What about Santa will he still get his mail or will he now have to go to the post office like everyone else?

Post Office here serves the whole town. Everyone's goes there to get their mail, UPS, Fedex ends up there too. Three employees, two are part timers do all the sorting, counter work. Envelopes, stamps, coinsets for sale.
Seems to be a model every neighborhood in a large city could use.
They should add in a computer stall to send printed e-mail to other postal station boxes and a machine you can stack a pile of mail in and run it through to get stamped, compete with Pitney-Bowes.

Same where I live. I walk about a half mile to pick up the mail. No problem, the exercise is needed.

The belly aching from the typical parties on the left make me want to barf.

To suggest this is an attack on seniors and the middle class is a joke.

Fortuantely, it appears that most of the impact to workers will be absorbed through retirements. Writing was kind of on the wall for this one.

Me too except that we only get Canada Post service here, anything sent via courier gets consigned over to CP as "priority post".

We get regular mail and priority parcels 3x a week, as long as the weather cooperates for the plane to bring it that is. LOL. Freight mail (standard parcels) only once per week and comes by ferry then boat so not usually a problem.

Take the dog for a walk once a day after work and just pick up your mail at the group-box, goddamn it. Christ, talk about your classic example of an overwrought first-world problem. I feel sorry for the letter carriers, as they were the better behaved and much less radical of the Canada Post workers, but the writing's been on the wall for years now. Can't pay people civil service wages just to be, basically, a group of overpaid junk mail deliverers. Obviously Canada Post will be needing more drivers for taking the mail to the group-boxes so hopefully they do the right thing and give as many of the existing carriers first opportunity to take up those jobs.

It was my turn to pick up the mail and freight from the airport this afternoon....a shitload of new supplies got sent in and that step up on the tailgate came in handy, as did the fold down hand rest.....for the two volunteers I grabbed from their spares(see lunch)

Expect the new CP ravens for airmail service

We can blame Trudeau, he was PM when the CMB were first implemented into new neighborhoods back in the early 80's.

so Justin can blame daddy instead of bitching about it to Harper

The crying from left about this is hysterical.

He's a rich kid who is the son of another rich kid. I'm sure that he genuinely couldn't give a hoot about mail delivery or anything else so lowly unless there is a sound bite to be blabbered.

My bills are sent through email so I haven't needed Canada Post for a long time and the last I used a stamp is when I sent back my Russian mali order bride.

For as long as I lived here, mail goes to the post office. When people say 'what about the elderly, or handicapped' my reply is: Groceries aren't delivered here either, so what about them?

[Jabberwalker]

Do they put them out on ice flows, up there?
