Winnipeg emergency crews were called to another Canada Post depot after a report of a suspicious package on Wednesday. The depot, at the corner of Nairn Avenue and Panet Road, was evacuated shortly after 8:30 a.m. The bomb unit, with bomb-detecting dogs, swept through the building and gave the all-clear after 11 a.m. By 11:30, emergency crews were packing up to leave, but a spokesman for the Canadian Union of Postal Workers said some employees have decided to go home for the day, citing stress. Todd Jarema , the CUPW regional representative, said a lot of workers are scared by the recent spate of suspicious package calls. Emergency crews have been responding to calls all week, since last Friday's law office bombing that seriously injured Maria Mitousis. Two other packages were detonated through the weekend and police say they were all sent through Canada Post.
