Vancouver rundown for Friday, September 26, 2025.
Canada's postal workers have started strike action
after the federal government announced plans
to end door -to -door delivery. Ottawa's move
is an attempt to end huge and growing losses
at Canada Post. The government's plan also includes
the closure of post offices in areas that were
once rural but are now suburban. The Canadian
Union of Postal Workers says... The changes are
drastic. Cup W is not saying how long it plans
to continue the strike. Other news. The federal
inmate who fatally stabbed serial killer Robert
Pickton at a Quebec prison has pleaded guilty
to first -degree murder. Martin Charest has admitted
to stabbing Pickton with a broken broom handle
at the Port Carcher Penitentiary in May of 2024.
Charest says he did it for the victims. Pickton
was convicted of six counts of second -degree
murder. Buck confessed to killing 49 women from
the Vancouver Downtown Eastside at his Coquitlam
pig farm. Langley RCMP are not saying much after
a police vehicle collided with a civilian car
at 200th Street and 72 Avenue on Wednesday. They
say an officer was responding to a crime in progress
when it happened. There's no word on any injuries,
but a driver has identified themselves on social
media as the person hit after the police vehicle
went through a red light. The Mounties on Vancouver
Island are looking into a scheme that left some
Nickelback fans with fake wristbands and unable
to go to an August 9th concert at Lake Cowichan.
A suspect has been arrested, but police fear
there are more victims who have not come forward
to report being duped. The concert was Nickelback's
first Vancouver Island performance in almost
20 years. Clouds and showers on Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday. Much cooler conditions with inland
highs in the upper teens. For all the details
