On one hand, government postage services should be seen as a service rather than a for profit organization especially when they’re on the hook to deliver to places nobody else will.
On the other hand, it’s past time to recognize that the timely delivery of a handwritten note from one person to the next within the week is not part of the requirement of the service anymore arguably since the advent of the telephone and certainly today in the world of email, messaging, and voip.
The service should be preserved but perhaps the daily door to door service could be cut. I say this as someone who insists on paper bills.

So, and hear me out, maybe let's make a crown corp cell/landline/fibre provider under the Canada Post umbrella so Canadians can get affordable access to modern services that have now replaced the relevance of what mail used to be.

also someone who pays a few of their bills by mail here.
i would live to have one or two mail days per week instead of every day. i could drop my outgoing mail off at a post office if i need something to be postmarked on a specific day. the only thing i reliably receive in tge mail every day is trash; bills only come in a few times a month.

I live and die with paper bills. If it doesn’t get into my physical inbox, it’ll never get paid.
But I’d be perfectly happy with weekly delivery too!

I wonder how much cost savings will come from community boxes?
