Tldr - article’s author feels they should have privatized it and cut wages for postal workers a decade ago. Says that turning it from a public service into a crown corp saved it in the 70s-80s but now it has to be fully privatized to work. I disagree personally but Canada Post is definitely in trouble and it seems their union is unfortunately not doing right by the corp or the members.

Worth mentioning that the author is Erin O'toole, former leader of the conservatives. They love selling things off and privatizing them.

These people never met a public service they don’t want to privatize off to the highest ~~bidder~~ buddy.

Exactly, and we always end up paying more for less.
