Canada Post is in the process of change. Now with a significant decline in volumes and increased competition, Canada Post is at a crossroads. How is it going to implement a smaller, more productive workforce with a cost-efficient modern infrastructure?
This website concentrates on the financial, political, and business dynamics of the change, focusing on its impact on future viability, employees, and the public.
Canadasmodernpost.ca and its previous home, canadasmodernpost.wordpress.com, have attempted to clarify realities in both a common-sense and substantive manner using publicly available factual evidence since 2011.
