• They're boosting staff, vehicles, aircraft, and equipment to handle the festive frenzy.

• Expect extended post office hours, more pickup/drop-off locations, and expanded weekend delivery.

• Toronto's new parcel processing facility will enhance efficiency, mainly since most Canadian parcels originate from the Greater Toronto Area.

Keep in Mind:

• Regular mail in Canada typically takes 2-4 business days, but be mindful of weather and mail volume impacts.

• Last year, severe winter storms caused delivery suspensions and delays, so sending your packages early is wise!

Mark your calendars and get those gifts wrapped and ready! With some planning, your holiday packages will spread joy right on schedule. 🎁📬🎅

📉 Frank Stronach on the Decline of Canadian Entrepreneurs 🇨🇦✂️

A prominent business figure, Frank Stronach, sheds light on a concerning trend in Canada's entrepreneurial landscape. Here's a snapshot of his insights:

The Alarming Trend:

• A study by the Business Development Bank of Canada and the University of Montreal reveals a sharp decline in Canadian entrepreneurs.

• Canada has 100,000 fewer entrepreneurs today than in 2000, despite an 8 million population increase.

• The rate of new business ventures has significantly dropped from three out of every 1,000 Canadians to just one.

The Core Issues:

• The business environment has become increasingly complex, posing challenges for new and small businesses.

• Stronach points to government red tape and heavy taxation as primary obstacles stifling small business growth.

• The struggle of small business owners, working long hours with little pay, deters many from starting their ventures.

The Way Forward:

• Stronach suggests fostering entrepreneurial spirit early, starting in high school.

• He emphasizes reducing government interference and financial burdens on small businesses.

• Proposing an economic charter of rights, Stronach advocates for eliminating business income tax and reducing regulatory burdens.

The Potential Impact:

• Easing these constraints could lead to a surge in entrepreneurship, spurring innovation and job creation.

• Stronach believes that thriving small businesses are key to revitalizing Canada's economy. 🚀📈🇨🇦

SARA

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

With its cool, almost monastic modernity, Sara is a place to keep the outside world at bay—the tables are even designed with center compartments for storing phones. Reconnection and shared experiences seem to be the theme here, where a globally inspired, contemporary shared plates menu takes center stage. Fret not if you've arrived solo, as many dishes are available in half-portions for a deeper survey of the kitchen's ability. 

And able they are. Standouts include ikura latkes, featuring two butternut squash latkes topped with a lemon chive crème fraîche, smoked ikura and finished with a maple kombu drizzle. Alaskan king crab is served with a nuoc cham sauce and topped with crispy fried rice finished with avocado, curls of scallion and cilantro.
