  • The problem is when people say “financial losses” about services. Canada Post goes everywhere and is a service in our country. Much like healthcare and education. No one says “education profits are at an all time low and our hospitals have losses in the billions” because they are public services. These are things that as taxpayers, we value and use to make us a society

    Canada Post is not fucking FedEx or UPS and shouldn’t be held in the same regard as it.

    (this is not saying that they couldn’t be more efficient though, to this I have no comment that isn’t likely uninformed).










  • As an aside for people reading the comments here, and I’m not going to comment on people’s comments correcting them because this isn’t the place ( and it says it in the article as well)

    I was told recently, that we should not be using the word Aboriginal. I know this will cause an onslaught of people saying "what do they want to be called now?! " but when you think about the word “Aboriginal” and other words like it, it’s not very friendly. “abhorrent”, “abnormal”, etc. Aboriginal means not original.

    We should be saying “indigenous peoples” as it encompasses all and is more accurate. I’ve been told First Nations is also acceptable.
