I took this photo yesterday because I found something endlessly amusing about it. If you were a headline writer, how would you introduce the photo?

Ricardo -- more to the point, I think the (unintended) pun in the translation is "whore used temporarily."

Is there a postal strike? Really? Never noticed.

Liberal Party — hors d'usage temporairement.
Canada Post — hors d'usage temporairement
CBC — hors d'usage permanentement?

How much did the new mail boxes glorifying postal codes cost us and who got the kick back?

Thinking forward, "temporarily out of service" can be easily changed to "permanently out of service" with a sharpie and a bit of white-out. Just sayin...

'CUPW, screwing the public - in both languages.'

Canada Post did lock them so they're just as bad imo.

And what is the rush to legislate them back? I don't get it.

Starve them out, let them walk the lines for 6 months......bankrupt their strike fund.

"temporarily out of service", Legislated back to destroying your mail tomorrow.

(and for this reason alone, let 'em strike til CP is bankrupt, then we can restructure)

The strike is as bad as inviting all the people you know to a party, only to find out no one is comming.

So I guess I'm going to have to wait for my McDonald's coupons and photo radar tickets a little bit longer?

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
