Canada Post paints bleak financial picture, hints at big job cuts | CBC News
At its annual public meeting Tuesday, Canada Post revealed that it continues to bleed cash and hinted at big job cuts through attrition.

I have an idea for Canada Post…
It should be trimmed like an apple tree. Start by cutting the upper branch layers so that the apples are still harvestable. The executive management and their decisions have driven CP into the ground with their anti-employee attitude. 1/2

After I was cut from the team, I worked overtime for six years because I was determined to win a gold medal for my country. I'm campaigning just like I played basketball: by outworking everyone. It's time we had someone in the Senate who fights for all Iowans.

Four of Trump's five children have an immigrant mother, and the one who doesn't is married to the son of two immigrants.
Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
