Looking at the loss numbers cited since 2018 come down to $20-30 per Canadian per year tops. This whole hullabaloo, erosion of confidence, economic disruption and more are over that. Mail and parcel delivery is basic economic infrastructure today. Having a public, reliable delivery service that covers all of Canada, that's run below cost, is an economic enabler for Canadian businesses, like water, electricity and roads. I can't believe we're doing what we're doing right now, especially for a government that talks about boosting Canada's economy. Ridiculous.

E: I'm beginning to believe that this isn't about incompetence mismanagement but perhaps willful mismanagement on the part of CP's exec layer who perhaps see higher compensation on the horizon, should CP be privatized. Of course at the expense of everyone else, workers, businesses and individual Canadians.
