Personally I don’t care if they are ever back to work but from what I have been hearing small businesses are suffering……sad for all.
Considering Canada post is a crown corporation, they ought to be ordered back to work. This is in the category of being a critical government service. Regardless of if they are losing money, or provide less than ideal service. the fact is that taxpayers foot the bill for a reliable ongoing postal services and letter mail services which many buisnesss rely upon. This has caused so much disruption, delays, and costs as to be absurd. And guess what, EVERYONE is feeling the crunch right now. The buying power of the Canadian dollar is tanking due to government policies and no one is unscathed. All the unions are doing the same thing, ultimatums just to make ends meet. The solution isn't printing more money, it's making more stuff to bring prices down, and we need the government to get out of the damned way.

@@00J3553 Let me set you straight. In 2023, Canada Post reported a loss before tax of $748 million, an increase from the $548 million loss in 2022. This decline was attributed to intensified competition in the parcel delivery market, ongoing reductions in Transaction Mail volumes, and rising operational costs. From 2018 to 2023, Canada Post accumulated total losses before tax amounting to $3 billion. This means that the $3 billion in losses was covered by taxpayers, effectively making the funds spent by postal workers taxpayer money.
Absolutely! Order them back to work and fire those who resist. The private package delivery companies that they’re using are trash as well!. Mail is a necessity! Do it or lose it Canada Post!
Attention postal workers. Please go back to work until after Christmas so you don't ruin it for the children. Take January, February, March, April May off so we don't get our credit card bills. That's how you gain public support😂😂😂
It's elementary dear Watson the mail is an essential service not an optional thing and as such not under any labor laws or regulations. It's the governments responsibility to protect, preserve and provide any essential service.
Should have done this two weeks ago. The union is so out to lunch and CP is so broke that no deal could have been reached. Small business and the average Canadian are the losers here.
This is a disgrace to me that our mail can be held up, I saw on the News that a family put their father's ashes in the mail and promises made to be sent to Ontario and bingo, strike, so this man's ashes are stuck in with millions of boxes, I know how I would feel if that was my loved one. It was a case of have to do it that way. My bills are all tied up. I like making certain donations to charities this time of year to buy food and presents for those who need it. I can't do that without the mail so it's nothing short of a disgrace to me that they were not ordered back to work even Dec. lst.

Ottawa should be shutting down Canada post…. It’s useless
Postal workers stay home this is Christmas time be with yours family Otherwise yours 55000. will be homeless soon because yours Destroyed Canadians economy.
Try using English
Now we don't care about them, same as that don't care about public interests. We switched to an alternative business and we do not return in the future.
Outdated we don't need it anymore maybe they should of taken care if postal workers instead of taking taxpayers money to open Purolator 😮
Leave them out. I say that as someone with lazy family members that pretend to work for CP.
I miss my daily junk mail. End this strike now!!!! 😀😀😀
They need a time out to come up with workable plans…..something to negotiate…..looking in from outside apparently they can’t even negotiate something from the proposals they had. Personally I don’t care if they are ever back to work but from what I have been hearing small businesses are suffering……sad for all.
No.
Considering Canada post is a crown corporation, they ought to be ordered back to work. This is in the category of being a critical government service. Regardless of if they are losing money, or provide less than ideal service. the fact is that taxpayers foot the bill for a reliable ongoing postal services and letter mail services which many buisnesss rely upon. This has caused so much disruption, delays, and costs as to be absurd.
And guess what, EVERYONE is feeling the crunch right now. The buying power of the Canadian dollar is tanking due to government policies and no one is unscathed. All the unions are doing the same thing, ultimatums just to make ends meet.
The solution isn't printing more money, it's making more stuff to bring prices down, and we need the government to get out of the damned way.
Everytime at Christmas. Everyone else the government forces back to work
Totally misframing this with false equivalencies
lol yea that’s false. Great way of outing yourself that you’re not Canadian
@jumbome7420 totally true they always strike around Christmas and the government just forced the port workers back to work 🙄 remember nurses union got told to get back to work also no difference
@@Davidhall10 lol the nurses union never went on strike. Do you understand what a contact is
@jumbome7420 they did yrs back , im in a union . We never used a strike timeline as a advatage to force a contract , plus our strike didn't affect the whole country like yours does , especially Christmas. Get a grip 🙄, just maybe your asking for much ?? 2004 govn forced 43000 medical employee back to work with a 15% wage cut and a 2 yr contract, maybe your to young to remember this?
Canada Post losing money for a while and now you want raises 😂
CANADA POST, the grinch who stole Christmas 2024
Yes.
THE NDP, specifically Jagmeet Singh are responsible if the government mandates an end.
3 weeks ago I might have said no to government intervention but this strike lasted way too long and the damage is virtually irreparable.
Just another example of how our once great country is failing
Lets listen
Beatles
Mr postman
Aah
Yeah yeah yeah pierre trudeau listening...
Do your job Fire steve Mackinnon
Address these meticulous 55,000 IMMEDIATELY
Canada Post is bleeding money and has become less relevant as a business model, and we the taxpayers are being asked to fork out more? Nay Nay NO!
Actually you have it backwards the 55000 workers are paying taxes for you. None of your taxes go towards Canada Post.
You've proven how much you don't understand. It's a corporation. They aren't funded by taxpayer money.
@@00J3553 Let me set you straight. In 2023, Canada Post reported a loss before tax of $748 million, an increase from the $548 million loss in 2022.
This decline was attributed to intensified competition in the parcel delivery market, ongoing reductions in Transaction Mail volumes, and rising operational costs. From 2018 to 2023, Canada Post accumulated total losses before tax amounting to $3 billion.
This means that the $3 billion in losses was covered by taxpayers, effectively making the funds spent by postal workers taxpayer money.
Nope
How much do they want, 30 dollars an hour or something?
You don't wanna work? Quit, there's lots of ppl including myself that would like to work. And do the wanna ruin it for the rest of the world.
Like most unions, it’s all a gimmick
Absolutely! Order them back to work and fire those who resist. The private package delivery companies that they’re using are trash as well!. Mail is a necessity! Do it or lose it Canada Post!
Greed is never satisfied
Attention postal workers. Please go back to work until after Christmas so you don't ruin it for the children. Take January, February, March, April May off so we don't get our credit card bills. That's how you gain public support😂😂😂
VACKKKKKKKSEEEEEEEEEEEEENSSSSSS
It's elementary dear Watson the mail is an essential service not an optional thing and as such not under any labor laws or regulations. It's the governments responsibility to protect, preserve and provide any essential service.
YES!
it's all about balance
the damage done to the public has outweighed the allowance inherent in public servants rights to strike
A billion dollar a year loss. Who's paying for that? That would be some real journalism.
Should have done this two weeks ago. The union is so out to lunch and CP is so broke that no deal could have been reached. Small business and the average Canadian are the losers here.
Someone explain to me why we need Canada Post?
This is a disgrace to me that our mail can be held up, I saw on the News that a family put their father's ashes in the mail and promises made to be sent to Ontario and bingo, strike, so this man's ashes are stuck in with millions of boxes, I know how I would feel if that was my loved one. It was a case of have to do it that way. My bills are all tied up. I like making certain donations to charities this time of year to buy food and presents for those who need it. I can't do that without the mail so it's nothing short of a disgrace to me that they were not ordered back to work even Dec. lst.
