In Italy, the state-run postal service Poste Italiane is not just the largest mobile virtual network operator in the country, but just bought a stake in Telecom Italia.
Imagine if we unleashed and empowered Canada Post to do something similar in Canada.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
