I don't know enough specifics of what their problems are or what the solutions might be, but we should always have some form of a public postal delivery. If they can be profitable that's obviously ideal, but some costs to keep it operating should be acceptable as it is a service and the geography of our country places unique demands on that service.
Like westopher mentioned the amount of "brokerage" fees that I would've had to pay private companies for shipping across borders far outweighs anything Canada Post would ever affect my taxes. And it's in all of our best interest to support people who choose to live rurally, otherwise they'll have to move to larger cities even more quickly than they already are which will just increase real estate prices faster.

Or we can choose to not live in the middle ages and digitalize more things. Drivers' licences and health cards could be on your smartphone. Bank mail and bills can all be digitally received. Emails have existed for over a quarter century now.
If you want to avoid the brokerage fees, you can go to a CBSA office and clear the item yourself. UPS and Fedex always give you that option before the item crosses.
didn't we get every other day delivery back then with harper?

They never offer any concession or a solution to actually help CP to cut costs, but to milk it to death.
At this point, the only reasonable idea I have to make CP viable is for the gov't to give CP a banking license and make CP the default bank for all public sector wages. It has been done in other countries and a lot of lucrative products and services can be offered to basically subsidize the logistic portion of CP.

Its not just the question that Carney fumbled,bro...but his entire trade deal with the US. So many months have passed by and our tariffs have only increased while we conceded and achieved nothing. I can only imagine how poorly he will deal with the USMCA negotiations (if he doesn't get a non-confidence vote).

It is pretty clear that Carney has accomplished absolutely nothing so far.
On Monday, the Trump administration announced a 10% duty on Canadian softwood timber and lumber that is effective on October 14. The effective duty rate is now 45%.
What was the Liberal government's response to this? Nothing.
Yes I dunno WTF is going on with Canada post how can you have this strike again within like what 6 months? How's the economy gonna run we already got fucked over with the $800 de minutes thing and we can't even ship anything to USA.
Pp is busy doing white people things. this is top priority in canindia?
Poilievre claims Christians 'may be the number 1' victims of hate-based violence
Churches have been torched but data suggests Jews, Muslims are most targeted
I think the problem is more that you’re exactly the same as PeePee… just bitch about (insert whoever is in charge) with the same shit over and over and over while bringing nothing to the table and having no answers yourself.

To be fair, they striked, and then was forced back to work. So technically they didn't stop.
Something has to be done. They will have to cut postal walk to make happen.
From Wiki
i can see how they are fighting for a lot of stuff.
At the time of the strike, CUPW represented approximately 55,000 striking workers.[6] Its list of demands included:
wage increases of 24% over four years, which it says will keep wages up to inflation;
enhancements to group benefits, such as coverage for fertility treatments and gender-affirming care;
improved protections against technological change;
enhancements to paid medical leave;
paid meal and rest periods; and
increased short-term disability benefits.[7][8]
Canada Post declined these demands, instead offering wage increases of 11.5% over four years as well as increased paid leave.[8] The Crown corporation has described its finances as "unsustainable," reporting over $3 billion in losses since 2018 and debts exceeding $1 billion. In 2023, Canada Post spent $4.9 billion on labour costs against $6.9 billion in revenue, with operating costs per hour for parcel delivery ranging from $50 to $60 versus industry benchmarks of $40 to $50.[9] Unlike many Crown corporations, Canada Post is not taxpayer-funded and must sustain itself entirely on its own revenues.
I want to see what they are willing to give / budge in return to meet in middle.
a yearly average of 6% wage increases? with what money? lol
My job is tax payer funded and they barely give us 2-3% wage increase spread over 2-3 year agreements. Even if they are net neutral, changes need to happen with their business model. Which means cut backs no matter how you slice it.
