What do people think of Jean-Claude Parrot and his "Xmas present"
of allowing 10-cent letters mailed next week? The government has
applied to the Canada Labour Relations Board to have this declared
an illegal strike. I think they're right.

Parrot claims he's just trying to "give Canadians a break", since
businesses can get special rates for mass mailings. I have to give
him credit for ingenuity, but I hope the courts come down hard on
him for this one.

How would people react if Eaton's store clerks decided that they
would offer unauthorized 70% discounts on all merchandise?
Sounds like stealing to me.
