It's nice to see that we no longer trust privatization as a the magic wand that solves public institution problems.
That said I think the 52% support for non-union gig work in Canada Post is indicative of the mindset that needs shifting if Canada is to change course in a way that makes most people better off long term.

Such a dumb and badly run country.
Every TTC subway stop should have a post office in it. The TTC should be run 24hrs a day. You should be able to pick up your package at the post office within the TTC subway stop easily.
Post offices within the GTHA really should be walking distance for most people. Go pick your package up somewhere close by, open 24hrs.
Putting post offices in Shoppers Drug Mart isn't too bad, but it would be better if they where in 24hr donought shops.
We need to use community postal boxes more.
We need traffic cameras to automatically ticket couriers that block traffic.
We need to get ride of this 'independent contractor' nonsense. It's a scam.
But for this to happen the Fed/Prov/City and Crown Corps all need to work together...so it'll never happen.
