Megan Whitfield, Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) Toronto local president, said a number of workers have raised objections to a newspaper Canada Post has been paid to distribute in the Beaches-East York area.


Your Ward News, produced as a community flyer by the New Constitution Party of Canada, slams a number of municipal, provincial and federal politicians by using profanity in some instances and calls former prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau a “Neo-Nazi fascist, anti-Semite and Quebec separatist.”

One temporary worker, who is Jewish, saw the flyer and refused to deliver it, saying it offended him on religious grounds, Whitfield said Wednesday.

They aren't supposed to read the mail, they are supposed to deliver it.

Truth hurts.. ;)

Pierre Elliott Trudeau liked the Communists at the time, he apparently believed Hitler wasn't that bad.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau, led a Communist delegation at Moscow in 1952. Québécois, calling for a Communist state of Quebec.

Two choices:

Deliver the damn mail

or

Resign


If it was a private organization that was delivering mail privately, then I can see the objection. But not when we are talking about Canada Post.

God, you're an idiot.

The flier that was complained about, was extremely critical of P.E.T., someone that I have clearly stated that I supported AND voted for. Yet, I am not supporting the man who refused or complained about delivering it.

It is his job to deliver the mail. It is NOT his job to decide what does and does not get delivered. If he can't or won't do his job, then he finds another job.

Stop calling God an idiot. You'll lose your zealot card and get drummed out of the altar boys union.

Yes and no. CP has rules and policies in place as far as what can and cannot be delivered. Have you read them all?

If it had got to the letter carrier, it is safe to assume it had passed all those rules and policies. After all, they were taking payment to deliver said flyer.
