@kevinbowrin Tourism?? The spending that brings in more money to the economy?

@kevinbowrin um, what's this? #CanadaPost #CanPoli

@Centretowner @kevinbowrin As a crown corporation, Canada Post is meant to break even. I guess Carney is pulling their entire safety net away and they’re going to have to come up with $2 BILLION in revenue (or service cuts). Wild. #cdnPoli

@misty @kevinbowrin fisheries and oceans got big cuts too. I guess we don't need fish stocks and healthy oceans....

@samnabi @Centretowner @kevinbowrin No doubt they will be expected to fix their budget issues without expanding services into, say, Postal Banking. We can't have "unfair" competition for big banks that have been abandoning small communities for decades, after all.
