Canada Post considers eliminating daily mail deliveries
As Canada Post grapples with substantial losses, it is contemplating a significant revamp in the way Canadians receive their mail. As Tina Yazdani reports, one option on the table: bidding farewell to daily deliveries.

They are corrupt like Politicians, as Canada is a public sector economy, not a private sector. Canadian Politicians and CEO's pass down their wealth & status to their families and people of interest i.e., nepotism & favoritism. The 85% remaining Canadians get shafted.

Lacklustre journalism. Very common nowadays.
What this report fails to mention is that the corporation has spent multi millions upgrading their fleet and is planning an expansion at one of their biggest sortation facilities. If the volumes are down and they are reducing delivery, why the investment and expansion if there is no revenue? Corporate executives and managment continue to recieve bonuses while carriers are fighting for a decent living wage. Typical crown corporation propaganda.

Seniors better get used to it. I am a senior myself and I dont use Canada Post that much. Shrink the post office and cut the losses.
A standard negotiating tactic is to threaten jobs of workers. That is probably what this is. Mail is an essential service used by seniors (who will constitute 25% of our population soon) and rural areas that often have no chioce. Let's remember that Canada Post was once solely owned and delivered by the Government of Canada before it was a crown corporation. Perhaps the time has come for our government return to that function if Canada Post the crown corporation is unable to do the job.

It's funny how they always lose money when the contract is under negotiations. Very interesting. Maybe cut all the micro management positions and the ridiculous bonuses going to people who don't even work.

They haven’t done daily deliveries for ages anyway. Maybe officially they do but in reality mail only seems to show up at most twice a week.
This video resurfaces the philosophical argument for the federal government's retention of crown corporations (state-owned enterprises)- which typically exhibit the following characteristics: (1) Reduced consumer choice and domestic competition from private sector alternatives, while being shielded from market forces like bankruptcy and continue in operation despite poor economic results, with taxpayers and customers bear the costs of poor service (2) A lack of transparency in (and accountability for) operational performance, political nepotism and decision making, political interference in decision making and resource allocation, and (3) Collective bargaining arrangements with trade unions which often usurp management prerogatives to be nimble and flexible in adapting to changing market conditions, and in so doing breeding operational inefficiencies and a lack of innovation.
I’m mostly getting spam from them. Twice a week is good enough.
I am already getting mail only four days a week most weeks now. People won't use a service that is unreliable. I have a package, shipped via Canada Post that is already later arriving. Maybe providing better service instead of reducing service would help.
Always LESS EFFICIENCY from government!
My experience with Canada Post over many years has been very good. Mailed a cheque one afternoon and it was received early next morning! With most things being done on line, it is wasteful and costly for daily delivery. Bills are usually received 2-3 weeks before they are due, a day or two less leaves more than enough time. I now live in a rural area and still receive my many parcels on time or earlier than promised!
Half the town gets mail on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the other half delivered Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Problem solved.
Maybe they need to consider decreasing the CEO’s pay from over $600,00 per year. Or decreasing the upper managment pay from $122 per hour. They also should maybe include the new sorting facility that they just built for 1/2 a Billion dollars, the courier company they just purchesed, the facility being built at Vancouver airport or all the new fleet vehicles they purchased. And maybe they should not have given management a bonus on their last paycheck.

Cut $750 million from CBC and cover Canada Post.
Corporate lied about not being able to deliver packages before Christmas and lost business. Why do they deserve large bonuses they recently got. I bet that is the 780 million dollar debt.
People pay the bills online. Electronic billinge and payment will be the future. That is the reason why the amount of mail sent and delivered plummeted by 50%.
In a release from the canadian union of postal workers they stated that "We've been bargaining with CPC since November 2023. During our meetings, CUPW negotiators asked Canada Post directly if it had any plans or thoughts of implementing alternate-day delivery and their answer was a resounding no." This is nothing but a play to find out if canadians, under a ruse of losses (investments), are willing to cut back their postal services.
I m from europe(czech rep.) Before coming to Canada I used to work over 10 years for czech post as a delivery person. Same thing happened there. First tons of flyers instead of letters. Every postperson used to have 1 dedicated route. They changed that they got 2 routes. One day one route next day other route,so deluvery person was coming every second day. Now they changed that again. Now they have 3 routes,thats mean they show up every 3 days. My friends are goung crazy because remember and deal with 3000plus families,mailboxes..etc..and of course customers not happy as well if you are expecting something and its not coming

I work for Canada post as an on call mail delivery person. Haven’t gotten a call in nearly 3 months now. If they’re concerned about mail not being delivered; why am I not getting called for work!? Yes, the digital age where everything is digital has a hand in this, but there is still a lot of physical mail, letters, parcels, and packages, which gets delivered regardless of digital checks and bills. Meanwhile Amazon employees work 7 days a week. And their employee turnover rates are far higher than Canada Post.
No more junk mail
Aside from price controls over stamps for letters and parcels, there is no excuse for Canada Post's awful performance. Competitor parcel delivery companies like Amazon Logistics, DHL Express Canada, FedEx Canada and UPS Canada offer seven-day-a-week delivery nationally. I don't see rotating strikes by workers in their competitor organizations. And I'm wondering why the Trudeau government won't divest its shareholding in this costly and ineffective albatross of a state enterprise.
I worked summers in the post office when I was in college. I find it shocking that an organisation that was designed to carry and deliver over 95% of all postage and parcels in Canada has evolved so little in the face of competition. Letter traffic has dwindled to a pathetic trickle since email and texting. Parcel deliver has been championed by the courier companies. The Post Office actually thought that delivery flyers and other useless nonsense would bolster their bottom line. The Post Office needs to compete with couriers if it is to survive. With all of it real estate and assets being paid for by the public I really do not understand why that is as great a challenge as it is when facing for profit private companies.

Canada Post needs to charge corporations a fair rate. Companies get bulk discounts which provide them almost free shipping while the end customer gets hosed, both in personal mail rates and with the fact that the companies that get the discounts don't charge the customer the lower rate but rather the full rate as extra profit
I'm looking forward to this!! I'm sure the mailman will be happy with this, as I check my mail barely once a month.
We don't have mail on Sundays already and it's not an issue... why not reduce it to 3 times a week...
