Canada Post tabled an offer Friday that included many terms from its previous “final offers” in May, but removed a signing bonus and added provisions related to expected job cuts. The federal government announced plans last week to transform Canada Post, including ending daily mail delivery, closing some rural post offices and moving most homes to community mailboxes.
