If the public pays, the public gets a say.
The Canada Post Group of Companies clearly knows how to transform itself when it comes to doing business.
With Purolator and the acquisition of Livingston International, it is expanding into freight, parcels, logistics, customs brokerage, and international trade.
When it comes to selling, buying, restructuring, and chasing profitable markets, there is no shortage of imagination.
But when it comes time to talk about public service, rural and remote regions, seniors, Indigenous communities, small businesses, and workers, all we seem to hear about are cuts, concessions, and rollbacks.
That does not add up. 🤯
Canada Post belongs to the people.
It is not just another delivery company.
It is a national public infrastructure.
It connects the country.
It serves cities, towns, villages, remote regions, and communities that private companies are not always interested in serving.
The people should decide.
The federal government has already provided Canada Post with $1.034 billion in repayable funding in 2025 to keep operations going and avoid insolvency. In early 2026, another repayable funding package of up to $1.008 billion was approved.
That is more than $2 billion in repayable public money.
At the same time, the Canada Post Group of Companies is making major business decisions.
In 2024, Canada Post and Purolator sold SCI Group Inc. and Innovapost Inc. In 2025, Purolator acquired Livingston International, a company specializing in customs brokerage, global freight, and trade consulting services.
So…
If the Canada Post Group of Companies can sell off subsidiaries, buy Livingston International, expand commercial logistics, and receive more than $2 billion in repayable public funding, why shouldn’t the public have the right to a real public debate about the future of postal service?
We are calling for a public, independent, and full review of Canada Post’s mandate, with:
• access to the complete financial picture;
• consultation with workers;
• consultation with regions;
• consultation with municipalities;
• consultation with Indigenous communities;
• consultation with seniors;
• consultation with small and medium-sized businesses;
• consultation with the public.
Is Canada Post really just short of money, or is it mainly stuck with an outdated mandate?
The financial crisis must not be used as an excuse to cut public service and weaken working conditions.
It should be used to open up a real democratic debate.
Not a debate decided in advance.
Not a debate between experts locked away in boardrooms.
A real public debate with the people who do the work, the people who pay for the service, and the people who depend on the postal system.
Before cuts, transparency.
Before concessions, show us the numbers.
Before imposed decisions, a public debate.
Canada Post is a public good. The people must decide its future.
