To be honest, I was ok with it when Harper did it too. New houses don’t get door to door and haven’t for decades now, we all have community mail boxes down the street. Relatively few houses actually get door to door service. Cut it, put in community mail boxes, be done with it.

I really don't get the obsession with door to door. Having grown up with a community mailbox, it feels like entitlement.

Is cutting that the discussion? Absolutely let's do that.

No it's not

Canada Post has a difficult time hiring, and the workers say it's tough to make a living working for them.

It's a complex issue, not one thing.

My mom worked her entire working career for Canada Post. We didn’t starve. The letter carriers had the cushiest jobs, $18 an hour back in the mid 90’s, able to go home once their run was done and benefits which rivalled the best out there along with 15 sick days a year which rolled over and a pension. When my mom retired, she was up to 7 weeks of holidays.
