BREAKING: Canada Post workers vote to accept contract

They should accept anything put in front of them. The post office is going the way of the pony express.

Are you serious? It should be the other way around and the employer should be thankful for employees to exploit in order to extract surplus value.

LOL our problems started when Trudeau was elected , and now continue with Carney.Trump, right or wrong does not work for Canadians , he was elected by the American people to work for them.

Not trying to be a jerk. But what about the rest of us. Quit acting like those below the poverty line are the only ones hurting. Grocery stores are affecting everyone!

Transit users are "low income"? I use transit, I'm not "low income", I use transit due to medical issues and I'm not low income. Don't be so quick to make assumptions.

How about dropping your carbon tax and help every Canadian

We need to step away from the U.S. They are no longer a friend and would rather see us as a territory no matter their 51st state talk. We would have no territorial rights, no votes and no autonomy. They have already shown that any purchase of military equipment comes with a "kill switch", that allows them control over our own military vehicles, if purchased from them. It's time to move on and become a citizen of the world at large.

More of Carney's smoke and mirrors. The majority of Canadians in a two-income family don't qualify for GST rebates and won't qualify for the grocery benefit. Once again, the middle class gets taxed more to support everyone else. Affordability affects the middle class equally as well.

the problem with buying American weapons and equipment just gives the Americans more control . it robs us of our sovereignty in a way .

Canada is absolutely moving in the right direction. The American government (Trump and friends) have adequately demonstrated their penchant for antagonism and war (tariffs, Iran, Israel, Venezuela, Cuba...). Can Canada be that far behind on their list of targets?Purchasing any defense equipment from the US comes with huge risks, especially when they can withhold upgrades to their proprietary software. What use is a jet when they can crash it with the push of a button? There's no question that the government is in a tough position, orchestrated by Trump. For the foreseeable future, I don't see Canada being an ally of the US. Certainly not while Republicans are at the helm. We are in their crosshairs. Building our defensive capability without their technology is the smartest thing we can do.

No Carney won’t pay a price but Canadians will.

This multi billion dollar money pit needs to end.The government should shut it down and privatize it. Start from scratch. Top down to the boots on the ground. It needs to be streamlined and made cost efficient.Mark my words, this time next year, we'll be hearing how the taxpayers are on the hook for another $2+ billion in losses

I think Paikin is afflicted with a case of TDS, always droning on about Trump.

Think about it, it doesn’t matter what people sign or say about the transit routes. The city spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so and in turn will be saving money over the year with one less driver/bus. People who use the bus are low-income, so do you think they will actually change anything? Do you think all of a sudden the ridership will decrease? I don’t think so, and they are thinking the same way. If you do not like it, buy a car or ride a bike, which will not happen either. So people will continue to ride the bus.

Hahahaha, a little too late. Now the downsizing begins. thank yourselves for it, congratulations!

"Anger our southern neighbour" ? Really? Don't you think he's already raging on us?

It doesn’t matter where Carney spends Canadian money; he had already in every area before defence spending when tariffs were announced to try to appease Donald Trump, and Trump just has a new tantrum, comes up with a story about tariffs on something else, so it doesn’t matter what we do on this side; nothing’s going to please the Americans. At least Carney sees thought trumps bs. Even if Carney gave into everything, Canada will still get nothing; this is why we have to cut the umbilical cord, as you can see many other countries are as well and in the long run it is the Americans who will be left for themselves and they can continue to divide and cause chaos over there. That’s how they enjoy to live.

It's based on total income. Those that don't qualify, obviously make more money so you can afford groceries.

Great, fantastic, turning cartwheels with all the excitement that once again because I don't have children I do not qualify for any governmental assistance. 50 years old and living off Mr Noodles like i did in my 20's, only back then it was 4 for a dollar. I would have thought with a 30years working I would be able to afford housing/rent and groceries but silly me, that's obviously not what our wonderful Liberal government thinks is important. Terry Sheehan is a pompous, incompetent, ignoramus without any social awareness. Read the room Terry, we're not doing OK.
