WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service says it will stop accepting most mail to Canada effective on Saturday night.

Postal officials said they were acting because it appears labor problems being experienced by Canada Post will continue at least into sometime next week.

The post office will continue to accept items to Canada sent by its premium Global Express Guaranteed service, which is delivered in Canada by FedEx Express.
