The fix: continue to deliver and subsidize rural Canadians, ending door-to-door delivery and substituting with community mailboxes. Continue door-to-door for elderly & disabled.
Otherwise? Privatize it. Urban & sub-urban Canadians hardly need it, and should bear the cost privately if they do.

I know. I hate it and as someone rural I depend on packages delivered...and ending Canada Post entirely would allow couriers to jack prices( & they REALLY SUCK in my area... sending packages back without ever notifying they are ready for pick up #Purolator) But this is a money pot. How to fix?

5/7 This extends beyond cash.
BlackBerry signed a deal with the UAE’s Cyber Security Council, while Mila is partnering with the Technology Innovation Institute to advance AI architecture.
It’s a strategic weaving of Canadian innovation into one of the world's fastest-growing logistics & tech hubs.

4/7 The immediate payoff is staggering.
The #UAE made a "historic decision" to invest $70B in Canada.
Discussions with sovereign wealth funds focused on injecting capital into #CriticalMinerals, #Energy, #Ports, and #AI—sectors essential for nation-building & creating high-paying careers at home.

3/7 The ambition: unleash $1 trillion in investment over five years.
Leaders launched negotiations for a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).
The goal? Cut red tape and double bilateral trade from $3.4B to $7B in a decade, mirroring Korea and Chile.

2/7 To "double non-U.S. exports" over the next decade, Carney & UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan signed a new Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA).
This creates a stability for Canadian firms—from clean tech to AI—to expand globally with confidence.
