Canada Post workers face a devastating attack on public service as the government secretly implements massive cuts without consultation. These changes gut door-to-door delivery for 4 million addresses, eliminate rural post office protections and slash delivery standards — all while ignoring customer demands for parcel delivery to the door. The government completely rejected revenue diversification, choosing job-killing cuts over expanding services that could actually save the postal system.
Canada Post desperately needs these reforms to survive its existential crisis, as it loses $10 million daily with letter volume plummeting from 5.5 billion to 2 billion over the past two decades. Converting to community mailboxes will save $400 million annually, while 77% of Canadians already use them successfully. Without these changes, taxpayers will face endless billion-dollar bailouts for a service that has become financially obsolete in the digital age.
