      From: brewnoserii@gmail.com               These are just the kinds of supporters of the Harper government that will       assist in his demise. HE has tried to stay away from the abortion issue,       because he knows how the vast majority of Canadians feel about it. But his       rabid supporters are not so        smart . . .       __________________________       -- The Canadian Press -- Aug 5 2015              Saskatoon posties told to deliver anti-abortion flyers that target Trudeau:       CUPW              SASKATOON -- The union that represents letter carriers in Saskatoon says its       members have been ordered by Canada Post to deliver a graphic anti-abortion       flyer that targets Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.              Julee Sanderson, president of Canadian Union of Postal Workers Local 824, said       some letter carriers are upset about the flyer and have balked at delivering       them.              "There are carriers who are certainly concerned about the violent, graphic       material that they are delivering and they are concerned about who in the home       is going to be receiving that," she said Wednesday.              "CUPW supports our members who feel they have a legitimate concern that a       corporation like Canada Post should work to preserve family values."              Sanderson said the flyer from a group called the Canadian Centre for       Bio-Ethical Reform is in a white envelope that says "Important Election       Information Enclosed."              The flyer itself includes a picture of an aborted fetus and of Trudeau.              It includes a statement that says Trudeau supports abortion until birth and "a       vote for Justin Trudeau is a vote for this," referring to the picture.              Sanderson said Canada Post has told the union that the corporation is not       responsible for the content of mail and is legally obligated to deliver the       flyers.              The envelopes are to be delivered throughout much of the city later this week.              "We are responsible for the physical delivery of all mail in Canada. We do       not have the legal right to refuse delivery of a mail item because we or other       people object to its content," Matt Ziebarth, a Canada Post manager, told the       union in an email.              "Anyone who has concerns about the content should either contact the publisher       or simply dispose of it."              Canada Post responed to a request for comment with a similar statement. The       company did not answer questions about whether it has a policy on what it will       or will not deliver as flyers.              Sanderson said letter carriers who refuse to deliver the flyer could face       disciplinary action from Canada Post.              The Conservatives have dominated Saskatchewan in recent federal elections.        The party won 13 of 14 seats in 2011. But with redrawn electoral boundaries,       observers have suggested a handful of those seats could be in play in the       upcoming vote.       ______________________________              Kiss your votes goodbye in Saskatoon, Harper.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
