Whether they sell baby clothes or medical marijuana, some businesses are looking at delivery alternatives after prolonged and uncertain negotiations, despite a tentative agreement announced last night between Canada Post and the union. Jennifer Babcock runs the small baby-wear business Eaby Chic from Ottawa, and says she lost national and international customers because of the uncertainty around Canada Post. While he says Canada Post will continue to be Tweed's main carrier, it will be important to have a range of delivery options when recreational marijuana is legalized. Bruce Linton, CEO and founder of Canopy Growth Corp., says Canada Post has been benefiting from the enormous growth in medical marijuana mail orders. He said Canada Post is committed to continuing to grow its parcel delivery service, which is the most successful part of the enterprise.
