Privatizing Canada Post would be a costly mistake

Selling off Canada Post would raise costs, cut service, and leave rural Canadians behind. It’s a vital public service, not a business.

    There are some examples in places like Russia where things like the privatization of the food system has led to more options for citizens, but it was a rough transition and much of the privatization just ended up in more corrupt systems.

      @BlameThePeacock @shani66 To add to this. The privitization of the Dutch energy market did drive down costs for the consumers.

      It worked.

      Untill the war in Ukraine. That wiped out any consumer gains and then some as we got hit with the full force of the exploded gasprices.
