Now excuse my ignorance here, but does the act actually say they explicitly can’t generate revenue outside of its mandate? From a cursory search I do not believe so. Which then they cannot reasonably claim they couldn’t. The Liberals knew Canada Post was in trouble during 2020, and now they’ve thrown a 37 year old minister at the problem? I’m in the same age range and it seems like all he can come up with is read the spreadsheets and decide to slash services because they’re ‘insolvent’ and losing 10 million a day after giving it 1 billion to ‘fix’ their issues. I’m sorry, but they’ve tried nothing but throw money at it and are already out of ideas. I mean what’s the Canadian government going to do if Canada Post goes out of its way to generate more revenue to keep it in the black? How is that in any way ‘bad’ if its benefits Canadians as a whole?
Canada Post’s union has been trying to tell its management there are other ways to generate revenue (I do not think they’ve publicly said how yet) but it’s C-suite is bullheaded from what I can tell. Hired to run the company, but not hired to do extraordinary work despite a 500k / year salary CEO. Their management should be on the hook more than the union and the rest of us Canadians paying for this so called ‘essential’ service.
