Oh I am aware that they don't really need to turn a profit. Net zero / cost recovery is more than good enough. And I am in no way implying using government legislation to regulate that market. We need Canada Post to change their business model where they can still retain their currently hired employees. Are they seriously not able to make significant changes to their existing model to be more competitive? It reeks of a non-innovative c-suite and board (and government officials) unwilling to take the hard road of actually working with the employees to make complex organizational changes. They are taking the easy way out via 'standard accounting/business practices' by slashing services and worker layoffs. That's the easy way out.

What does the hard way look like? How about sitting down with union employees down to the lowest worker level and actually find ways for cost savings and new business opportunities to patch the shortfall? I don't to believe that CP management truly has tried other than finger-pointing at external private businesses stealing their lunch from underneath them or government legislation that's unwilling to change (because the fed gov is really the one in control here - so again, I'm saying they're just taking the easy way out. You think an elected federal government employee is going to sit down and do the hard work to go around talking to a large number of union employees to find a way through all this? My bet is no - they'll take the easy way out.)
