  2. Posties: a bunch of communists complaining that their iron rice bowl isn’t full enough while they sleep through every shift.

    Meanwhile, Amazon delivers orders same-day or next-day.

    Yeah, pretty much done with Posties.

  3. With more Luddite Boomers (and X-ers) dying off there are fewer who are absolutely beholden to Canada Post. Most of us are able to work around needing mail. And, there are work-arounds for practically anything that once depended on mail. Anything that still can only be by mail isn’t a life-or-death situation.
    As the Kanadian sheeple figure this out, CUPW just digs itself into a deeper hole.

  4. Canada has it real bad

    We lose MAIL in America with our United States Postal Service, but you guys have a real problem!!!!

    “How postal workers lose Canadians.”

  5. The posties were picketing for 2+ weeks before they decided to switch tactics. I had one package caught up in the slowdown (it shipped 1 hour before they went on strike, again), which was delivered on the Tuesday when they returned. I have yet to receive any mail from the 2 week shutdown, not even the useless flyers they bulk drop in my community mailbox.

    I would think that one day a week mail delivery would be sufficient, and I have gotten packages from Purolator, Intellicom and canpar during the strike, so there are still options.

  6. The teachers seem to not learning from the posties.
    They don’t seem to understand that those that are paying their salaries are also facing a rising cost of living.

  7. Any company/union contract I ever worked under had a “If you can be replaced by technological advancements in your job, bye bye.” clause (paraphrased…).

    Walking door to door delivering the mail every day for the most part is outdated.

    1. Right? I’ve noticed a scourge of “news” articles with headlines saying “Everything You Need To Know About xxxxx issue”

      That just screams manipulation to me

  10. I saw the Canada Post truck pull up to the mailbox down at the corner when I headed out to run errands this morning, so I stopped just now to collect the first mail we’ve seen in 3 weeks. We got:

    A flyer for lottery tickets, deadline October 3rd, to benefit BC Children’s Hospital.

    A local business flyer published by a local small business trying to promote other local small businesses, three weeks out of date.

    Money wasted, plans thwarted by the Union who happens to call Ottawa home.

    This country is so fubared.

  11. I go to my post office box once a week and usually there is nothing. After they lectured me for leaving flyers on the table after they took out the garbage cans I told them to quit the flyers. Are they really pretending to work again? I might have to check tomorrow.

  12. Canada Post anecdotes.
    buddy had some sort of part time job with the boys who rifle thru the goods and read playboy magazine.
    a border got a xmas temp job and knew of some who could tell cash was in the envelope and kept it.
    jean claude parot in charge, living in thorold ontario the big auto recycler fence boasted ’40 for 30′ ie 40 hours pay for 30 hours work.
    then living in st catharines the next door neighbor a letter carrier consistently got home early and hived off to the golf course. then got a pool installed? oyph.
    the woman across the street likewise a letter carrier, unbearably condescending.
    lazy and grossly overpaid, time to shut it down.

  13. One day a week delivery to group boxes. If you want it more often, rent an overpriced box. No unaddressed flyers. Just letters and small parcels. Charge $2 for a stamp.
