The government of Canada has a number of financial disasters on its hands. Some are ongoing like the CBC that sucks up $1.3 billion a year in taxpayers money. Another is Canada Post as between 2018 and 2023 it has lost $3 billion. In the first six months of 2024 CP has reportedly lost $464 million. The Corporation has current loans and borrowings of $1 billion, of which $500 million is due for repayment in July 2025. At least $1 billion in new borrowings or other liquidity measures are required for 2025, including refinancing $500 million in existing debt.
