Canada Post doesn't need to be profitable. It's a necessary service that we all pay for.

This is all about fucking over workers in the end. Killing rural jobs. Killing urban jobs.

Again for my MP, @anitavandenbeld.bsky.social, this was not a campaign issue and failure to recognize Canada Post as a PUBLIC SERVICE indicates that this government is fundamentally flawed.

Canada Post can't lose money it is a public service. In every situation like this I can't imagine a single thing that Pierre Poilievre would do different from Mark Carney

The only way to get anything to Nunavut where my daughter lives is via Canada Post. I once went to UPS..they took my parcel and for a tremendous amount of money said could get to Iqaluit - turned out they mailed it via Canada Post.

Reminder that all the talk about Canada Post being "insolvent" is bullshit. They are running it purposefully to make it seem that way. They spent $3billion on massive infrastructure against unions wishes. They own their own primary competitor, Purolator, that they funnel business to. It's anti-union

the business brained freaks in the Liberal party don’t understand that Canada Post is a SERVICE and if there are “losses” the answer is to close the funding gap in order to sustainably provide that service. Or, they’re pretending to not understand so they can kill CP on purpose

"This situation is unsustainable. Canada Post is effectively insolvent, and repeated bailouts are not a long-term solution." Lightbound added.
This is the most neoliberal BS. It's a crown corp & a public service. It's not a bailout, it's funding a basic function of a sovereign country.

That is not how you win over rural voters - a constituency that already feels alienated.

No “engaging in expressive activities” between 10PM and 8AM.
Ridiculous.
And of a piece with a time when non-violent protest —as fundamental a constitutional right as free speech—is under attack.
