It’s not needed. The only alliance that could topple them is BQ+PC and the Bloc has already committed to giving the Liberals minimum 1 year to enact their agenda.
No need to align right out of the gate and give the NDP bargaining power, they’ll do it when they have to.
What stops private corporations from jacking up rates and discontinuing service to underserved areas without pressure from Canada Post?
That’s right, fuck all. The problem with this attitude is that because YOU don’t use Canada Post you assume nobody else does. Yes, traditional mail is not a big thing anymore. But what Canada Post does is fundamentally just delivery, and they could easily restructure around that.
Without it, you just cede another piece of critical infrastructure to American private companies. Need a package sent to a northern or rural area? Be prepared to pay the one American company that bothered to set up a route there astronomical prices in the name of profit.
Sending things to each other, from small businesses and across all areas in Canada should be a thing we offer and don’t just let Americans take over and kill unprofitable routes. It’s a great use of tax dollars, and just because it doesn’t matter to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter a whole lot to the person in Iqaluit who gets their cancer drugs that way.
