Canadians held hostage by mai: strike Canadians have been held hostage for too long by the effective monopoly which the post office has on the delivery of letters in Canada. Believe it or not, the law says that you must charge more than three times as much as the post office to deliver letters. If you charge less than that you commit a crime which could result in imprisonment for five 'years! In addition, through assault, vandalism, threats and harassment by picketers, unions have an effective monopoly on the supply of labour to the post office. The result of this "double monopoly" is that the country is being held to ransom by the postal unions and there is no alternative to which Canadians ean turn. Instead, we're amworomoomi•••••••••e-smat eas. LETTERS, TO TI -IE. EDITOR. forced to put up with strikes, disruptions, high prices and inefficiency in our postal service. Many small and new businesses have been pushed to the brink of bankrupt- cy. Billions of dollars have been lost to the economy. That's why we're urging Canadians to ask Prime Minister Mulroney to end the post of- fice monopoly. If Canada Post were exposed to the discipline of free enterprise competi- tion, the change would be revolutionary. The time for tinkering with the post office mess has passed. Papering over the cracks in the system will only invite further trouble. We say, "Stamp out the post office monopoly and allow free competition." The time has come for fundamental change - and political courage.
