Canada post 2014 recap

[brandeentertainment]

Cut back staff ( You wait Longer)

Remove Door to Door ( They took away Easy)

Cost hike ( They took away Cost effective)

This is how I see this ..

We will support less Canadian Families and even put some in horrible Finicial state..( kinda how all business work but hey)

We Will be responsible for Elderly people enduring themselves all across Canada

We Will slow down delivery time

But we will clean out your wallet to pay me a little more in 2014

$440,000-$500,000 Canada post CEO 2013

Sure that is a good salary for the man who is going to be responsible for 100's of elderly being seriously endured from slip and falls JUST WAIT 2014 it will come those sad reports of eldery being found dead in the snow banks wit there walkers ...

I grew up in a small town where picking up mail was always just a way of life but I can tell you right now it's not as OK as some peole make it .. Have you ever found your Grandmother in a snowbank freezing .. I did 67 years old stuck at the end of her driveway for 16hrs ..

Or when I was 16 in Art class I looked out my window only to see an eldery lady fall on the side walk and without knowing to much detail I ran out to help only to cover her in a blanket because I THINK she broke her hip as we wanted to help her up but she was quietly saying her hip hurt so we cover her up and called Ambulance ..

Making elderly have to pick up there mail is not cool and they should have looked at this closer and I hope he will lose his job before or after the next election or even worse maybe he will slip and fall and the snow plow will come by and give him a boost up to the top of the snowbank....

This never really bugged me till today today when I started to think of all the elderly people I have seen or had close calls with in the winter time .. When your Gramma,wife,husband etc Comes within hrs of freezing to death or breaking bones  for a few bills in the mail it will change your outlook too..

I would for the first time in my life join a group of people to fight this..

There are different things they could have done because all thoough LETTER in Lettermail are Dead the New use of Lettermail service is far from Dead and they should have looked at ways to INCREASE Volumes instead of prices..

I personally think CanadaPost upper management is sabotaging the company, so they can drive it to ground, deunionize it, then privatize for pennies on a dollar. They are taking a risk though because everytime they create a gap, other shipping competitor steps in or new one pops up so by time they are ready to privatize, those billions of book value in CanadaPost assets may not be even worth the yearly maintenance costs on machinery or property taxes on real estate. CanadaPost does not care about retail and letters, they want corporate mega accounts like Walmart.ca or Futureshop.ca

I remember in the late 70s and 80s CPO was constantly striking........... endless and ongoing.

We used to ship a lot at the time .................. prior to on line venues.............. and our income depended on the PO.

Every time they went on strike our business almost died (we turned to the trucking companies).  In those days it was our only source of income.

Prior to those strikes couriers were almost non-existent in Canada, but it was as result of the CPO strikes that couriers got a foot hold here.

All of sudden we saw those trucks everywhere:  They appeared overnight.

It was those constant strikes that opened the door for couriers in Canada.

Now, all these years later nothing much has changed.

Same old same old..................
