CUPW – Postal Deregulation: Positively Rubbish
March 72010
cupw.ca/StrategicReview — On April 21, the federal government announced a review of Canada Post that will determine the future of universal public postal service in this country.
It is calling its examination the Canada Post Corporation Strategic Review (CPCSR) [http://www.cpcstrategicreview-examenstrategiquescp.gc.ca/index-eng.html].
The government has given the CPCSR a very broad mandate. It has ruled out privatization, but not deregulation of Canada Post.
Even though the government’s strategic review could change the very nature of our postal system, there are no plans for public hearings. The review’s advisory panel is simply consulting with “major stakeholders”.
It is asking the public and groups to provide written submissions by September 2, 2008. It will report to the government by December 2008. A speedy review without public hearings is hardly a democratic way to decide the fate of our publicly-owned post office.

This is Bear and I going to our mailbox. Sorry for the bounciness ~ if you could see the lane, you would know why. The rain washes down it and washes away the soil, leaving it rather rocky. Plus, the momentum of walking downhill does not help!
