The Selling of Canada Post
(February 1, 2010/ Your Public Post Office Delivers Campaign / Opinion-Editorials)

Canada Post is not being sold to the private sector just yet, but the Crown corporation is in the midst of selling the public on its view of today and its vision for the future. This vision includes some privatization and more post office closures. In recent months, Canada Post has been featured in news stories that paint a picture of a post office in need of a major tune up. The corporation has been telling anyone who will listen that volumes and revenues are down, in part, due to the...

(October 29, 2009/ Strategic Review of Canada Post / Bulletins)

Dear Sisters and Brothers, As you may know, the government’s Strategic Review of Canada Post has recommended against deregulation. During the strategic review process, it was made clear that opposition to postal deregulation is widespread. The public is opposed. Many federal politicians and municipal representatives are opposed. Groups representing seniors, rural residents, people with disabilities, labour, students and civil society oppose deregulation. In spite of this,...
Action Request: Send letters to MPs – Help Defeat Bill C-44
(October 15, 2009/ Strategic Review of Canada Post / Miscellaneous)

In June 2009, the federal government introduced Bill C-44, an Act to amend the Canada Post Corporation Act (virtually identical to Bill C-14). If approved, this bill would partially deregulate Canada Post by removing international letters from Canada Post’s exclusive privilege to handle letters. Bill C-44 is currently being debated in the House of Commons. The single most important action you can take to help defeat Bill C-44 is to contact your member of Parliament (MP). CUPW...
Dear member of Parliament: Postal bill to partially deregulate Canada Post is premature and potentially dangerous
(October 15, 2009/ Strategic Review of Canada Post / Letters)

In June 2009, the federal government introduced Bill C-44, an Act to amend the Canada Post Corporation Act. If approved, this bill would partially deregulate Canada Post by removing international letters from Canada Post’s exclusive privilege to handle letters. I oppose Bill C-44. Canada Post has an 'exclusive privilege' to collect, transmit and deliver letters, including international letters, in order to finance its universal service obligation. The government should not...
