Dear Liberal Government:

I understand that your Chicago Schooled brains may find this difficult to understand, as your whole worlds revolve around capitalist economics, but here's a little tip for you, a word in your shell-like ears.

The purpose of the post office is to deliver mail.

It's not supposed to make money! Charges and fees are meant to defray the costs of running it, most of which are gathered through taxes and apportioned through Parliament. This is not rocket science! Not everything has to be financially solvent! The returns from the delivery of mail, especially to rural Canadians, far and away outweigh the cost of service!

I swear to fuck, fiscal conservatives will throw away a $100 to save a dime.

For any Canadians who want to pressure the government to force Canada Post to the table, NOT to force postal workers back to work, you can follow these steps!

If you wish to send something to Patty Hajdu directly:

If you are in Thunder Bay-Superior North, she's your MP! Write patty.hajdu@parl.gc.ca

If not, you can try writing the Ministry of Jobs and Families directly at edsc.min.ef-jf.min.esdc@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca

You can call (819) 654-5546 as well.

This is what I wrote in my email (and I said something similar on the phone).

The pastebin is to provide alt text (since it breaks the 3000 alt-text limit) - you CAN use it as a template, but I encourage you to write it in your own words, especially if she's your MP!

Canada Post is a service, not a consumer product. The idea that it operates at a "loss" is stupid. It's like saying schools operate at a loss; hospitals operate at a loss; roads operate at a loss; sewers operates at a loss.

We pay for public services collectively, because they are simply needed for our society for function and for everyone to have (relatively) equal access to participate in culture/society/democracy.

Stop reducing necessary services to an income statement!
