Canada Post is preparing to convert an additional 485,000 homes across Canada from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes in 2027, as part of the Crown corporation’s attempt to modernize and return to financial self-sustainability.
If it really is much cheaper to have community mailboxes, then they should convert everyone in Canada to them. I’ve only ever had a community mailbox and it is a perfectly reasonable way for me to get my mail.
People shouldn’t be guaranteed home delivery because of their address.
There should be community mailboxes as a standard and then if you have a mobility issue you apply for home delivery.
At the moment there are many people who aren’t impaired that get home delivery who don’t really need it and cost tax payers more money. Those resources should be directed to those that need it on a case by case basis.

No, mobility impaired and elderly people should be able to continue getting their mail to their door.
This is a service that should be reliable and accessible for everyone. Cost savings aren’t more valuable than that.

Why “should” other than cost?
