Postal workers being delt a shady deal, they are locked out by Canada post. So there is a large enough disruption in service they the gov't will force them back to work, so they have no leverage in negotiating a fair deal with Canada post. But in true Candian fashion, get lied too, cheated, steal our hard earned money and benefits and do nothing.....but lose 1 hockey game and we'll burn it down.......

Canada has always seemed to be a rather fair government to me, might have just been my perspective though- I know the tax rate is high

Watch what you ask for...you'll end up getting all the illegal aliens coming in and taking jobs (pry postal jobs :roll: ), free health care, free homes, no taxes for them, free everything, then the freedom to bear their own flag, whine about your laws and how you guys take care of things,

Well...you get my point :| .


good luck with the postal situation. I've got money sitting there somewhere for a member here on the board and a gear sitting there coming this way.

I have found to be a rather shake up of things in the last little while, seems to be more and more stories of coruption and misspend dollars, which is always promident in any gov't system but coming to light and getting exposed more recently. This is getting heavy for a Hobby site,

CHEERS to postal workers contract and people getting their cool vintage r/c parts

I got a heads up from my parcel site, and 3 options that will still get through that don't use canada post, so it is doable from the UK at least.
