Click on the link to learn how the Epoch Times is dangerous and subversive because it’s pro-Trump and anti-CCP. Or something like that: Canada Post mail carrier disciplined for refusing to deliver Epoch Times.
Good work by Post Media – standing up for a guy who refused to deliver a newspaper.
Given the choice between standing up for free expression, or taking a shot at a possible competitor, PostMedia will always take the shot.
They also don’t realize the same postal carrier would likely refuse to deliver their newspapers if he saw them too.
Did this brain dead reporter consider it Covid misinformation when the government changed their message on the effectiveness of masks for the general public?
It comes as no surprise that journalists are too stupid to understand censorship.
Only thing amazing is that the guy was disciplined for it. I guess his supervisor hadn’t “got the memo”…
Still playing nice?
Every mail delivery person (he/she/it/xe/xer/they/them/) is now the equivalent of Twitter, Facebook, Google, and Amazon. They will decide what is acceptable communications through the post.
Post Media doesn’t want to put their bribe money from Blackie at risk, by allowing anything negative about China being distributed. The postal unions have always been proud of their Marxist leanings.
Why does this turd think he gets decide what can and cannot be evaluated by others?
All censors should be hanged.
Liberal mentality: “I know what is best for you.”
He can’t figure out something as simple as censorship but he’s smarter than us.
That’s right. Never argue with a quantum computing expert.
L- Is there anyone in that Postmedia article critical of the Communist Party of China ?
No, exactly, message received.
The Gov. Gen.(Viceroy) reigns.
The C.C.P. rules.
You kowtow!
What are the odds the new Gov. Gen. (Head of the Cdn. Armed Forces) will kowtow, too ?
Quote / When it comes to the content of flyers, there is also court precedent outlining what Canada Post’s role is, saying it “is not to act as the censor of mail or to determine the extent of freedom of expression in Canada.” /end quote
This just isn’t true but who expects honesty from “journalists”, governments, crown corps, etc. anymore ?
While it contained highly objectional material, “Your Ward News” was banned from being delivered by Canada Post two years ago.

Epoch Times response to CBC’s smear of them:

Epoch Times is accurate. It is not “right wing”….it is simply not Marxist or Maoist. I will be dropping my subscription to the Calgary Herald and subscribing to Epoch Times instead.
Hilarious, he reads your mail and decides whether it is fit for your consumption. Fire his ass!
Unionized reporter supports postal union member in an act of censorship and solidarity. Welcome to the future.
“I think as a Crown corporation they do have a moral responsibility to actually look at this stuff and determine if it is peddling in hate and racism and those sorts of things,” said Williams.”
No, Actually the UNION has ZERO “responsibility” to look at the content of ANY MAILED Article….nor do they have the RIGHT…capisce.?? (The Same would apply to Canada Customs).
Just who do these assholes think they are,….TWATTER or FascistBook..?? (yea)
I long for a day when Public SERVICE Unions are 100% Disbanded & their leaders Jailed for SEDITION…along w/ CUPW.
One of my tenants gave me an Epoch Times, which I looked over. Mildly interesting, of course another take, not provocative.
If that’s “subversive,” so subject to legal censorship, then the Americans identity idiots have already landed on our shores.
Watching the leader of the Opposition substitute his judgment for an MP’s voters can only be described as revolting in every sense.
If he knuckles under, over a $133 donation from someone to somebody nobody’s heard of, what’s will leftists think of next?
This is next. The Grits turn an election into an immigration smear where refugees, migrants and legal immigrants are one in the same, fine people for whom only NATIONALISTS, therefore NATIVISTS could oppose, which reveals them as the white supremacists others are sure they are; and God help anybody not attending gay pride parades or being remotely positive about Donald Trump.
From what I see, the federal Liberals have the Conservatives roped in quite nicely right now, progressive to theirs and our end.
Apologists to the outrage industry. Instead of telling them to buzz off so adults can talk about real issues, they cower.
Therefore confirming to the neo-bigots we’re all stupid white supremacists. Well done northern RINO. Rant over, for now.
The American identity idiots landed on our shores over half a century ago.
I refer to the latest caravan – Biden, Pelosi and Schumer.
Buried lede: Growing up in Regina, the child of Chilean immigrants, Sepulveda said, “I’ve been dealing with this s–t for 40 years.”
Run the numbers and ask yourself why someone might have emigrated to Canada from Chile in 1980.
Allende synpathizers in all likelihood; more than likely part of the same bureaucrat-oisie class that overwhelmingly support leftists here.
Yeah, I’ll bet he has. I can just picture his terrible, terrible life in terrible white-supremacist Canada, kids shouting “hey, you, um – Spic!” at him in the playground. Years later, people at parties asking him if he was the gardener, and could he bring them another cocktail. Happens all the time, y’know. /sarc off
Lying sack of union crap.
Sounds like Pinochet let one of the commies get away.
Did it occur to this “brave” union schlub that the Epoch Times was founded by Chinese immigrants and that much of the Epoch Times’ writing staff is of Chinese extraction?
No, I don’t think so.
I have been an Epoch times subscriber for about one year. I have yet to receive a newspaper on time. Generally delivery is 10 days to 3 weeks late. On one occasion three weeks worth of newspapers were bundled together in my mailbox with an elastic band. Canada Post claims the delays are due to the Covid outbreak. Oddly enough, none of my other mail has been delayed, damaged due to covid. Besides, being a great read, I support them because of their anti CCP stance.
My mail carrier once accidentally delivered my neighbors copy of Mother Jones “magazine”. I scan-read a few articles and almost hurled. I should have sued under CA’s Prop 65 rules about banning toxic substances.
Canada Post is run by government and unions and as such should not be given a monopoly on “first class” mail. It should be sold off as real estate and equipment along with the CBC. It is just another toxic appendage of the institutional left. The content of mail is not the business of the feather-bedded drones who should be replaced with electronic drones.

Wow it’s great to see how much investigation was carried out by the ‘journalists’ responsible for the story to determine whether there were any you know, ‘facts’, behind the spurious claims made in the article by the idiot carrier and the union rep. I guess that’s too much to ask for. In this country, ‘media’ only has one function: publish stories that meet with their master’s approval. Their master now being the Federal government and woke- or woke-sensitive advertisers.
The media is THE biggest problem in our society. There wouldn’t be PM Turdeau or a Biden regime without them.
Hmmmm…not sure if moral responsibilities and Crown Corporations should ever be used in the same sentence Mr.Union rep.
The Epoch Times hasn’t killed anyone to my knowledge I wonder if the SGLA can say the same.
But I get it, li’l Ramiro wants to be my editor. You got your fifteen minutes and three days off…get back to work.
Ha! CTV News wrote the exact same story on Saturday
https://regina.ctvnews.ca/regina-canada-post-employee-refusing-to-deliver-epoch-times-newspaper-1.5270054
And it mirrors the same hit piece CBC did in August.
I am a subscriber to the Epoch Times and I live in Regina. The delivery of that paper has been inconsistent. It is a weekly paper that I pay money for, so calling it a flyer is bullshit. I don’t subscribe to flyers.
It is really strange sometimes I will get the paper on time, sometimes 2 will come at the same time. Sometimes I will get the paper two weeks later. I knew there was some kind of skullduggery going on at Canada Post.
I read it once and was not impressed.
Do tell us why.
Yeah Craig, my ET arrives erratically too. The greater irony here is that I subscribe to get this item. I pay for the damn thing, and no frigging postal worker has the right to decide what I can receive, subscription or not. I also get a pile of junk mail delivered too, yet there is no problem getting that delivered. I bet my postie gets their undies in a twist with all the pro firearms mail I get too, but it’s none of their damn business either. The second irony is it’s their ilk, that have created and developed the term…Going postal!
A flyer, huh?
Latest issue has pages A1 to A12, B1 to B8, C1 to C12, D1 to D8.
My postal carrier delivered an advertisement claiming my erections could be twice as big, if I take their “all natural” pill. Now THAT is suitable for going postal into the rubbish bin. Where’s the censorship when you need it?
It sure has become entertaining watching the rush to bottom, by business, government and the people. Does anyone else see the total insanity that we are in the grip of? From the whu who flu, to a fraudulent election, to the destruction of free speech, to a mailman censoring by not delivering , to a PM fining an author under the election act, for writing a critical book that had nothing to do with the election, to cops fining and arresting people for not wearing a mask or visiting friends and family, while the WHO says masks and tests and lockdowns don’t work. The freaking insanity is way over the top. Our people have become an embarrassment, intellectually, politically and morally.
From the article:
“Growing up in Regina, the child of Chilean immigrants, Sepulveda said, “I’ve been dealing with this s–t for 40 years.” ”
Translation, his parents were communists who run from Pinochet. Enough said.
I guess his parents weren’t helicopter parents then.
^^^ Beautiful.
In his honor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WWuVsunoD8 (this never gets old).
My father gets the Epoch Times and it always comes on time.
Hhhmmm ….
Canadians need a general reset about what freedom of speech and freedom of religion mean.
They don’t mean you’re free to adopt any of the government’s defined acceptable alternatives.
They mean you can say what you want and worship where (and who/what) you want.
Period. No civil servant oversight. It’s called freedom.
(“but isn’t that an American concept?” — voice from the past)
well guess what, we’re all in the same boat now.
(“isn’t that a Hungarian concept?” might be the new question to ask)
Got my copy of the Epoch Times in mail last week, unsolicited for free. The very next day, I see this …https://www.sootoday.com/local-news/did-you-get-this-controversial-newspaper-in-the-mail-this-week-youre-not-alone-3266057 . What have the Maoists, like the NDP have against these Buddhists?
So now the Postie can decide what mail is fit to deliver,next it will be even more blatant theft from customers..
as obviously “those people “do not deserve to get their packages,their gifts or any checks..
Hence Canada Post will decide who is worthy to recieve their own property.
And who is allowed to have an opinion.
So sitting in a rack next to the Leader-Post and the Globe lends the Epoch Times “credibility”? I didn’t think either of them had any credibility left to spare.
(OK, just snark…but pretty much true.)
