‘Postal workers form a network that delivers more than mail. It delivers essential services, opportunity, and trust, reaching remote areas, connecting villages and cities, bridging the rural-urban divide, and creating a world that is within everyone’s reach.”’

‘Also like Canada Post, Postnord has experienced a massive decline in its mail delivery business. In fact, the Danish division ended mail delivery entirely, which was admittedly unpopular with the postal workers’ union. At the same time, Postnord remains profitable while providing secure union jobs with solid pay and benefits. How does it manage that?” ‘https://www.ipolitics.ca/2025/10/03/progressive-left-outlets-mull-over-canada-post-moment-of-reckoning-new-democrat-leadership-race/

Here's an idea:
Nationalize Amazon and Intelcom, merge that with Postes Canada, and combine it with that idea of doing a social check on isolated folks. Now that would be a plan!!

But no way these business guys will ever do that. They are too happy to cut public services to privatize more and more!

This is why we can't have nice things!

I like the proposition to combine post delivery workers with social work to check if old citizens are ok. Like a front line of health and social workers!

But really, with the number of Amazon deliveries, don't tell me that delivering mail directly to our door everyday isn't doable!

“Their desire to avoid competing with a public bank may explain why postal banking wasn’t developed fully in Canada as it has been elsewhere, such as the U.K., New Zealand, Germany, Switzerland and France, where the Banque Postale is ranked one of the world’s top 50 safest banks.” By Linda McQuaig 2016

Linda McQuaig: Postal banking an investment worth delivering: McQuaig

Restoring postal banking is a great idea because it brings branches to all corners of the country and give hugely profitable big banks some needed competition.

“While home deliveries could be phased out, the corporation's delivery accommodation program, which allows people with mobility issues to arrange for weekly home delivery or other accessibility options, will remain in effect, the government official said.
Still, there's concern some vulnerable Canadians, such as seniors, might feel the changes more deeply. “https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canada-post-reaction-1.7643710

Canada Post employees better take the deal. The company is losing money and others in Canada are not even getting raises right now. Be thankful for the job you have. The company made you a stronger offer than most Canadians think you should get. We don't need home delivery you know! Id be happy with a box at a depot. Most of you can go if that happens so think wisely folks. No support from the public here.
