Christmas Can Wait

1. Are there no depths these communist turds will not plumb?

   Everybody knows you set fire to your Santa letters and they go up the chimney to the North Pole directly. No unionized public employees involved.

   1. Are you sure?

      I thought it was that if you threw a civil service union executive into your lit fireplace, the smoke first went up the chimney and then straight to Hell so they could work on Lucifer’s management team.

2. In order to show support for the Communist Union of Postal Whiners, you should choose to modernize like Santa has and use Santa’s email service instead. He offers several options like:

   Or if you want to go out and have a virtual zoom call with Santa, you can choose:

   Remember kids, only you can prevent communists from ruining Christmas.

3. It was on this website just last week that I learned that the German Postal System was privatized in 1995 and that the Royal Mail of Great Britain was also privatized about 10-15 years ago (I forget which year). They both make money now (unlike Canada Post) and best of all, there are No More Strikes. If you do not like the working conditions, you are most welcome to leave and go elsewhere. Perhaps this is the way forward for Canada.

   1. That’s nice to know. I did not know that. Thank you.

      1. Since the union is so smart! Each of the 55,000 employees should put up say $100,000 each and purchase the outfit then they can run it as they see fit.

         1. I would propose that it be reconstituted as a private company owned by the employees with each getting one share and they are paid hourly at minimum wage and they all get equal shares of any profit. Only employees can own shares, nobody can own more than one share and shares can only be transferred when the owner quits or retires, and only to a new employee joining.

            If they can’t co-locate their faeces and provide a service that enough people are willing to pay for, they’ll be out of a job/out of business.

            1. we can deal with cbc the same ,,good idea

   2. https://www.cupw.ca/sites/default/files/privatization-deregulation-2017_PDF_%20EN.pdf

      You can find more examples highlighted by CUPW

   3. Perhaps this is the way forward for USA too.

4. My Christmas present would be the announce that both Canada Post and the CBC are henceforth relegated to the dustbin of history where they belong.

   1. And don’t forget Via Rail. The only passenger rail left should be minimal service to the few isolated communities not served by roads. These can be served by what are essentially buses on rails. The last rail service between Edmonton and Calgary had these. And private operators can run these few routes. You can fly 1000 km on Flair for a couple hundred bucks. The average subsidy for each and every Via Rail trip is about $400.

      1. Via in 2023 had expenses totalling $1.585 Billion to generate $430.7 Million in revenue for an operating ratio of 368%. Freights run in the 60% to 70% range. On a passenger basis, it’s about $386.70 in costs to generate $99 in revenue.

         That’s even before they start on their High-Speed/High Frequency Boondoggle, which will spend somewhere between $80 and $120 billion before even carrying one passenger.

         /disclosure, I work for one of the companies that is part of one of the consortiums bidding on the project.

         1. these clowns never figure out that the density of the places that have high speed rail are more than 10 times the population density here..

         2. Business math is difficult for many.
