Canada post would never be able to compete, not with their union asking for ridiculous amount of compensation.
Smaller government is the solution. Canada is like a bloated, beached whale..
If they privatized, they would actually need to compete and offer a better service to make their money, rather than holding the taxpayers ransom over the holidays each year.
Privatize ……that's best solution…….will save millions in pension👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌……the guyz working there have no empathy towards new comers & they fight & throw them out before probation…..They think they r top of world with no worries coz union is on their side….mostly Indians, Arabs & Philipinos…….KARMA BITES BACK😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Can we talk about why Canada Post has still not caught up with the backlog that was caused by the strike?
Times have and will continue to change . Canada post is a dinasaur who's time has come.
Should a public service need to make a profit? The purpose of our taxes are to pay for universally beneficial services and infrastructure. Of course, Canada Post has some serious issues and has lost a lot of money over the past seven years: $3 billion. But how much money has the postal service helped Canadian businesses and individuals make year over year? Seeing as we have an annual GDP worth $2 trillion, it was most likely well over the average $430 million loss they've had year over year. I think streamlining and modernization is definitely needed to plug the holes, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Individuals and businesses rely on this service being public.
How did liberals just give canada post one billion dollars ,when there's no working government ???????
Its actually nothing compared to what government employees make and all the clowns in Parliament government is just a leaglized way to steal tax payers money.
How did they get 1 Billion dollars while Parliament is prorogued?
Since Nov. 15,2024, the day Canada Post went on strike, my household has received five [5] pieces of mail through Canada Post as of today Jan 27,2025.
As long as one one from Canada Post executive or senior admin are involved. Although what private company would want them for other than connections ?
Why should they get a loan when. They had a strike
Privatize we do not need unions dictating and then get a loan
Ridiculous they paralyze the country and then want a life line
What’s going on
More to the story than we're being told. No doubt.
Time to do away with Canada post
Yes absolutely privatize CP! Its top-heavy management is inept & incompetent, and we simply don’t need daily delivery of mostly flyers…
Sell it and recuperate every single dollar ever given to them.
When they say they lost $3billion, it's actually much more as for all government agencies and corporations, salaries are not included in profit and loss. Privatization will be the end, as there's no way they can even think of competing with private sector firms.
im sure theres better alternatives already out there that could deliver the mail far cheaper. why give them a billion dollars?? thats insane!
So government workers running crown corporations collecting millions are too incompetent to fix it. Sounds about right ya.
yes they dont work quick enuff, i like purolator
Hell no! No privation, instead postal banking.
The future of ICBC should also be questioned given how terrible they’ve been as a government corporation also
Privatize and lose Canada wide service, and get higher prices too, with the excuse of "competition"
priverties the government, how would they be able to control the gov
Noooo! Do you know how much more expensive sending a package would become? There has to be another solution.
Do not sell Canada Post
I think the last strike proves we really don’t need the postal service
We need better with our post office – disgusting broken dirty mailboxes everywhere !!
Maybe then we will get better service.
No to privatization.
Your a dope Ford leave Canada post alone lets focus on you and you waste of money
Note how every business owner complained when Canada Post wasn't available every other option was too much more expensive and they couldn't get their packages out. Privatization has only screwed Canadians over the years. We get a quick windfall and then everything goes to hell.
The private sector sector can already deliver packages in rural and remote communities…but they don't.
No private operator would take on that delivery commitment without a sweetheart deal from the government to slash delivery standards and jack up prices.
Privatization is just a profit tax on a public service.
Privatize all government services that are not profitable and costing taxpayers money, including Canada Post, Via Rail and other loss making services.
DISBAND THE UNION
Canada Post Sucks
This is what a union will do to your business. Every Federal organization should immediately go union-less. They increase inflation, they reduce service levels…BUT THEY DO protect the lazy incompetent worker….you can't get rid of them. End the reign of the union!
