To those who claim CP was "never meant to be profitable"
Canada Post was established as a Crown corporation in 1981 under the Canada Post Corporation Act, with an explicit mandate to be self-sustaining financially and generate enough revenue to cover costs without relying on government subsidies WHILE providing universal postal service to all Canadians.
Per Wikipedia:
By 1989, Canada Post had resolved much of its financial troubles, reporting its first profit since 1957.^([20]) It continued to operate at a consistent profit from 1995 to 2010.^([21])
It's time to stop pretending Canada Post was always meant to operate on life support.
