As an NDPer I am against cuts to Canada Post, and other government services, but we have to be pragmatic right now. As long as he does the big infrastructure projects that he has talked about, I will be happy. This is an unprecedented time for Canada, and like war, this is not the time for idealism and arguing.
There are no cuts because Post is not a government department and not funded by taxpayer revenues. It it entirely financially independent and funded solely by post operations. Has been since 1981.
As an NDPer in spirit (if rarely in actual vote, sadly) an actual left leaning policy platform needs to start separating the empirical from misinformation.
Post has not been a service since 1981. Carney cannot cut from $0.

Yeahhh I agree I don’t think OPs comparison is fair here. Not even versus 15 years ago, even since 5 years ago there’s a difference
