If Mark Carney PM has any sense, he’ll invest significantly in CP, making it a universal letter and parcel carrier for Canada. Run it below cost, making every business shipping costs ultra low. Perhaps even get into an Amazon-like warehouse logistics where people can use their inventory management along with shipping. Eat Amazon’s lunch and allow every farmer and manufacturer ship direct to consumer without having to setup their own logistics operation. That’ll also undercut Big Grocer’s dominance bringing lower prices. Platforms like Amazon carry tremendous efficiencies but they should be run as national common infrastructure, not for profit.

Does the article link to a proposal from CUPW that includes some similar stuff? I really like the idea of postal banking for rural areas. And acting as an ISP.

Edit: rewrite as a question.

Canada Post warehouses sound amazing. It’s the one thing that’s making it hard for everyone to switch away from Amazon as a marketplace.
