    I didn’t downvote you, but by quoting without an addition comment, your comment seems like it agrees with what Canada Post said.

    If you included your “for an actual answer” self-reply as part of your original comment, you likely wouldn’t’ve been down-voted in the same way.

      Fair point, I just assumed that the excerpt I chose was clearly evil enough no one would mistake the top level comment for support.

        The problem is that from a significant portion of online and in person commentary it seems people do take corporate press releases at face value. I’m a union worker myself and even some of my own coworkers fall into that trap, although fortunately they snap out of it when I remind them of the garbage our employer has tried to feed the public.

        Canada Post wouldn’t say those things out loud if they expected that most people would see it as “clearly evil”. Sadly I think their expectations aren’t completely wrong in this respect 😒
