Jessica,
I just placed my order for their Mosquito Mk VI 418 Sqn sheet #1. To bad that they weren't included in their sale. But I'm just glad that the Canadian Postal Service agreed to stay at the bargaining table and not go on strike.

It still so hard for me to think that the Canadian Gov't would allow such a thing. Here in the States, they're an official branch of the Federal Gov't, and therefore can't strike.

Joel

Canada Post used to be the Royal Mail, but they got privatised by a previous Government in 1981 to "save money". They're what we call a Crown Corporation, which is a sort of arms-length company but still ultimately owned by the Government.

Of course none of that prevents the work force from belonging to Unions and engaging in collective bargaining. In this instance, it was the Corporation threatening a lockout rather than a strike, by the way.

Jessica,
That's even worse. But so far both parties are at the bargaining table, which is a good thing.

BTW, my decals were shipped today. I got a .74 cents refund as the exchange rate changed in my favor. They also sent me full color PDF file of the decal instruction sheet. That's just amazing service.
