How we should describe #CanadaPost. If not, we should say 'Department of Defence lost another $60 billion this year ...' #Cdnpoli #USpoli
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

4) It 'warms' Canadians to the idea that conglomerates are going to pump prices.
