BOYCOTT UPS, SHIT ON THE GOV'T

apparently, this isn't exactly today's papers - it's been going on since 2002 - but UPS is suing the canadian gov't under NAFTA's chapter 11 provisions. they feel that because canada post uses the same facilities for both its letter and parcel courier services, this creates an unfair subsidy for canada post and thus hurts the business of UPS.

linda mcquaig echoes my sentiments on this matter beautifully.it's a goddamn cash grab and it's going to cost you and me some tax money. now, i don't think the gov't should get off so easy. it was mulroney who approved this provision, but the neither the chretien nor martin gov'ts have repealed this ridiculous act of compliance with free trade lobbyists.

vote green and none of this shit would happen.
