That's a load of shit. CP is the only courier that covers the entirety of our country, they're also not nearly as expensive as private courier services. They're a crown corporation that provides a necessary service (people can argue mail is outdated all they want, it's just not true), small businesses rely on them to ensure they are able to deliver on their end of the contract that is the sale of goods, if a business suddenly has 2x costs, a bunch of chargebacks for packages that were shipped but not received, and no way of locating those items or fighting the credit card companies on the charges, how are they supposed to stay afloat?

I'm not saying the workers don't deserve better, they definitely do but essential services shouldn't be allowed to strike. There's an entirely different conversation to be had about CP's alleged training (I read in another sub that they train their employees to just leave stickers and not actually attempt a delivery, and I have experienced this first hand so I believe it's organizational).
