      This will probably lead to less jobs and more layoffs but will be better in the long run for CPC

      At this point might as well get rid of it as a public service and let it be privatized.

      how does this work? if i don’t get a letter delivered to my home, how will i know someone sent me a letter? Would they deliver me a letter telling me they have a letter to be delivered?

      I haven’t lived somewhere with home delivery since the mid ’00s, and that includes several single family houses with community mailboxes as well as condos and apartments.

      The only thing I care about getting handed right to my porch are packages, and that will continue. I could care less about porch delivery of the Canadian Tire flyers, realtor mailers and other assorted junk mail, plus the paper copies of credit card statements I’ve long since turned off from my bank but get regardless. 

      As long as there are special case exemptions, then let’s go.

      Now imagine all the money saved if we had just decided to do this all that time ago like Harper wanted

      There’s this brilliant feature on the Canada Post app that once you ID verify, it’ll tell you what lettermail is coming to your home address. Sounds great, doesn’t it?

      …

      – Canadian Tire Corporation
      – Pizza Hut
      – RADDAR (bundled junk mail)
      – General mail, sender information unavailable.

      Pretty much sums up how Canada Post can’t get anything right.

      I currently have rural home delivery. Doesn’t bother me a bit.

      I receive very little of import by mail nowadays.

      Most businesses already switched to ups and fedex. Canada post needs a complete overhaul

      Ive already solved it. Just do 2 or 3 day home delivery. No resident needs 5 day a week mail delivery

      I am in Sask and have had community mailboxes for a good 7+ years now.Ok in the summer,sucks in the winter.

      what!!? . I have to walk to a community box to get my A&W coupons now!!! WTF!!! /s

      While I realise I’m an exception, I don’t have home delivery or a traditional ‚community mailbox‘ – my whole town has PO boxes at the post office. It’s no big deal to head over there once a week to grab whatever’s there. It’s secure, relatively convenient, and the staff are awesome (they do community fundraising and bake sales all the time). The concept of home delivery is antisocial and weird to me at this point.

      They tried to do this around 10 years ago and a very vocal minority and the opposition government bitched and moaned so much they canceled it. How much would CP saved had they actually been able to implement it.

      I’ve never had home mail delivery in my life. Not a big deal going to the Post Office every few days.

    19. LindensBloodyJersey on

      Glad i decided not to get a job there last year! Bunch of flakes

      Hope it reduces delivery prices because it’s ridiculous sending packages cross country by going through the US post system is the cheapest option.

    21. Bearspaws100 on

      They’ve not delivered anything to my home in years besides putting the notices on my door. Won’t notice any difference in that regard.

    23. Nonamanadus on

      I always had to drive or walk for the mail, it didn’t kill me.

      Some people have too great of a sense of entitlement.

    24. Brandon_Me on

      I know people here cheer for the downfall of Canada post, but it’s going to be incredibly expensive for Canadians far and wide if Canada post goes away. Far more expensive than even subsidizing them would have been.

    25. Tyrocious on

      My current address is the first place with home delivery I’ve *ever* lived in. Sure, community mailboxes are less convenient, but I so rarely get mail I actually care about that it doesn’t make much of a difference.

    27. AlpineDad on

      i have had a super mailbox for over 30-years. it always annoyed me that some people had home delivery while i always had to drive to my mailbox. and now it does not matter as everything is digital or is delivered by a courier that actually goes to my house.

    28. antigenx on

      I was upset about it the first time around during the Harper gov’t, then Trudeau canceled it, but for me it was already too late, my neighbourhood had already converted to a neighbourhood box. I’ve come to live with it, it’s not so bad. I do think it sucks for seniors and folks with mobility issues though. If it helps mail carriers be more efficient, then that’s a good thing, right?

    29. StickmansamV on

      Home delivery has to go end. I’ve lived with community mailboxes and new builds for several decades have all been community mailboxes already. It’s time that the legacy residential areas also shift to the cost saving community mailboxes. Makes no sense to have different services sometimes just across the street from each other.

      I think the more concerning part for most people is the post offices they’re going to shut down – it says the number to be shut down wasn’t shared by Canada Post. Hopefully not too many.

      Good, they’re bleeding money. I’m sure we can manage to get to the community mailbox once a month. Most of their job is delivering completely useless flyers 9-5. 9 times out of 10 when they actually do have a package to deliver, they don’t try to deliver it anyways. They’ll just leave a note “sorry we missed you, come pick this up” without even bothering to knock on your door. Maybe they can give up with the flyers and focus on parcels.

      And if you still rely on mail for bills… that’s kind of on you. You’ve had 20 years to learn how to use the internet.

      My community mailbox has always been close by anyway. Heck, I can see it from my living room right now.

      I know not everyone is that lucky, but I can honestly barely remember what its even like getting mail to your front door anymore.
