"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?
How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.
"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Canadians stand with Rachel Gilmore. The Conservative government, whose actions and rhetoric have put her in harm’s way, must take responsibility and act immediately to ensure her safety. This injustice cannot be
ignored, and it must be rectified.
NOW. #IStandWithRachel

oh hey, Canadians, here's a petition you might want to sign
(i've gone pretty much exclusively to petitions on ourcommons. I suspect the others aren't much more than mailing list nets.)
I like to call this one, "don't tell me what to buy, Mastercard"

This sovereignty crisis is an identity-shaping event. We’re a young country. We’re defining ourselves, & we need to have a shared definition of what is & what is not acceptable & Gretzky hanging out w/ Trump is both traitorous & apology for rape— NOT Canadian. Nor is Doug Ford’s plea to normalize it
