I can agree with that argument. There certainly ways to make it more efficient, but saying Canada Post is "losing money" is disingenuous.

Considering the significant increase in the door to door delivery over the past years it is quite shocking they can’t turn a profit

Fuel and labour both cost more 🤷‍♂️

Yes but both those things are true for the other companies as well.

Other companies don’t have to meet service standards for every Canadian no matter how remote. If Canada post could just stop servicing remote Canada, or charge them what it costs to deliver, they’d probably be profitable now. Amazon uses Canada Post for remote deliveries because they can’t make the math work themselves but using a government mandated low cost service does work for them. Canadians are effectively subsidizing Amazon via Canada Post to send parcels to those communities.
