    Public option banks, cell phone plans, and dry goods grocery store staples. Don’t try to out-Amazon Amazon. Let them take the bottom and do different things people want.

      I think workers’ rights legislation would go a long way to making Canada Post more competitive even without many changes. It’s hard to compete with slavery.

      Canada Post has to pay their employees benefits and vacation. All the other delivery companies are relying on the gig economy, and probably paying their “contractors” less than minimum wage, and certainly no benefits.
