@leftylabourtech He is right! CP is the only way to guarantee mail service at a reasonable price to all Canadian communities. Private couriers may be cheaper, but that’s only in large centres because of the volume. They drop remote routes like a hot potato.

Privatizing CP would only mean some areas would go unserviced or some Canadians would have to pay $50 to send a simple letter.
