said by dirtyjeffer0:first of all, we already have CMBs, and never had home delivery, so we aren't losing anything...second of all, even if we did have home delivery, Harper isn't taking it away, Canada Post is making the changes...
To be fair, the Government in power will always take the blame for things crown corporations do. They DO have the power to mandate other changes, if they didn't care for Canada Post's plans.
They could completely privatize mail delivery (and they should), for one thing.
Politically, it's a pickle for anyone. The root cause of the problem is reduced mail. And there's nothing any particular party is going to do to alter that. Absorbing ever increasing losses would be a tough pill to sell to the 70% of Canadians who don't get door to door delivery as it is.
