Good morning. I just wanna say I don't wanna be, never expected to be, the guy who cares so much about Canada Post. My granddad collected stamps and that's probably my closest connection. I barely am able to send christmas cards each year from executive dysfunction, so it's not like I keep it afloat (except we do, our tax dollars do, we WANT our tax dollars to do so).

It's just that I know history, how before there were things like Canada Post and libraries and public services if you wanted to do something "fancy" like read a book or send a letter you had to beg and pay a lord or other rich person to let you do it. So mostly you just didn't. You didn't read a book or didn't send a letter. Instead you worked the land owned by someone else to make them rich and then you died.

So when public systems are eroded, I sense a return to the age of "you work the land to make someone else rich until you die." and that's not acceptable to me.

So, I care about Canada Post. Damn.

I saw the line in the budget - cutting funding by 98.7% (if memory serves, it might not) for Canada Post.

On top of the provincial government cutting the ENTIRE budget for Nova Scotia publishing, I'm just kind of aghast at these clods who would drown children, provided they only have to give the order and not do it themselves. It's perverse.

I got mad last night folks. I flamed out. I flounced. Because I want free stamps, lol.
