I do not care if Canada post is ever profitable. It is a public service, everyone owns it. That’s valuable in and of itself.
We don’t ask the emergency room or public schools to turn a profit.
We ask them to be accessible for everyone to use.

The only thing I worry about if Pierre Poilievre gets kicked out as the Conservative leader, is who’s going to tell us that bees make honey? Or wait, is it flies that make honey and bees consume it? See, I’m already getting confused.

Some people seem very unnerved when you let them know what they said was normal. Like “what you just said is a perfectly normal thing to say” or “this conversation is quite normal.” Instead of feeling congratulated, they feel like something is wrong. Very odd.
