This is an organization that is taking billions of tax dollars every year from Canadians, and is quickly becoming obsolete.
E-Mail is quickly becoming the favorite way to send messages, Facebook and other Social Media to keep in touch with friends and family.
If you send a parcel, UPS, DHL, Fed-EX can do the job.
Then there is Priority Post, the Government trying to compete with private industry, which is really not very fair.
Private industry can do a much better job, more effecient and far cheaper that a bloated government branch.
It's time to Privatize Canada Post, NOW!!!

Re: Canada Post on Strike ????
First off, I don't send letter via the postal service.. I stay in touch via e-mail or facebook, and other social media.
Can I sign my name to and email, yes I can. On legal documents I sign and scan them, and send as a pdf attachment. They get them immediately, and print them off on their end.
Letter mail is so last millenium, 1999. lol

And for me too! Like I paid for other decrepit old codgers when I was in the workforce.
Re: Canada Post on Strike ????
How many legal documents do you email per year? How much do you spend on your ISP connection? How much on paper? How much on ink or toner? Would you drive downtown to pick your mail from the main PO? Do you have to waste a morning walking to the corner to drop a parcel like you would waiting for UPS?
How much did it cost to get a SES?

Yup. I pay for you too. I pay more today than you did back then but that's okay. I appreciate those who broke ground for me and carry their coat tails instead riding them.
What are the annual premiums now? When I first start paying (about 1966) I was paying the top premium of $79.20 annuallyand thought it was robbery!
Protesters occupy Baird’s office in postal dispute
OTTAWA — Protesters have occupied federal MP John Baird’s constituency office on Carling Avenue in sympathy with locked-out postal workers. The group say they aren’t members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, who began rotating strikes against Canada Post before management locked the union out, but are sympathetic to their fight.
“The contract Harper wants to force on CUPW will shortchange postal workers even more than Canada Post would have,” says protester James Meades in a written statement announcing the occupation. “By passing back-to-work legislation, the Harper government is attacking every worker in the country, both private and public, union and non-union.

LOL you're making my agrument for me...
Does it matter how much I spend on my ISP, I use my Internet connection for entertainment,(www.HBOGO.com, www.Ikariam.org, www.CanadianContent.net) Vonage (phone service), so an added convenience is the choice to send email.
As a matter of fact, I am watching Bill Maher on HBOGO as I am typing this message.
Well let's see, unlke the old Postal Service where everything is delivered in paper formate, I can save documents, and don't have to print everything.. so I save paper, save trees..
So happens I have a UPS mail box and when I get a parcel, I am notified via email on my phone.. so when I go out to do Grocery shopping, doctors office or other things I do... or even on the way to work I pick up my parcels.
What's nice about my UPS mail box is if I get something in that has to be shipped elsewhere, I don't have to make a visit, they charge my card and send it off..
If Canada Post is privatized I am sure UPS would have a bid in and do far better.
No I don't work for UPS, btw. Do you work for Canada Post?
I think, if there was no Canada Post today, the only thing I would miss is all those bulk mailings I use to use to pick up my dog's dodo with..

No, only the one that endangered public safety and grew too big for their britches.
And, sadly, not all of them.
That is why I said anything they can do we can do better.
Holy sh*t!!!!!!!!!!- almost 30 times what we used to pay. But to be realistic $900 a month ain't much of a pension- you'll probably qualify for about $3000 a month. :lol:
Re: Canada Post on Strike ????
They sure do. They bought a nice big chunk of eBay and partnered up.

Why would we privatize or sell off a business that makes us money?
