Canada Post Suspends Operations

An ongoing labor dispute between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers has escalated to a full lockout. Canada Post has announced that, effective today, mail will not be accepted or delivered across Canada until further notice.
The lockout impacts all shipments to and from Canada handled by Canada Post, as well as shipments into Canada via postal carriers such as USPS or Royal Mail.

Does that count for UPS and FedEx as well?

UPS and FEDEX are different companies

Ups and Fedex are not affected in anyway. They are separate companies from the USPS.

Effective today, US Postal Service will only be delivering EXPRESS packages/letters to Canada as those are contracted via private currier. Hopefully the Canadian strike will not be long in duration.
