00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:04.459
Vancouver rundown for Friday, September 26, 2025.

00:00:05.900 --> 00:00:08.919
Canada's postal workers have started strike action

00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:11.320
after the federal government announced plans

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.619
to end door -to -door delivery. Ottawa's move

00:00:14.619 --> 00:00:17.320
is an attempt to end huge and growing losses

00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.460
at Canada Post. The government's plan also includes

00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:23.600
the closure of post offices in areas that were

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.660
once rural but are now suburban. The Canadian

00:00:26.660 --> 00:00:29.670
Union of Postal Workers says... The changes are

00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:32.990
drastic. Cup W is not saying how long it plans

00:00:32.990 --> 00:00:36.630
to continue the strike. Other news. The federal

00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:39.130
inmate who fatally stabbed serial killer Robert

00:00:39.130 --> 00:00:41.950
Pickton at a Quebec prison has pleaded guilty

00:00:41.950 --> 00:00:45.450
to first -degree murder. Martin Charest has admitted

00:00:45.450 --> 00:00:47.649
to stabbing Pickton with a broken broom handle

00:00:47.649 --> 00:00:51.189
at the Port Carcher Penitentiary in May of 2024.

00:00:51.990 --> 00:00:55.289
Charest says he did it for the victims. Pickton

00:00:55.289 --> 00:00:57.670
was convicted of six counts of second -degree

00:00:57.670 --> 00:01:00.890
murder. Buck confessed to killing 49 women from

00:01:00.890 --> 00:01:04.049
the Vancouver Downtown Eastside at his Coquitlam

00:01:04.049 --> 00:01:08.510
pig farm. Langley RCMP are not saying much after

00:01:08.510 --> 00:01:11.209
a police vehicle collided with a civilian car

00:01:11.209 --> 00:01:16.010
at 200th Street and 72 Avenue on Wednesday. They

00:01:16.010 --> 00:01:19.170
say an officer was responding to a crime in progress

00:01:19.170 --> 00:01:22.269
when it happened. There's no word on any injuries,

00:01:22.469 --> 00:01:25.290
but a driver has identified themselves on social

00:01:25.290 --> 00:01:28.870
media as the person hit after the police vehicle

00:01:28.870 --> 00:01:32.450
went through a red light. The Mounties on Vancouver

00:01:32.450 --> 00:01:35.069
Island are looking into a scheme that left some

00:01:35.069 --> 00:01:39.769
Nickelback fans with fake wristbands and unable

00:01:39.769 --> 00:01:43.170
to go to an August 9th concert at Lake Cowichan.

00:01:43.370 --> 00:01:45.969
A suspect has been arrested, but police fear

00:01:45.969 --> 00:01:48.810
there are more victims who have not come forward

00:01:48.810 --> 00:01:52.090
to report being duped. The concert was Nickelback's

00:01:52.090 --> 00:01:54.890
first Vancouver Island performance in almost

00:01:54.890 --> 00:01:58.750
20 years. Clouds and showers on Friday, Saturday,

00:01:58.909 --> 00:02:02.370
and Sunday. Much cooler conditions with inland

00:02:02.370 --> 00:02:06.109
highs in the upper teens. For all the details
