RUTH BONNEVILLE / FREE PRESS Local - Postal Strike and makers Photo of soap maker, Leiah Bauer, who runs a small business called fApothecandy, sets up her booth at the Third + Bird Market Thursday. Local makers are among those feeling the weight of the Canada Post strike, which is heading into its first full week out of service. Leiah Bauer, a soap maker from rural Manitoba, is overstocking her booth for this weekend's Third + Bird market as she's had to turn off her shipping option on her online shop. The maker relies on Canada Post to ship her product since she doesn't live in a city centre where many makers offer local pick up, and she can't afford to pay for costly delivery alternatives.
