For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.
This community is not managed by NDP staff.

Home delivery is an inefficient lurxury service for ever fewer people, and postal service requires no coordintion it's entirely federal.
And yes, there should be more trains, everywhere in Canada.
There are very few letters being delivered, but people are ordering many more packages.
I think that each region needs to figure out what is efficient for it. In Toronto the governments have done a really poor job with subways. Each station should have a post-office station so as you ride public transit, you can pick-up your package. The subway should go to airport where packages could just be loaded onto trains and delivered to the subway stations. Places like Japan fund their public transit with commercial leases inside subway stations, something that Toronto doesn't do.
I could also see a, LCBO/Post Office/Service Ontario/Library, combination being a good thing.
The problem is that we really aren't imaginative or have a government ambitious enough to get things done properly. It's infighting between all our governments (municipal/provincial/federal) and our Crown Corporations.
