Canada Post wants the federal government to consider changing the legislation that requires it to deliver letter mail daily— a mandate the Crown corporation says no longer reflects modern realities and is causing it to lose money.

“If you have a community mailbox, a lot of people check it once or twice a week,” said Jon Hamilton, vice-president of communications at Canada Post.

“We need to work with government to ensure the regulatory framework aligns with today’s needs.”

The postal charter, which dictates how frequently Canada Post delivers mail, hasn’t undergone any significant changes since it was created in 2009, Hamilton said.

The Canada Post Union seems really intent on destroying fucking mail service in Canada… they seem lazy and entitled and they go on strike constantly… they get everything they want from the government then they still have stuff to complain about… and yet Canada Post is a pile of crap… I can’t remember the last time they actually delivered to my goddamn door instead of sending one of those stupid little paper thingies because they’re lazy. Now they don’t want to deliver mail at all? What the fuck is the point of having Canada Post if all they do is sit around not delivering mail?

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

I’ve had almost universally positive experiences with Canada Post at the two addresses I’ve lived. 🥹

I’ve lived in three provinces and have been writing letters to my mom since I was a child I know all about Canada Post and how shitty they are I’ve had over 30 years of experience with them. But look at the Canada group down voting me into Oblivion yet again for an opinion. hilarious
