Justin Trudeau: 'Globalisation isn't working for ordinary people'

[petros]

Why can’t Canada manufacture its own post boxes?


The four-year contract is worth more than $150 million Canadian (800 million Danish kroner).

The awarding of a major federal Crown corporation contract to a European company is significant, in part because Canada Post comes close to being one of this country’s national symbols (somewhat like the RCMP).

It raises questions about why our national postal service did not look harder for a Canadian company to build the boxes, which are not exactly complex, high-tech products and are bulky for cross-Atlantic shipping.

It also raises questions about why Canadian manufacturing companies are so inefficient that they cannot put forward a competitive bid against a company in Denmark, where wages, pensions, taxes and social welfare benefits are generally more generous than in Canada.

In an era when politicians are critical of the way economic globalization is erasing domestic jobs, and trade protectionism is gaining serious re-consideration, this move by Canada Post may say a lot about the increasingly globalized vision Justin Trudeau has for Canada where business innovation can be weak and jobs are often shipped away.

Why can

Unifor

OMG this cannot stand. Oh wait in the same 4 years we will have 'donated' $120B to the World Bank in the form of interest for using money they 'print' for Canada. That is when the printing presses have been idle as all money is now digital.
If nothing it else it show be don't mind being ****ed up the ass by the ones we are paying lots to to make sure that doesn't happen.
Good help is impossible to find for the last few hundred years.

Are you sure that is who issued the bonds to be able to print more cash?

The age of Canada Post is over
Canada Post’s offhand conduct in the way it has trotted out its new delivery solutions and its plan for ending door-to-door service is a telltale sign of how out of touch it has become with its customer base — and how anachronistic its Crown-corporation swagger, quite apart from its operations, has become.

Giving a U.S. Company the Contract for Canada's Community Mailboxes Is Insult To Injury

Canada Post chief executive Deepak Chopra defended the controversial cuts to home delivery, saying the many seniors he consulted welcomed the idea because it would provide them with exercise."

It is comments like this that makes a person's blood boil, the amount of disrespect one must process to be perfectly fine with being officially quoted with such a statement by a major Canadian publication.

Mr. Chopra has more than 25 years of global experience in the financial services and postal industry.

It's a globalist thing get it???
You know, the stuff trump hates?

"Chopra was appointed to these roles by the Conservative government of Stephen Harper on January 18, 2011, for a five-year term from February 1, 2011 to January 31, 2016.[2] This appointment was renewed by Harper's government in July 2015, just before the scheduled federal election in October 2015, for a five year term starting February 2016 at a salary of about $500,000.[3]

In 2013, Canada Post, led by Chopra, introduced the extremely unpopular[4][5][6][7][8] plan of eliminating door-to-door delivery of mail and converting to "community mail boxes."

This plan was opposed by all federal parties except the Conservatives during the Canadian Federal Election of 2015.[9] The plan was stopped by the Liberal Party after they won the election.

Following the Canadian Federal Election of 2015, Chopra was asked to resign and re-apply for his position by the newly elected government of Justin Trudeau. Chopra refused in a letter written by Sian Matthews, Chair of the Board of Directors for Canada Post.[10]

Chopra took over the post from Stewart Bacon, who returned from retirement as interim president and CEO in July 2010 when then-CEO Moya Greene left to take over Britain's national carrier, the Royal Mail.

Chopra is a certified general accountant and a member of the Certified General Accountants of Ontario. In 2009, he was named a Fellow of the Certified General Accountants of Canada.

The guy is self centered globalist who doesn't give a crap about the pm, canadians, or Canada.

Outside of the cities nobody gets home delivery anyway so it is a non issue. Or charge more for stamps for home delivery.

Pretty much. PM Martin's confession is near the start.

Even in the old days the mailboxes should have been at the sidewalk rather than at the front door.

Canada Savings Bonds

No more bonds after November 2017. What is Trudeau up to now?

'Capitalism isn't working for ordinary people' is a more accurate statement.

It was never supposed to.

 

[HarperCons]

Of course not. It's about the rule of one class of people.

 

[MHz]

Left unsaid is that only that particular class voted on that determination.

Selfie Boy is not working for Canadians,,, that's the real story.

Yet your reliance on capitalism is a convenience you're willing to live with

We have to get past the big stick rule first. Democracy is fine if you are the majority, as soon as you might become a minority then the rules get changed

Considering the last couple of series of bonds had such a low return that if you were the type who just bought a few, you'd actually lose money, they probably just haven't been selling. So why bother issuing another series if no one wants to buy them?

He hasn't got an inkling!

Of course globalization isn't working for ordinary people. It wasn't designed to. Globalization is just a fancy new label they slapped onto the concept of trickle down economics on a global scale. The transfer of wealth is still going upwards, not downwards.

 

[Danbones]

lol, its a trickle on the way down, but a flood on the way up

 

[Hoof Hearted]

Back in 1989 I worked a warehouse job. The starting pay was $11.50 per hour.

I drove by the old place this year and saw a sign advertising my old job. Starting pay? $11.50 per hour!

That's 28 years later, folks! Something is definitely screwed up in this world. A 'race to the bottom' indeed!
