I would be inclined to agree that the generation of more revenue is actually one of the keys. I'm a lifelong resident of the city of Calgary. I have lived through four separate boom-and-bust cycles in the oil patch. One of the most devastating aspects, something I believe the oil patch finally learned from in 1982, was that you can cut only so far. When you cut, you lose your talent; you lose your initiative; and you lose your ability to provide your core services.
I'm afraid that's the direction Canada Post is heading in. It seems focused on cut, cut, cut, which eventually eviscerates or completely guts the value and the ability of the post office to do its job. That's why I would tend to focus on the identification and generation of new sources of revenue, such as postal banking.
