Скачать или смотреть This Week in Politics: Is it time to sell Canada Post?

The mail came to a halt on Thursday evening as the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) walked off the job in response to the federal government’s proposed changes to Canada Post. The latest action comes after a year of ongoing negotiations between the union and the Crown corporation, which have failed to reach an agreement. Tough as it may seem, it's time for Canada to have an honest conversation about the future of it's national postal service.

In today's This Week in Politics on "The Ben Mulroney Show", Ben welcomes back guests Chris Chapin, Managing Principal of Upstream Strategy, and Warren Kinsella, Founder of Fratton Park Inc. The trio discusses various pressing political issues in Canada, including the future of Canada Post, Mahmoud Abbas' speech at the UN, Canada's foreign policy and trade relations, gun rights in Alberta, provincial rights concerning the Constitution, and the fentanyl crisis affecting communities across the country.

The panel argues that Canada Post needs a national conversation about its future as the private sector has found better ways to handle parcel delivery. Gun rights are a significant issue in Alberta politics and Danielle Smith's mandate letters are being used as a political strategy. However, her use of the notwithstanding clause raises constitutional concerns. The group then pivots to the fentanyl crisis; declaring it a pressing issue that needs addressing; emphasizing the need for effective solutions to social issues.
