They did that to me close to 20 years ago, and a lot of other people
obviously. Some of them have to drive 10 miles to get their mail.
I'm lucky since the box for here is only about a mile distant so I
can easily jog or bicycle out to check for mail.

In recent years I've been thinking Canada Post should concentrate more
on having a reliable courier service at reasonable prices and maybe
cut back on regular mail deliveries to 3 days a week or something.

There is so little reliance on regular mail these days I figure
3 days a week wouldn't hurt too many people that much..

As far as actual addressed mail goes, I probably only get about
one letter every 3 weeks or so most of the time. That goes up a
bit at Tax time since a lot of places still mail out hard copies
of Tax documents, plus I do my taxes on paper, not online..

But of course the Canada Post union (CUPW) not only doesn't want
to see any layoffs, they actually want them to hire More people
in a business losing around $3 Million a day...
