So which is it? The cartoon above where nobody is using Canada Post and rather using the Internet, or the Conservatives "Canada Post is essential to the economy of the country and therefore we MUST force them back to work"?

I bet if you tallied the posts in this thread they'd be at least 60-75% "who cares". And if you look at the feds' reaction to this strike/lockout compared to the Air Canada strike, you can see what's more important. Air travel. Not mail.
DA, you're like a Canucks fan when it comes to anything union related. It doesn't matter how bloody stupid and useless and out of control a union is, you're there sticking up for them. It's practically a slam dunk to open a union thread and see you getting defensive about them like seeing cheese hating religion.
The cartoon is a pretty accurate satire of Canada's reaction to this strike. And that's all a cartoon can ever hope to be - relatively accurate. So why'd you even bring it up? You know it was a completely useless and pointless point, so why waste your breath, er, finger strokes? It's a cartoon. And it is pretty accurate to most people. This stupid strike has affected me absolutely not at all, and ditto for most people I know. A couple of people have a cheque or something moderately important stuck in the mail, but most people in Canada are just laughing at themselves every morning when they open the mailbox and thinking "me so stupid... They're on strike", not "Jesus f***, when's the strike gonna end?"
Give it up already. They're out to lunch, just like the idiots at GM and 90% of the rest of the unions in North America. They're only there because they're already there, and it's impossible to get rid of them. They're like pine beetle. Only way to get rid of them is to let them kill the forest and then let lightning strike and burn the remnants before a new forest grows.
