Canada Post is under attack. Political favouritism, privatized delivery, and precarious subcontracting are putting workers and public service at risk. From Intelcom’s exploitative practices to the government’s support of billion-dollar profits, André Frappier discusses how one of Canada’s most essential institutions is being dismantled, and who is benefiting.

    Canada post should not ever be a corporation of any kind.

    It should be a service, like healthcare, without any requirement or expectation of ever turning a profit.

    All revenue would do is help offset some of the cost.

      True. Very True. We should both be buying our shit back that we sold to private industry and stop seeing services as a “for profit business”. It’s infrastructure. Make the phone a utility again as well. The current path is surrounded by tricky greed fog is and out of control.
