  5. Me: How long to mail this package from <X> to <Y>?

    Canada Post: I can help you with that! Let's see ... 3 days.

    Me: 3 days? That's not too bad, even if I could drive there in 16 hours. Maybe 14 if I pushed it.

    Canada Post: Oh, no, no need to drive! We can definitely deliver it in 4-5 days.

    Me: 4-5 days? What happened to 3?

    Canada Post: Don't worry about it! Once you give us the package, the recipient will have it inside of 7 days.

    Me: What's going on here?

    Canada Post: Two weeks, tops.

  11. Should Canada Post make money? NDP’s new leader Avi Lewis doesn’t think so

    NDP leader Avi Lewis is stirring debate after arguing Canada Post should be treated like an essential public service rather than a profit-driven corporation — just as the agency posts billions in losses and growing pressure over its future.

  12. Canada Post is getting ready to implement sweeping service changes that will close rural post offices and change delivery standards. Affordable postal mail services are a public good that should be maintained. Concerned? Support CUPW cupw.ca/en/campaigns-and-issue

    When the news about the decline of letters is all you ever hear, it is nice to be a part of a global community committed to keeping it alive.

    Not sure why she'd say don't use the post. They were in a labour disruption so deliveries were uncertain, but they've got a tentative deal and they're all back at work. If you send it air/first class/whatever the UK post calls it, it should be relatively quick and reliable. If what you're sending would attract any duty / excise / taxes, Canada Post also imposes the lowest fees for clearing customs. That might not affect you, if it's a gift of low value.

    DHL is "meh". FedEx is quick and reliable, and expensive. UPS is cheaper, fairly reliable, and tries not to run over packages with its trucks more than a third of the time, max. [1] Both impose fairly high customs and brokerage charges unless you use their most expensive options which include them IIRC.

    [1] I literally had two deliveries in a row squashed flat with obvious big-truck tire tracks across them.

    "Cannnnada Posssst is so old we use the internet now.... " and Amazon, and Purolater, and DHL, and FedEx and Walmart.

    And WE own Canada Post, not a billionaire, not an American, and its DESIGNED to serve Canadians.

    EXPAND CANADA POST.

    STOP giving our stuff to BILLIONAIRS.

  25. I like the proposition to combine post delivery workers with social work to check if old citizens are ok. Like a front line of health and social workers!

    But really, with the number of Amazon deliveries, don't tell me that delivering mail directly to our door everyday isn't doable!
