It’s nice to see that we no longer trust privatization as a the magic wand that solves public institution problems.
That said I think the 52% support for non-union gig work in Canada Post is indicative of the mindset that needs shifting if Canada is to change course in a way that makes most people better off long term.

Fuck that biased title…
What do you mean?
You could have written 47% opposed privatizing some of Canada Post, the larger percentage of that group. By choosing the smaller opinion group, you make it seem like the support for privatizing some of our public service is actually the more popular opinion, when it is not.
If I saw “47% opposed privatization”, I’d be here complaining that the title is trying to make people think that the majority (53%) support privatization.
Then perhaps we all agree that quoting stats without the whole context present is misleading.
Yeah, maybe something like “Poll results on privatization of Canada Post”.
I invite everyone to post more (poll) articles with better titles so we can all be more informed and engaged. ☺️
Interesting. I specifically wanted to highlight the worst case scenario - that the people who support privatization are just 38%. To me that’s the really important bit. But you do you.
