This article in the National Post describes how UPS is sueing Canada Post for unfair competition because they use their postal monopoly to subsidize their courier services. Not sure how this would affect me if they [UPS] won, but I do know there is some regulation that forbids couriers from charging less than 4X the postage rate, which works out to somewhere around $2.00. I can just imagine how the hyper-competetive courier business would react if this regulation wasn't in effect, we would probably see prices drop and hence make less money. Maybe I'm just a pessimist. As long as we don't have to wear those dreary brown uniforms UPS couriers wear. Yuck!
