Canada Post faces 1984 rate hike amid massive losses
The piece argues Canada Post will lose about 300 million this year while rates rose 88 percent over 30 months. It notes a planned January increase to 34 cents, a clash with business groups, a looming strike, and comparisons to the U.S. Postal Service, which earned profits and faces wage freezes. The tone is critical of Canada Post’s efficiency and governance.

Canada Post plan to raise rates sparks public backlash

Another postal hike leaves a bad taste
A commentary argues that Canada Post needs better leadership and labor management. It notes higher pay for posties with lower output versus the United States and cites a $616-million profit by the U S postmaster general while wage demands go unmet. More than 60 percent of CFIB members rate the service poor and the piece questions paying more.
