It’s nice to see that we no longer trust privatization as a the magic wand that solves public institution problems.
That said I think the 52% support for non-union gig work in Canada Post is indicative of the mindset that needs shifting if Canada is to change course in a way that makes most people better off long term.

Adding to the above, keep in mind that courier and express mail are useless if you live in small towns with distance to the nearest large city.
I’ve had express mail take longer to get to me than regular mail does simply because that’s how the system is set up.
I’d have no problem if urban mail took a week, while resources were used to make sure that rural service was more timely. But I also don’t know how much is spent on rural delivery vs. urban mail. I have a friend who works for Canada Post, maybe I should ask. LOL
