The workers deserve better!

Postal Workers are upset because Ottawa wants to do away with door to door delivery. But if you're Canadian and you know Canada Post the next question you're likely to ask is "wait...they deliver to your door? I thought they just leave notes saying they tried without actually trying"

Ottawa wants everywhere to use community mailboxes...something many places in Canada have been using since the 80s. This is a valid attempt to save money. I think this time the public isn't going to be on Canada Posts side.

If I had to wage a guess there’s too little of postal workers because in general national posts are chronically underfunded for what’s expected of them when liberals or conservatives are in power.

Neoliberal comment right here providing cover for Mark Carney’s corruption.
