The Canadian postal workers are going on strike.
Negotiations broke down when the string between the tin cans they were communicating with abruptly snapped.

In a poll, most Canadians were surprised that the post office still exists, and felt that communicating via smoke signals is bad for your health.
In other news, doctors are calling for an end to bloodletting as a treatment for fever.
