Now is the time to draw inspiration from wherever we can, and stand with workers while they fight the employer-led race to the bottom.

Welcome to Ontario! Hospitals ARE profit centers, if they don’t make enough money the board of directors have to make “changes.” With the cost of treatments being set by OHIP that means the only changes available are cuts in service or staff.
Canada Post and healthcare should be treated like a military. It is overhead, the cost of being a modern country, you can try to get the most bang for your buck but the goal is to provide the absolute best service not to turn a profit.
The debate is not about shutting down Canada Post completely, it’s about scaling back service due to rapidly falling demand. You can still have a vital postal service with weekly delivery to community mailboxes. I have received my mail at a community mailbox for over 30 years. These days I check the mail maybe twice a month. It’s a 3 minute walk each way. People with limited mobility who live in a community mailbox area can already sign up for special home delivery.
