38% support some privatization of Canada Post
-
This is worrying, even with the majority not wanting privatization.
Lately I think the number of low IQ people has increased from ~15% to 30%
Since COVID people have been significantly stupider.

It’s nice to see that we no longer trust privatization as a the magic wand that solves public institution problems.
That said I think the 52% support for non-union gig work in Canada Post is indicative of the mindset that needs shifting if Canada is to change course in a way that makes most people better off long term.

Majority support for non union gig workers? Allow me to present my middle finger you no solidarity having, short-sighted worthless fucks.

You can tell what position a publication supports when they describe slightly more than a third as if it was a majority.

Have you come across any measurements on this?

38% of people are brain dead.

That’s a terrible fucking idea.

More like indoctrinated into self-harming beliefs. No one is born with an opinion or understanding on privatization. 🥹

According to Oxford long covid averages a 10 point IQ drop, other sources say mild covid resulted in a 3-6 point drop.

Interesting, if a bit tangential, that 72% support reducing delivery frequency while Canada Post is trying to increase delivery frequency by doing weekend deliveries.
Personally, I don’t understand how many things can be so urgent that it’s profitable to deliver as frequently as possible. Surely a single specialised courier for critically fast deliveries (e.g. life saving medicine) would entirely saturate the market.
Such a dumb and badly run country.
Every TTC subway stop should have a post office in it. The TTC should be run 24hrs a day. You should be able to pick up your package at the post office within the TTC subway stop easily.
Post offices within the GTHA really should be walking distance for most people. Go pick your package up somewhere close by, open 24hrs.
Putting post offices in Shoppers Drug Mart isn’t too bad, but it would be better if they where in 24hr donought shops.
We need to use community postal boxes more.
We need traffic cameras to automatically ticket couriers that block traffic.
We need to get ride of this ‘independent contractor’ nonsense. It’s a scam.
But for this to happen the Fed/Prov/City and Crown Corps all need to work together…so it’ll never happen.

Isn’t that about the same percentage that vote conservative every election?
The original article contains some statistics by party, and yes, there is a correlation between voting Conservative and not wanting to fund Canada Post. Other correlations: rural people tend to support funding Canada Post, people who seldom or never receive mail tend not to. (The rural and Conservative tendencies are going to pull in opposite directions for a fair number of people.) I wouldn’t be surprised to discover that there’s also a correlation with income brackets, but they don’t seem to have collected that information.

I think it’s also made much more apparent when that demographic that had no interest in computers were forced to be chronically online due to the lockdowns and quickly found the anti-vaxx groups, and suddenly felt like their opinion matters and that everyone is an expert if they do a little bit of “research”.

Interesting. We should look at country IQ averages in the coming years. Would be interesting to see how these changes affect it. A lot of people had mild illness.

In case anyone wants to see some of the breakdown.

Reduce mail to 3 days a week.
TBH, if it avoids privatization and saves money, I’d be happy getting mail even once a week. Nothing we get by mail is so urgent that a few extra days will destroy lives.
In cases where something is needed urgently, there’s courier, express mail, etc. as premium options. Regular “snail mail” isn’t meant to be fast.
Adding to the above, keep in mind that courier and express mail are useless if you live in small towns with distance to the nearest large city.
I’ve had express mail take longer to get to me than regular mail does simply because that’s how the system is set up.

38 percent should go fuck themselves!

Canada is being heavily targeted by Cambridge Analytica (whatever they’re called now), now that they’ve achieved total domination in the US. Please be careful! It starts with facebook and talk radio and gets very bad very quickly.

When public services are kneecapped to be worse than their private equivalent then people stop using them and then they turn private.

That’s why I’m on Lemmy. If I’m going to be indoctrinated. At least, I become even more a solid leftist.

I’d have no problem if urban mail took a week, while resources were used to make sure that rural service was more timely. But I also don’t know how much is spent on rural delivery vs. urban mail. I have a friend who works for Canada Post, maybe I should ask. LOL
