‘We will have to do less of some of the things that we want to do,’ Carney says

[…]

“The upcoming budget will balance the operating deficit in three years by reducing wasteful government spending and doing more with less,” Carney said. “But the fact is, even with such efficiencies and with better management, we will have to do less of some of the things that we want to do, so we can do more of what we must do to build a bigger and better Canada.”

It remains unclear exactly what those sacrifices will be or how they will be distributed.

    Right??? Our geography dictates that there is no way to both be profitable and ensure that all areas of the country have access to mail service, which remains how much government correspondence is handled.

      All physical government correspondence should go through Canada Post/Expresspost. Amazon/UPS anything American should be banned from all levels of Canadian government.

        Agreed. By much correspondence, I was referring to how there are still some services that have not migrated to digital alternatives.

        Mail should be considered a utility like electricity and access to potable water. It shouldn’t be restricted to profitable areas.
