On Friday, the federal government plans to provide a $1 billion repayable loan to Canada Post, a measure that will help the country’s biggest courier keep the lights on. This week’s inquiry will examine the viability of the postal service’s business model, as Canada Post would likely run out of cash by July if they didn’t receive this helping hand. Among a slew of other factors, they have also struggled to compete with privately-owned delivery companies. So with all of this in mind, how can Canada Post survive this tidal wave? Should it be privatized or should we sell it? Kristy Cameron sifts through the textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, the province says it has a plan to connect every Ontarian with a family doctor or a primary care team. This would be accomplished within a four-year span, and it also includes another $1.4 billion in new funding. We gather instant reaction from Dr. Dominik Nowak, who is the President of the Ontario Medical Association.
