Canada on a whole from the federal level down to the municipal level is anti-business. Starting up a business often requires a deep pocket with red tape every step of the way. If the Liberals want to really galvanize collective action from Canadians, they need to be providing business centric services that are easy to access, affordable and competitive. Where’s the business starter kit from the government? Oh wait, there isn’t one. Better spend a few grand and loads of time on a business degree huh?
That’s cause Canada’s inherent nature to protect the duopolies that have developed. We have to protect these large national companies cause if they leave; the economy and services to Canadians will suffer.
Would it suck at first? Yes however new companies will rush into the market to take advantage of the market conditions.
Lol…leave? Leaving billions on the table overnight? Yeah, I would call the duopoly’s bluff. You said it yourself, someone else will fill the void to take advantage of market conditions and provide the good/service that was there before. It just means Liberals and Cons lean corporate heavy.
Canada Post rested on its laurels for far too long and did not manage to make any big headways to improve from the management level - they like to keep blaming the government mandate - what a scapegoat. Their management needs a hard look. Our public dollars are being wasted on these people because they can’t even think beyond just mail/parcel services.
To be fair, Canada Post Corporation Act does heavily limit Canada Post’s ability to think of different ways to generate revenue.
5 (1) The objects of the Corporation are
(a) to establish and operate a postal service for the collection, transmission and delivery of messages, information, funds and goods both within Canada and between Canada and places outside Canada;
(b) to manufacture and provide such products and to provide such services as are, in the opinion of the Corporation, necessary or incidental to the postal service provided by the Corporation; and
( c) to provide to or on behalf of departments and agencies of, and corporations owned, controlled or operated by, the Government of Canada or any provincial, regional or municipal government in Canada or to any person services that, in the opinion of the Corporation, are capable of being conveniently provided in the course of carrying out the other objects of the Corporation.
Canada Post should be lobbying for a greater mandate such as a postal banking, a lost cost ISP provider, etc. It’s definitely the fault of politicians not to change the mandate of Canada Post.
