Federal Budget 2018: A kiss and a promise

And if they also hoped to expose the NDP’s weaknesses, they may have succeeded in revealing that the NDP…
Reverse the cuts to Canada Post – Restore and expand Door-to-Door
The Communist Party of Canada demands that the Liberal government live up to their promises made during the Federal election surrounding Canada Post and immediately restore door-to-door delivery service for the nearly one million households who have had this service cut.

Canada and the Fightback: 38th Central Convention, Main Political Report, Section two.
