Me: How long to mail this package from <X> to <Y>?

Canada Post: I can help you with that! Let's see ... 3 days.

Me: 3 days? That's not too bad, even if I could drive there in 16 hours. Maybe 14 if I pushed it.

Canada Post: Oh, no, no need to drive! We can definitely deliver it in 4-5 days.

Me: 4-5 days? What happened to 3?

Canada Post: Don't worry about it! Once you give us the package, the recipient will have it inside of 7 days.

Me: What's going on here?

Canada Post: Two weeks, tops.

📫 Oof. I lived in rural Canada for almost 20 years and there were “community mailboxes” everywhere. It sounds like an easy thing, but the reality is that a lot of them were in tiny turnouts on roads or just literally by the side of the road. It’s hard to get your car off the road when there’s many people picking up their mail, which there always is, and cars whizzing by fragile human bodies in winter and rain is bad, too.

And the people who can’t get to a community mailbox due to illness or mobility issues are totally left out.

I get that #CanadaPost is broke but wholesale community mailboxes across the board is not the answer.

Should Canada Post make money? NDP’s new leader Avi Lewis doesn’t think so

NDP leader Avi Lewis is stirring debate after arguing Canada Post should be treated like an essential public service rather than a profit-driven corporation — just as the agency posts billions in losses and growing pressure over its future.
