    Canada post is a public service, its supposed to be over budget. That’s like saying the firemen aren’t making enough money grifting people with fire putting out fees every time they get a call.

      I was hoping to get more information on the historical budgets, and interesting found that Canada post has their annual reports available to be downloaded and viewed on their website

      However, from 2004 to 2017 you can get really detailed reports such as

      And more

      But starting 2018 and onwards it only shows bullshit paragraphs about the president’s message and select pieces of information, not raw data, which is also the year they supposedly started to loss money instead of be profitable.

      I don’t like how non-transparent that seems. I was also trying to find what the budget was historically and when or if it has been raised to keep up with inflation but it’s too early to do that on my phone

        This a good find. Honestly, I feel like its all just propaganda to get rid of the postal service to undermine workers rights.

      Over budget doesn’t mean unprofitable. It means over budget. You can be a public service and be on/under budget.
