV’s Mike LeCouteur explains further in Hour 2. Plus, we rekindle the 'drinking in parks' debate with CFRA's Chris Holski.
