I don't really care that much about home delivery, but this was one of Harper's steamrolling plans that caught people off guard and didn't seam well researched. It seamed rife with shoddy dealing s and ridiculous explanations "seniors will get more exercise!" that has me questioning the motives more than anything. If Trudeau wants them to take a step back and re-examine, I don't have a problem with that.
Except for the fact that Trudeau is only wasting our tax dollars to stop it and will have to waste even more tax dollars to roll it back or to re-start it. So, great. The one thing Trudeau has actually done so far is a huge, pointless waste. If that is going to be his modus operandi, then we're in trouble.

Also, you do realize that only a small minority of this country gets home delivery as it is, right? That is the exception, not the norm, and cutting out a wasteful, antiquated process that only costs us money is not a "steamrolling plan" or "not well researched".
