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.

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