During the strategic review process, it was made clear that opposition to postal deregulation is widespread.  The public is opposed.  Many federal politicians and municipal representatives are opposed.  Groups representing seniors, rural residents, people with disabilities, labour, students and civil society are also opposed to deregulation.

In spite of this, the government is trying to push partial deregulation of Canada Post through Parliament as part of its omnibus budget bill (Bill C-9) which includes deregulation of international letters.  It is the Conservative’s third attempt to pass legislation deregulating international letters.

If passed, Bill C-9 will leave Canada Post with less money to pay taxes and dividends to the government and less money to provide universal public postal service. This is about as anti-democratic as it gets.

Ask your MP:

• To oppose deregulation.
• To support postal workers and their families?
• To support keeping jobs in communities?
• To demand that the government delete the section of
  Bill C-9 (Part 15) affecting Canada Post.
