I am always amazed at how many people do not understand this. Phone companies right before they started becoming almost “essential”, power companies, water/sanitation companies, healthcare “you know excluding eyes and teeth because they have nothing to do with healthcare” that they’re pushing to privatize, etc etc. So why does anyone think that privatizing Canada Post will be any different, and sure as shit it will be some stupid Tech company that will just have another means to amass your information to sell.

Now don’t get me wrong, there needs to be a change at Canada Post (and the CBC but that’s another topic), but privatization is not the answer, and neither is the current way it’s going. The person who mentioned how Ireland has adapted their postal service makes a valid point and it should be looked at.

Canadians will not be better served by privatization but some greedy asshole billionaire will, unless it gets bought by the employees.

Yes government organizations are rife with inefficiencies but it would be better to attempt to solve those problems.

I do not get a lot of useful mail from Canada Post, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a valuable service for Canadians. There just needs to be less junk mail what a complete waste of resources, and why the hell do companies have the right to force their trash on me. Bet that gets better with privization /s
