  • Canada is 9,984,670sq km with a population density of 4.5/sq km. That’s ~2.2m routes to see all Canadians 5-times a week.

    The UK is 244,376sq km with a population density of 286/sq km. If there was universal coverage that’d be about ~1000 delivery-person-routes per day. So delivering a route is orders of magnitude easier, faster, and simpler for the workers at the Royal Mail.

    If the UK only had once a day delivery they’d be 0.045% as efficient as thier Canadian counterparts.

    EVEN WITH twice daily delivery the Royal Mail has less than 1% the efficiency of CUPW workers.

    With that said, both face external (couriers) and internal (government) pressure to profit.

    Ask yourself this: as a service to citizens of both countries, what other public services have to make a profit? National Defence? National Healthcare? National Police?

    None do because privateers have already raped and pillaged those services for maximum profit as suppliers. So they don’t get lobbied the same - or even compared.

    No, just Postal services with their well developed contact with the communities they serve are singled out to be profit centers for cash hungry politicians.

    Ride a bike, it’s free - no taxes (fuel). Or drive a car and pay for the road the cyclists need. It’s quite simple. Take automobiles OUT of the equation and watch municipal. provincial and federal taxes sky-rocket. Livable cities? SURE!! They’ll cost you, though, so don’t be like every other NIMBY-cyclist and thing it’ll be some kind of free utopia.


  • This is the point. L’il pp gets to keep his fancier Ottawa address that Canadians fund. Cause it has the patina of fiscal prudence for his troll and troglodite cultists.

    But it’d be L’il pp having fits of unthinkable pearl clutching and calling to fetch the fainting couch if any other political loser tried to freeload any amount of time in Stornoway.

    And Scheer’s lickspittle response is disingenuous at best, more likely calculated to garner him a bigger prize for his fealty and supposed sacrifice.

    Hypocrisy and fraud are the only true goals of L’il pp’s populist kleptocracy. Not fairness. Not governance. Just what’s in it for me.

    As for the diversionary whataboutism posted by bot accounts - thanks for showing up and revealing how your shallow your opinions really are. Lib = bad. L’il pp = good. Should vote NDP to split the left.

    We get it. Divide and conquer. Just like the gop and the orange baboon’s ass did in 'Murica.

    Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Enjoy your retirement funded by Canadians while book-burning in Floriduh!! !

    L’il pp making new friends with domestic terrorists.

    Well… yes.

    It’s the profit trail this’d address. Make the measurable cost of sales too high so these carpetbaggers fuck off back to selling to already obese consumers (Muricans).

    Give CDN industry a chance to flourish in the daylight rather thsn the shadow of economically dominant US competitors. Let’s level the playing field.
