You mean the proposal from Harper that was lambasted by the Liberals and the union?

Considering Canada Post is billions in debt partly because Canadians no longer care or use the service needs to be addressed. Is it an essential service if no one cares?

    It's incredibly disingenuous to look at a public service and say "This costs money to operate" as if it was a bad thing. Like wtf do you expect? It's obvious and conservatives frame this obvious fact in such a way that garners support for their wanton destuction of our society in the name of profit. Profit for themselves and their friends, which very likely does not include you.

    You repeat their spin almost verbatim and with your vote they slowly run our institutions to the ground and hammer in a FOR SALE sign.

    You should be fucking ashamed of yourself.

    It seems to be used mostly by businesses now: send bills or parcels, send advertising. It still has a role to play, but I do think it needs to be adjusted because of its shifting role.

    Yup, keep taking the blue pill.

    Edit: Okay, I did not know the meaning's kinda flipped on the current political parlance, so I thought I'd clarify; yeah, keep downing the shovelled reality where "nobody wants to use Canada Post", instead of thinking about the generations of governments that have continually failed to update and keep Canada Post relevant, while allowing private companies to eat that pie and even allow people with a clear conflict of interest to have a strong influence over Canada Post's management. So yeah, it's the original "blue pill" from The Matrix.
