Save Canada Post Analysis

Decent Essays
On December 11, 2013 Canada Post announced severe cutbacks to public door-to-door postal delivery services. This will eliminate countless jobs and dramatically increase the price of stamps. Essentially they are charging Canadians more to not deliver the mail. Canada Post is able to do this by situating more community mailboxes across the country, thus eliminating the need for door-to-door delivery. Door-to-door mail delivery is a public service that belongs to all of us Canadians and with enough effort we can force the federal government and Canada Post executives to listen to what the public needs from there postal service.

“Save Canada Post” is a documentary that focuses on the people who are directly effected (some of whom are barely getting)

Next, he uses the escalator stopping to show that Mulcair isn't going to get our economy anywhere because he is promising more cuts.…
