Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t see that as a valid justification for raising prices. True, letter deliveries are down. But it’s not like Canada Post is lacking business through parcel delivery. Why can’t they combine the 2? Or have one subsidize the other.
Why does someone who doesn’t have access to my apartment building mailbox come drop amazon packages in the lobby, instead of a canada post worker who can leave it in a drop box in the mail room and put the key in my mailbox?
Problem is that the prices were originally arranged to that first-class lettermail subsidized the rest of the services. Then the amount of lettermail tanked, and the pricing structure never quite straightened itself out afterwards. Someone has to sit down and rethink it from scratch, and so far no one’s been willing to do that.
We still need the postal service, though—it serves smaller and remote communities that the couriers would prefer not to deal with.
conservatives hate things the poors can get value from
they decided canada post was a business that had to turn a profit, like the Americans did
now the books have to balance, because that’s how governments fund things with no taxes is by increased user fees so they’re more dramatically impacted by the ebb and flow of spending and thus die.
then the cons like PP get to laugh into their quiches at the struggles of the poors
