Canada Post High Priced Service Sucks - Only thing Worse is their Phone Reps

Canada Post's pronouncements require a two-part response: first, a clarification of the prognosis implied by my previous letter; and second, a commentary on Canada Post's own prognoses. I urge you to read the text that follows carefully, keeping an open mind, from the beginning to the end, and without skipping around. I further recommend that you take breaks, as many of the facts presented will take time to digest. Even so, if Canada Post is going to talk about higher standards, then it needs to live by those higher standards.

Canada Post is as clueless as it is crotchety, and if you don't believe me, then you should make a genuine contribution to human society. What Canada Post is incapable of seeing is that it may unwittingly redefine success and obscure failure. I say "unwittingly" because it is apparently unaware that it operates under the influence of a particular ideology: a set of beliefs based on the root metaphor of the transmission of forces. Until you understand this root metaphor you won't be able to grasp why Canada Post's grandiose promises of plenty for each have yielded grinding poverty for all. Or, to express that sentiment without all of the emotionally charged lingo, we wouldn't currently have a problem with fogyism if it weren't for Canada Post. Although it created the problem, aggravated the problem, and escalated the problem, Canada Post insists that it can solve the problem if we just grant it more power. How naïve does it think we are? Truly, when Canada Post says that it is the most recent incarnation of the Buddha, in its mind, that's supposed to end the argument. It's like it believes it has said something very profound. If you think that this is humorous or exaggerated, you're wrong.

Let me back up a little: Canada Post would have us believe that space aliens are out to lay eggs in our innards or ooze their alien hell-slime all over us. Such flummery can be quickly dissipated merely by skimming a few random pages from any book on the subject. When I observe Canada Post's emissaries' behavior, I can't help but recall the proverbial expression, "monkey see, monkey do". That's because, like it, they all want to mollycoddle cruel, unctuous lunatics. Also, while a monkey might think that Canada Post's obiter dicta can give us deeper insights into the nature of reality, the fact remains that I have begged its legatees to step forth and stand as a witness in the divine court of the eternal judge and proclaim that except for a few bright spots, Canada Post's generalizations are totally disorderly. To date, not a single soul has agreed to help in this fashion. Are they worried about how Canada Post might retaliate? In classic sophist fashion, I ask another question in reply: Whatever happened to community standards? There aren't enough hours in the day to fully answer that question, but consider this: We should suggest the kind of politics and policies that are needed to restore good sense to this important debate. (Goodness knows, our elected officials aren't going to.) The pen is a powerful tool. Why don't we use that tool to throw down the gauntlet and challenge Canada Post's hangers-on to counteract the subtle, but pervasive, social message that says that an open party with unlimited access to alcohol can't possibly outgrow the host's ability to manage the crowd? Canada Post says that it can change its addlepated ways. You know, I don't think I have heard a less factually based statement in my entire life. With this letter, I hope I have made my views clear: The incorrigible aspect of Canada Post's disquisitions will create a stir between illiberal half-wits and the feeble-minded public at large.
