Canada Post on Strike

[Frankfooter]

I’m not debating with you anymore. I have already said I want to keep the topic on CP itself and you want to go off tangents.

You have agreed to some cuts and then changed your opinion. You are bring up things that are not relevant to CP itself. You are debating strictly for the internet fight and not because you really care about CP as a whole and I have no interest in that as you will just keep going in circles to keep the argument going.

I disagree with most of your opinions on how to change this CP issue itself and I’m fine at ending it there with you directly.

I disagree with your CP.

Fine.

But for me this is all part of the larger right/left, liberal/conservative debate that has been ongoing in this country for 50 years, and its only made things worse.
Because it never works.

Well at least you can admit you are not debating CP itself but instead focusing on the typical left/right debate. Which is why I won’t debate that. I’m not left. I’m not right. I debated each individually on their own merits. And in this case, I’m debating based on the numbers. Not a political side.

Ok, I can respect saying you will judge issues on their own merits.
I think the context is part of issue.

Talk to me when you are actually paying that full tax rate and not using deductions and accounting to keep it around what the middle and lower class pay.

Okay I'm talking. Paid the the full ride (over $250,000 tax paid. yes 50%) with no non-standard personal deductions other than I gave 25,000 to Southlake hospital and $5,000 to the food bank. Now you smart ass.

I'm not seeing a response here, lol...You watch there will be some sort of deflection.

Which would you prefer:
For me to post some number you will then not believe?
Or for me to just say I don't post personal info here?

I get my banking by mail, I don't like my credit cards (with my numbers) going online by Email. I pay them by phone.

Most banks nowadays have online access to their statements. Notices come out that they are available. So you can avoid emailing of any banking documents for the most part.

Yes, I'm hoping this strike will be a short one.

So fun fact... In a former life I owned both a direct mail business and a data firm. One of the not-cool things we did was process statements for one of the big banks. That information that you prefer to receive in the mail was sent to us electronically, where it was processed by my staff then sent to my other company over the Internet, fed into an iGen press where a handful of high-school graduates watched it get printed before it went to our mailing division where a bunch of Philippine immigrants looked after folding, stuffing and sorting, before Canada Post picked up a bunch of plastic trays holding millions of those statements.

The really fun part is that once that stuff left our loading dock, it was only handled from then on by a bunch of overpaid, chronically whinny, persecuted Canada Post employees who all hate their jobs. They're job is to stuff it into an unguarded box that may be on the side of the road, basically open to anyone with sticky fingers.

When it comes to the digital world, bear in mind, that generally, your stuff isn't actually "sent" to you. All that's sent is a notice that you can look at a new statement or something. In order to see it, you need satisfy a password challenge, and then a two-factor authentication, and only then can you look at your stuff on the bank's super-secure server.

So no, mail is 100% not "safer" then online.

It will mostly end on Wednesday.

Post the number for entertainment purposes only.

 

[xmontrealer]

Got mail today!

Still have the strike sword hanging over our heads until an actual agreement is reached, though...

 

[LickingG2]

Post the number for entertainment purposes only.

He won't. At least not truthful amount. He is a freeloader who always somebody to pay his ticket.

 

[seat54]

Any timeline when we can expect this strike to end?

 

[K Douglas]

Got a piece of mail at the office today. No it wasn't a cheque.

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

Looks like they may have reached a deal

Canada Post, union reach tentative agreements, with vote expected in new year

The union and Crown corporation say they've agreed that strike or lockout action will not take place during the ratification process.

I'm only getting mail 2 times a week now. It seems fine.
I get packages at all times, even weekends, NOT from Canada Post.
Is that a part of their agreement?

Canada Post only something like 85% of Purlolator.
