So I didn't read this thread, so hopefully this hasnt already been said.
I can't fucking believe this shit, most of the shit that comes in the mail is just that... SHIT. Fucking flyers and advertisements I dont even fucking want, waste of paper polluting bastards.
If Canada post cant make the balance sheet work and needs tax payer dollars to function, maybe it's time they up the rates to these companys that insist on sending me stupid shit week after week that I just toss in the recycle bin.
Screw you Canada Post/CUPW, UPS can make money, why cant you fuckers???
This whole situation just makes me raaaaaaaaaaage.
EDIT: Before anyone gets too excited and bitches about Canada Post posting profits, you need to look at the long term numbers to understand.

CPC has to deliver the mail to all of Canada, for the same cost of a stamp. This means CPC will always lose money where UPS would just charge an arm and a leg to make the same delivery.

| I dont think tax payer dollars has to do with anything toward canada post. Canada post is a service, it's operated by the product that it provides and the volumn of mail they get. That's how the workers get pay and not from tax payer.
Like taylor saids, cpc is always cheaper then any other company..i used to work for fedex i know.. and everytime i get something from Ups.. i always get these stupid custom broker charges..i rarely get that with canada post

Canada Post is a gov't & union company. TAX PAYERS pay for A LOT of their salary. Our taxes espeically go to the god damn high pensions that they keep wanting to raise up and up.
Why do you think their rates are so cheap? Because they get enough surplus from our tax dollars that they don't need to charge for all those stupid extras (brokerage...). Only thing that is poor about Canada Post is time, if your in a rush don't rely on CP, pay the money and get it Purolator'd, Fedex'd or UPS'd and pay out your ass.. Maybe even Priority Air Express for Canada Post, but again lots of $$.

i had something shipped from the US via USPS. then the strike happened and nothing updated on the USPS tracking #.
Just to clarify, the package turns over to CanadaPost once it reaches the border right?

How about all other gov't jobs and city jobs, cops etc...don't they get pretty good pension also?

I understand where all the hate about pensions comes from, but honestly, if you're valuable employee, you'll get compensated accordingly in the private sector. And if you're compensated accordingly, you're supposed to use that extra money to fund your own retirement.
On the other hand, you could always join the public sector...
