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.

I'll tell you exactly why the NDP would support it. Because the NDP supports labour.

It's an inefficient luxury service

It's a level of service that used to be bog-standard. Fighting for service cuts to avoid paying a couple extra bucks on the tax bill, and opening the door for extremely shitty and exploitative private entities to pick up the slack – that's pretty much the boomer legacy in a nutshell.

To be clear, I don't have an issue with community mailboxes. It's the political context that makes this worth arguing about.
