CUPW has announced an immediate strike, and postal workers are currently walking off the job.

The minister of public works, Joel Lightbound, has announced his intentions to implement all of the recommedations laid out in the Kaplan report, including permanently ending door-to-door delivery and the requirement to deliver mail 5 days a week.

Not sure how he expected labour to respond to 1/3 of the workforce being made redundant.

The NDP isn’t even an option at the moment though

They were at the time of election. It was not a two party situation, that's just a lie people are telling themselves to soothe the foolish decision they allowed themselves to be tricked into making.

When you consider that all of the other parties less than, seven percent of the total seats, this so-called lie becomes less of a lie and a bit more the reality of the situation.

Except, once again, the last two elections resulted in a strong enough NDP to stop the Liberal's worst instincts. To such an extent that people were able to lie to themselves that the good things that came from those governments were the products of the Liberals and not NDP pressure.

So how did that situation end for the NDP then? I agree it was quite the unique situation, and it was kind of neat to see honestly. But how did that all end for the NDP?

Plot spoiler: not well.

Yeah, Canadian voters fucked up real bad and now we're going to suffer the consequences, it's true.
