ROGER WORTH The Canadian Fed- eration of Independent Business is upset about a decision by the government-owned Ca- nada Post to get into the retail business. With 64,000 members operat- ing small and medium- sized enterprises, more than a third of them re- tailoutlets, there's little wonder the organiza- tion is complaining. 'In a vote on the issue, almost 90 per cent of our members were opposed to such a pie ."' says the CFIB's ecutive Director, Le- Affairs, Jim In its Canada Post has set up catalogue kiosks for con- sumer goods, in co- operation with retailer Consumers Distribut- ing, at eight postal sta- tions, although the plan may eventually include all 8,000 postal of- fices. Canada Post expects to earn extra revenue from the retail system, in addition to the fees it charges for delivering the product. On the surface it may seem a reasonable plan. The problem, of course, is that it creates unfair competition for re- tailers and particularly smaller merchants who have invested heavily to service a local market. Here's why Canada Post's President Michael Warren should not be proud of this new "venture."' e Canadian taxpay- ers, including small re- tailers, subsidize Cana- da Post to the tune of $300-million per year for what is, many times, lacklustre service. In layman's terms, that's an average $30 per year direct cost for every worker in the country. e That means tax- payers will directly sub- sidize the new retail op- eration through the $25,000 per year sala- ties paid to the posties, as well as time spent by executives such as Warren, who earn an estimated $119 per hour © The subsidized post- al mises were paid. for by the Canadian pub- lic. Now these buildings are being used by Con- sumers Distributing, at cut-rate costs, to com- pete with private sector firms that built retail businesses with no pub- lic support. In fact, un- like Canada Post, these retail firms are heavily taxed on their invest- ments. For Consumers Distri- buting, of course, all this is one sweet deal. That company wins the advantage of using tax- yer financed build- and employees to compete with ordinary retailers. This is not the first time Canada Post has intruded into the private sector. In an earlier move, the giant Crown corporation incorporated a system designed to create advertising com- " petition for the media, including weekly news- papers, again using sub- sidized postal workers to handle the job. Yet, while Warren is directing these unfair and questionable for- ays into the private sector, Canada Post is losing $300-million per year with a single letter rate of 32 cents, while the United States sys- tem is profitable with a 25-cent (Canadian) rate. Canada Post says its eight-location retail op- eration is a 90-day ex- periment. That's good news. It means the post- ies can, and _ should, quietly close up retail shop at the end of the period and go back to running the basic deli- very service. Then tax- payers won't be unfair- ly subsidizing one retail- er at the expense of an- other. _ action Allan OR Action Realty Group Inc. 402 Memorial Ave. 345-6171 ® .* construction, Asking 78,500.00 SCHREIBER: Two year old custo of built-ins four bedrooms, two bath- rooms, dining room, large sundeck, 2 x 6 hillside panoramic view, a must to see. m built bi-level, lots " lot with a Lynette Gauthier and Ryan Singleton - Bronze in both Pre-Novice Pairs and Novice Dance; Nicole Gauthier - Silver in Juvenile Ladies; Edith Figliomeni - Silver in Pre-Juvenile Ladies '*A"; Tara Halonen- Bronze in Pre-Juvenile Ladies "A"; and Ta- mara McParland - Gold in Pre-Novice Ladies '6 'Ae?
