Stop the Cuts to Our Postal Service
- by: NDP
- recipient: Prime Minister Harper
You can’t save a business by cutting service and raising prices.
But that’s exactly what Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have planned for Canada Post. While they can find millions for their well-connected friends, they can’t seem to find a way to keep the mail coming to your door.
That’s right: Canada Post wants to eliminate home delivery for millions of customers, slash rural postal hours and put thousands of employees out of work. And they want you to pay a lot more — $1 for every stamp.
Canadians deserve better. Our postal service helps connect us. And these cuts will unfairly impact the most vulnerable — including seniors and people with disabilities.
Together, let’s send Stephen Harper a message he can’t ignore.
Dear Prime Minister Harper,
We the undersigned residents of Canada recognize the following:
- Canada Post is a vital communications link that helps connect the country.
- Eliminating home delivery for millions of urban customers and slashing rural hours will unfairly impact seniors and people with disabilities.
- These planned cuts will mean the loss of up to 8,000 good-paying jobs.
- Drastically increasing postal rates will make life even more expensive for cash-strapped families, small businesses and charitable organizations.

Therefore, we call on the Government of Canada to stop these devastating cuts to our postal service.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
