As a public asset, Canada Post should not be driven by profitability but affordable services. Some parts of Canada Post are extremely profitable and should be used to cross-subsidize the less profitable areas such as rural deliveries. And I am sick of the blame game on unionized pension plans and employee benefits. Well managed plans should not be factored into the balance books of day to day operations.
It certainly seems that the intent is to privatize assets and services. By downsizing costs associated with labour, it becomes easier to sell off services.
