CUPE stands in solidarity with CUPW members as they return to the picket lines after the government’s announcement of a plan to allow Canada Post to end home delivery, slash delivery speed and shutter post offices across the country.
The myth of keeping jobs just for jobs, and home delivery being antiquated, really suggests a lack of understanding.
I love how you gloss over an entire spectrum of impairments by simply suggesting old- or different-abled people trivially choose a willing volunteer to take them to their mailbox 10 feet or 20 km down the road in a country as sparse as this one and in an era of such community disconnect.
The “I don’t need it so no one gets it” is just a bad look. You see a shoreline often?
They don’t need a volunteer. There already exists a service to have mail picked up for free and delivered to your house weekly. This is used by many elderly and disabled people who live in the 3/4 of Canadian households that use community mailboxes instead of home delivery. This service is not going away.
So the whole elderly and disabled people claim is a straw man, not a real issue.
Nah it doesn’t. It suggests that I’m being realistic.
These people have a method of getting food to their homes, they can figure out the mail too.
It’s like you’re imagining there are millions of crippled people living all alone in the middle of nowhere. They’d be dead if that was the case. They either live with caregivers, or they have caregivers that come over regularly.
I don’t need it. My parents don’t need it. My grandparent(the one that’s left) doesn’t need it. In fact I don’t know a single person who couldn’t get their own mail or lives with someone who could.
I live in a rural area, and I can see a shoreline from my house. It’s quite pleasant actually.
