Now is the time to draw inspiration from wherever we can, and stand with workers while they fight the employer-led race to the bottom.

We're all being misled here raging over CP's reform and its losses because 'all I get is trash mail'. Why isn't the management of Canada Post on the hook for this? Yet we're here blaming the union of their mismanagement? After all, they're the ones that are making the big bucks, so they know what they're doing right? Right? Why aren't any of these c-suite or board stepping down/let go from doing such a terrible job? 6 straight years, 24 financial quarters. Who let this 'experiment' run for so long? Did this never make a blip in some federal minister's portfolio? Well at least we know who to blame for inaction during this time for this policy failure.

  • As many other have pointed out, it's a service, not a for-profit.
  • The corpro Amazon contractor-undercutting wages problem
  • The Libs aren't willing to do the hard work to actually transform CP into a cost-recovery model and fix the point above. They'd rather just do the classic 'cut services' while only looking at a spreadsheet without really carefully considering what they are really doing. It's a cut to peoples jobs which means less money flowing into the economy as a whole - especially given CP's reach. Plus, wages paid out, the federal government still taxes it. You see what I'm seeing? The ditch isn't as big as people make it to be. Again, the Libs are pissing away a crown corp jewel again.
  • CP has so much more potential with what it can do with its storage, delivery, network and database without even doing major expenditures.
