Canada is trying to destroy its postal service, too, eh?

You can’t save a business by cutting service and raising prices

But that’s exactly what Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have planned for Canada Post. While they can find millions for their well-connected friends, they can’t seem to find a way to keep the mail coming to your door.

That’s right: Canada Post wants to eliminate home delivery for millions of customers, slash rural postal hours and put thousands of employees out of work. And they want you to pay a lot more —$1 for every stamp.

Canadians deserve better. Our postal service helps connect us. And these cuts will unfairly impact the most vulnerable—including seniors and people with disabilities.


Take off, Harper, you hoser!

determined to destroy everything.

UK tried this and the only ones happy are the ones that own it - bought very cheaply and lots of huge profits.
