The Federal government needs to change their mandate. Delivering to ALL addresses in Canada is not profitable for anybody
It's a service. It's not supposed to be profitable.
That's the problem. They want Canada Post to break even or be profitable. It should be a service like the military and DFO.
"The federal government needs to change their mandate, defending rural areas isn't profitable so we should scale back the military"
"The provincial government needs to change their mandate, providing healthcare to old people isn't profitable so we should scale back hospitals and just let them fend for themselves"
Profitable? Why is that a consideration?
There are already areas where you pick-up at the post office (nearby) and super mail boxes already mean a huge fraction of delivery is no longer door-to-door.
We do not need to reduce coverage more than we have. Postal service is essential.
I think it is viable to ask about frequency. So no thing like 3 days a week works just as well for what postal service is used for in this day and age while costing quite a bit less.
