Letters Criticize Reported New Postal Strike as Others Back $21 Windrow Service

Writers cite financial strain at Canada Post, with knock‑on harm for charities and small firms.

Overview

  • Several letters say the Canadian Union of Postal Workers has called another strike and quote the union president rejecting what he described as a government attack on good‑paying jobs.
  • Contributors argue Canada Post is in severe financial trouble, using phrases like “bleeding cash,” and contend work stoppages worsen the outlook.
  • Readers warn repeated strikes are driving customers away from mail service and that lost business may not return once reliability is in doubt.
  • One letter highlights how small charities without online donation options and small companies suffer when postal service is disrupted.
  • A separate letter supports a reported Mississauga plan to clear driveway windrows for about $21 per taxpayer, with the writer saying they would pay the fee and pointing to potential reductions in pollution from gas snowblowers.
